New Hampshire Senator John Sununu Helps to Extend Ban on Internet Taxes
The senate reached a compromise on Thursday to extend the federal ban on internet taxes for another seven years. This is the longest extension of this ban so far. New Hampshire senator, John Sununu played a key role in getting this extension completed, although it didn’t go as far as he wanted. John Sununu wanted the ban to be permanent, but you know how Democrats are, they will never accept a permanent ban on taxing anything, they have to leave the door open to new taxes, especially if Hillary is elected president.
The New Hampshire Republican said yesterday he was set to force an up-or-down vote on a bill he co-sponsored calling for a permanent ban when leading Democrats approached him to bargain. He said that although the seven-year ban is not “optimum,” it is “the longest one we’ve ever had and nearly twice as long as the (four-year) ban passed by the House.
The bill now has to go before the house and be passed by more Democrats who are willing to NOT tax something before the bill can go to the president.
There are currently nine states that already do tax internet usage, my state of New Hampshire included, that are grandfathered and are allowed to tax the internet because the taxes were in place before the ban took effect. Sununu’s original bill would have ended the granfather clause and required the nine states to drop their internet tax. He wasn’t able to get that part of the bill passed and so New Hampshire and eight other states will still be able to tax us.

I created a support John Sununu badge that I have placed on my blog. When you click on the image it takes you to a page where donations can be made.
Here is the code that you can try placing on your blog. I am not sure if it will work for you or not:
If that code doesn’t work you may have to upload the Sununu image to your blog first. I can send you the image. You would then need to upload the image to your blog, find the URL that your blog saves images to, and replace my address in the code with the address that your blog saves addresses to.
Let me know if it works or not. If it doesn’t work I will send you the image and I will try to explain what I just wrote more clearly. I don’t think what I wrote makes any sense.
Now I am going to create a support Joe Kenney button, if the Sununu one works for you I will post the code for this one also if you want it.

For some reason when I post the code it screws up the whole comment. I will email you the code if you would like.
