FC: Sen. Byron Dorgan wants to keep the Net safe for tax collectors?

I've put the ad here:

Background:
http://www.cfif.org/5_8_2001/Free_line/current/dissembling_dorgan.htm
> The Internet tax moratorium expired on October 21. It did so because one 
> U.S. Senator–Byron Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota–blocked a vote on a 
> House-passed bill that would have extended the ban on Internet taxes for 
> two years. No voice has been stronger or clearer on the need to maintain 
> the moratorium than that of the Center for Individual Freedom. When Dorgan 
> obstructed extension of the moratorium, the Center ran an ad to identify 
> that responsibility. In response, a Dorgan spokesman attacked the "center 
> for misinformation" and, of course, added that the Senator opposes access 
> taxes and new Internet taxes.

Declan,

I thought you'd be interested in seeing the attached ad that we ran today 
in the Washington Times (Page A6), informing the taxpayers to who's 
responsible for allowing the Internet tax moratorium to expire.  If the 
Senate doesn't act quickly, our Internet access bills will soon look like 
our phone bills (taxed, taxed and taxed again).  When that happens, we can 
all thank Senator Dorgan.

Regards,
Jeff
