HI Roy
The following came in this morning from a member of a local
computer user group. 

If such a charge is put into effect your service will be seriously 
impaired.

Further, citizens will have lost their best hope of countering the
propaganda
of business/government.

Thought you would like to know.
Regards,
Ed

The FCC is to decide in two weeks if we will pay a charge every time we
sign
on to the internet, even if it is a local call. I saw this on the news
last
night and it sounds like they are leaning in favor of this new law.  I,
for
one, would not stay on the Internet if they do pass this into law, and
our
news program indicated that the phone companies are behind this and
pushing
hard to get it passed.  I'm getting a letter off tonight to my
congressman.
Thank you for your time.

You can locate your Congressman's address at:

Please write to him/her.

I just heard on CNN, that the FCC will make decision in TWO weeks as to
if it
is going to allow a CHARGE, equal to a LONG DISTANCE CALL, EACH time you
access the Internet!   This would stop me from doing genealogy via the
computer, what about you?  Please write your congressman.
