Will you take a few minutes, right now, and help us to stop Louisiana Legislators from taxing the Internet? That’s right – we said the Internet. If this tax passes every person who pays for Internet access will undoubtedly see an increase in their monthly bill.
House Bill 569 is scheduled to be heard in a legislative committee today and we urgently need your help to stop it!
The Internet Alliance, Institute for Policy Innovation, and Louisiana Broadband Advisory Council are already opposing this bill, stating that it violates federal law.
We’re taxed enough already and national groups are already saying that passage of this bill would make Louisiana “look like a uniquely backward state.
A tax on the Internet is a Tax on the First Amendment. The net is my source of news and my place for expressing my religious and political beliefs. It is where I gather with like minded people to discuss governmental abuse like raising taxes and denying freedom.
