I received this from an organization I belong to. I'm posting this not to promote my own ideals, but to warn others that this tax can also affect any organizations you belong to. Help fight this!! ( Link provided at bottom.)

Stefano,

AOL and Yahoo have announced that they will soon begin
imposing their own delivery fee (i.e. private sector
"tax") on email sent by groups like Grassfire to our
team members. If they succeed, we expect every internet
provider will follow their lead.

Note-- you will NOT directly pay this fee -- it will be
paid by groups like Grassfire. But indirectly, you WILL
pay in several ways, including the possibility of having
your Grassfire emails cut off and an immediate muzzling
of online grassroots activism. Even worse -- we believe
this will mark the beginning of the end of the free
email era!

This is one of the most serious threats to grassroots
citizen activism that we have seen. We are launching a
petition to stop this plan and I am asking every
Grassfire team member to take immediate action with
me to stop this dangerous threat.

For more information, including an audio report,
and to sign the petition:

Thank you for your prompt attention.

Steve Elliott, President
