TheRestlessMouse.com reports:
They had taken their 1-800 number off of their websites in favor of just posting their local phone number. Management says “Good thing we didn’t cancel our toll-free number… Turns out that a lot of people still pay per-minute on long distance. Who knew?” They continue by announcing that they will reactivate the use of their toll-free and add it back to their website.

The Red Cross has instituted a new 1-800 number that will make it easier for people to reach their loved ones in active military service. Starting Monday, June 13 members of the military and their families can utilize the toll free telephone number 1-877-272-7337 to send a message to service personnel in an emergency. Currently, dialing this toll free number only works for families living at military installations. But thanks to the Red Cross, this changes on Monday.

The West Virgina gazette is reporting that “Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos recently declared that he would welcome a federal law setting nationwide sales tax collection rules for online and catalog sales.”
http://wvgazette.com/Opinion/Editorials/201106070734
the WVGazette is attempting to propagandize an Internet Sales Tax, stating that online retailers that sell to West Virgina residents are “evading” state sales tax.
The WVGazette should be taken very lightly on their words before you consider that they are trying to push a government agenda to tax People more.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com should be called out on how he benefits from his attempts to push the same propaganda.
