  Subject:  Fwd: Fw: Bill 602P 

  Guess the warnings were true.  Federal Bill 602P 5-cents per E-mail sent. 
  It figures!No more free E-mail!We knew this was coming!! Bill 602P will 
  permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent charge on every delivered 
  E-mail. 
  Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and 
  continue using E-mail.  The last few months have revealed an alarming trend 
  in the 
  Government of the United States attempting to quietly push through 
  legislation that will affect our use of the Internet. 

  Under proposed legislation, the US Postal Service will be attempting to 
  bill E-mail users out of "alternative postage fees." 

  Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government to charge a 5-cent surcharge 
  on every e-mail delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source. 
  The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. 

  Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this 
  legislation from becoming law. 

  The US Postal Service is claiming lost revenue, due to the proliferation of 
  E-mail, is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year. You may have 
  noticed their recent ad campaign: "There is nothing like a letter." 

  Since the average person received about 10 pieces of E-mail per day in 
  1998,the cost of the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents a 
  day -- 
  or over $180 per year -- above and beyond their regular Internet costs. 
  Note that this would be money paid directly to the US Postal Service for a 
  service they do not even provide. 

  The whole point of the Internet is democracy and noninterference. You are 
  already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of bureaucratic 
  inefficiency.  It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered 
  from coast to coast.  If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with 
  E-mail, it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in the United States. 

  Congressional representative, Tony Schnell (R) has even suggested a 
  "$20-$40 per month surcharge on all Internet service" above and beyond the 
  governments proposed E-mail charges.  Note that most of the major 
  newspapers have 
  ignored the story the only exception being the Washingtonian which called 
  the idea 
  of E-mail surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6th, 1999 
  Editorial).  Do not sit by and watch your freedom erode away! 

  Send this E-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and 
  relatives to write their congressional representative and say "NO" to Bill 
  602P. 
  It will only take a few moments of your time and could very well be 
  instrumental in killing a bill we do not want. 

  PLEASE FORWARD
