We Knew this was coming!! Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent charge on every delivered email. 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 your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation the US Postal Service will be attempting to bill E-mail users out of “alternate postage fees.”

Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. 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 RichardStepp is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming law. The US Postal Service is claiming that lost revenue due to the proliferation of e-mail is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year.

You may have seen their recent ad campaign “There is nothing like a letter.” Since the average received about 10 pieces of email per day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents per day, or over $180 dollars 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 & non-interference. If the federal government is permitted to tamper with end. You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of bureaucratic efficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from New York to Buffalo. If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with email, it will mark the end of the “free” Internet in the United States. One Congressman, Tony Schnell (r) has even suggested a “twenty to forty dollar per month surcharge on all Internet service” above and beyond the government’s proposed email charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea of email surcharge “a useful concept who’s time has come” (March 6th 1999 Editorial). Don’t sit by and watch your freedoms erode away!

Send this e-mail to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and relatives to write to their congressman and say “No!” to Bill 602-P. It will only take a few moments of your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a bill we don’t want.
