Excerpt from: THE FEDERALIST(r) BRIEF - 12 November 2001

GOVERNMENT

"To tax the Internet for the benefit of the Postal Service is
unsupportable reasoning. The Postal Service needs to survive
from its own revenues. If there is a shortfall, the government
can come up with it, as required, on the same principle as
rural free delivery.

"But to attempt to relieve its problems by contaminating the
Internet is something that any congressman who has taken an
oath to right reason is bound to oppose."
                                       --William F. Buckley, Jr.
