This past
winter, over 176,000 Vote.com voters logged on to make their voices heard on
Internet taxation. Ninety-three percent told Washington to keep taxes off
the Net. In a related referendum held during the past month, more than nine of
every ten voters specifically told Congress to extend the current moratorium on
Internet taxes.
On May 10, the House of Representatives
responded. Members voted 352-75 in favor of a five-year extension of the
ban on Internet-access taxes and other "discriminatory" fees aimed at the
Internet. The measure now moves to the Senate.
Here's how House representatives in each state
voted on the Internet Nondiscrimination Act (A "Yea" vote indicates support for
extending the moratorium):
