Stop AOL's Email Tax

In February 2006, AOL announced that it would accept payment for incoming emails. For these certified emails, it would skip its usual anti-spam filters and guarantee delivery for cash. The free passage of email between Internet users is a vital part of what makes the Internet work.

Help stop this tax which threatens a free and open internet. Read more and sign the petition at www.dearaol.com
