I've put the ad here: http://www.politechbot.com/docs/taxad.102301.pdf Background: http://www.cfif.org/5_8_2001/Free_line/current/dissembling_dorgan.htm >The Internet tax moratorium expired on October 21. It did so because one >U.S. Senator–Byron Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota–blocked a vote on a >House-passed bill that would have extended the ban on Internet taxes for >two years. No voice has been stronger or clearer on the need to maintain >the moratorium than that of the Center for Individual Freedom. When Dorgan >obstructed extension of the moratorium, the Center ran an ad to identify >that responsibility. In response, a Dorgan spokesman attacked the "center >for misinformation" and, of course, added that the Senator opposes access >taxes and new Internet taxes. ********* From: "Jeff Mazzella" <jmazzellaat_private> To: "Declan McCullagh" <declanat_private> Subject: Center Holds Sen. Dorgan Accountable for Expiration of ITFA Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 11:52:27 -0400 Organization: CFIF Declan, I thought you'd be interested in seeing the attached ad that we ran today in the Washington Times (Page A6), informing the taxpayers to who's responsible for allowing the Internet tax moratorium to expire. If the Senate doesn't act quickly, our Internet access bills will soon look like our phone bills (taxed, taxed and taxed again). When that happens, we can all thank Senator Dorgan. Regards, Jeff Jeffrey Mazzella Vice President, Legislative Affairs Center for Individual Freedom 901 N.
