| If you paid the federal excise tax on long distance phone service in
the past three years the IRS has a line for refunds on 2006 tax forms.
There is a lot of information about the refund on the IRS website, including
information about what to do if you already filed but didn't know about
this credit. See www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=164032,00.html.
The tax is still applied on local telephone service. Bills are in Congress
to repeals this tax also: H.R. 1194 and S. 140, The Telephone Excise Tax
Repeal Act of 2007. |

INDIVIDUALS SIGNED BELOW, and the sponsoring organizations of this campaign,
have opposed the war against Iraq as well as the ongoing military occupation.
We oppose the policies of “pre-emptive war” and an “endless”
war on terrorism which led to the Iraq war, which violate human rights and international
law, and which have cost us hundreds of billions of dollars while our states and
cities face unprecedented deficits, and cutbacks of vital services and programs.
We intend to do more than simply oppose these policies with our words, and we
invite you to join us, as we Hang
Up On War! Each month, most of us unknowingly contribute to
the war policies we resolutely oppose — because every telephone bill includes
a 3% federal excise tax that helps to pay for them. - Hang
Up On War! is campaign for people who want to “up the ante”
on their nonviolent resistance to the “endless war” policy while reducing
the flow of their money to war.
- Hang Up On War!
calls on individuals to refuse to pay their federal phone tax, an act of civil
disobedience which sends a message to Washington that says “Not With Our
Money.”
- Hang Up On War! encourages participants
to take their resisted phone tax money and give it to groups working to heal the
wounds of war.
Please join Hang Up On War! Find out what’s
involved with the information on this website, and then click here to sign your
commitment to resist the federal phone tax.
