Congress will be voting in less than two weeks. CNN stated that the Government would, in two weeks time, decide to allow or not allow a Charge to your phone bill equal to a Long Distance call EACH time you access the Internet. The address is house.gov house.gov Go visit the address above and fill out the necessary form. If EACH one of us, forward this message on to others in a hurry, we may be able to prevent this injustice from happening! Please Pass This ON > > >>
