On Wed, 26 May 1999, Congressman Jay Inslee wrote:
Dear Erland:
In light of our joint concern regarding Internet taxes, I wanted to warn
you about another fictitious rumor currently circulating about email
surcharges.
The rumor states that Congress is reviewing Bill 602P sponsored by Rep.
Schnell. This bill would supposedly allow the federal government to
impose a 5-cent surcharge on each e-mail message delivered via the
Internet. It claims that the money would be collected by Internet
Service Providers and then turned over to the U.S. Postal Service.
The good news is that this rumor is completely false. Bill 602P does
not exist, nor is there a member of Congress named Rep. Schnell. In
fact, the U.S. Postal Service does not even have the authority to place a
surcharge on email messages. There is no legislation pending before the
House of Representatives to levy a tax on email messages.
I will continue to carefully monitor all Internet related legislation.
You can be sure that I will strongly oppose any attempt to tax email
messages.
If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to
contact me via email at: Jay.Inslee(a)mail.house.gov or by phone at:
1-800-422-5521.

Very truly yours,
JAY INSLEE

Subject: Very Important
Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and
continue using email: 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 U.S. Postal Service will be attempting to bilk
email users out of "alternate postage fees". Bill 602P will permit the
Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent surcharge on every email delivered, by
billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then
be
billed in turn by the ISP. Washington D.C. lawyer Richard
Stepp is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming
law.
The U.S. Postal Service is claiming that lost revenue due to the
proliferation of email 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 citizen 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 theU.S. Postal Service for a service they do not even
provide. The whole point of the Internet is democracy and
non-interference. If the federal government is permitted to tamper with
our liberties by adding a surcharge to email, who knows where it will
end. You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because
of bureaucraticefficiency.
It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from New
York
to Buffalo.
If the U.S. 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 ® 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 602P.
It will only take a few moments of your time, and could very well be
instrumental in killing a bill we don't want. Kate Turner Assistant to
Richard Stepp, Berger, Stepp and Gorman Attorneys at Law 216 Concorde
