Sorry for the duplicate posting, but somehow my mailer garbled the first attempt.
> For whatever it is worth > Bill 602P will permit the Federal Govt. to charge a 5 cent > surcharge ... > One congressman, Tony Schnell (r) has even suggested ...
This is a hoax. See http://www.usps.gov/news/press/99/99045new.htm
There is no "Bill 602P," and no "Congressman Schnell" exists.
Please, people. We know you mean well, but forwarding these bogus warnings causes more damage and headaches than you're ever going to prevent in the unlikely event that one of these things is actually true. And if it IS really true, I think we can rely on more traditional news channels to get the word out, instead of chain letters.
If you really feel you have to forward a warning like this, check it out first!! There are lots of good places to do that, such as:
http://www.urbanlegends.com, including http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/emailtax.html http://urbanlegends.about.com, including http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blemtax2.htm http://www.ciac.org/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html, including http://www.ciac.org/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html#emailtax http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
...and there are others. Check it out before you propagate a hoax!
