It&#039;s easy, go here: <a href="http://www.house.gov/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.house.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://www.house.gov/</a> </p><p>&nbsp;TOP LEFT CORNER- enter your zip code and your rep&#039;s info comes up. </p><p>CALL&nbsp; THAT NUMBER, GET AN EMAIL ADDRESS FROM THE NICE PERSON ON THE OTHER END&nbsp; OF THE LINE</p><p>EMAIL YOUR REP!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t write something on your own, feel free to copy and paste what I have written to my own rep:</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Hello XXX,</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>I&nbsp; am a voting member of your district. I am a coin collector and&nbsp; concerned about some unintended circumstances to my hobby that,&nbsp; unexpectedly, stems from the passage of the national health care bill.&nbsp; It seems that a 1099 form will have to be filed for transactions above&nbsp; $600 beginning in 2012. I can only imagine that this will have&nbsp; disastrous consequences to many of the avid dealers and collectors in&nbsp; coin and bullion (numismatists).</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>From information obtained&nbsp; through a circle of friends and associates, I understand that there is a&nbsp; bill introduced by Rep. Dan Lungren (H.R. 5141), which has gathered&nbsp; over 80 members of Congress as co-sponsors to repeal the section which&nbsp; affects these transactions.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Can you please tell me if you are&nbsp; familiar with Rep Lungren&#039;s bill? If so, do you support it? If you are&nbsp; not familiar, is it important enough to you to learn more about this?&nbsp; And, sorry for so many questions, but can you tell me that if you do&nbsp; support it, would you be willing to take extra measures so that both&nbsp; sides of the aisle can see how this affects small guys like me?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>For reference, this link will take you to an article regarding just a smattering of what I&#039;ve come to learn about this subject: <u><a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=11843" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=11843" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=11843</a></u></b></p><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u></u><a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/...rticleId=11843" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/...rticleId=11843" rel="nofollow"></a> If I can be of assistance in helping you to gather more information, please let me know.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Thanks for your time,</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>XXX</b></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s&nbsp; EASY to do this... easier than writing posts on a forum where the&nbsp; audience already supports you. YOU have to take action to get this&nbsp; information into the hands of the people who represent you in&nbsp; government. That&#039;s how the system works... congress is not going to read&nbsp; our forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
