We have got to stop this thing, contact your Senators and demand they vote against S. 336!

[jbauer]

great!!!!

We're one of those small retailers. We've got less then $10k in internet sales a year. We already have to figure out how to collect taxes when we go to expos in other states and actually have a physical although not permenat location. Its a PAIN IN THE ASS!!! This will CRUSH small busienss done over the internet. Can you imagine figuring out if you're supposed to pay monthly or quarterly or annually. Figure out if the location of the purchase has city, municipil or county rates on top of state rates? This is a disaster. It'll force us underground. We'll start accepting mailed checks only.

Dear,

Call it the Valentine's Day Tax Massacre.

Just hours ago, statists in Congress introduced S. 336, the National Internet Tax Mandate.

Of course, the tax-and-spenders sponsoring the bill mislabeled it the "Marketplace Fairness Act."

Designed as a fat Valentine's Day "I LOVE YOU" to big spending politicians, this dangerous bill would hand the federal government massive new controls over state tax policies and set the stage for government at all levels to take another helping of your money via the Internet.

That's why it's critical you sign the petitions I've made up for you DEMANDING your Representative and Senators vote "NO" on the statists' National Internet Tax Mandate scheme.

I'll give you the link shortly, but first let me explain exactly why this is so important...

Currently, because of the Founders' vision for our country, states are "laboratories" - free to set their own tax policies.

High tax, big spending, highly regulatory state governments send businesses and citizens alike fleeing across state lines in search of more liberty.

But under the National Internet Tax Mandate scheme, the statists are setting the stage to bring it all to a crashing halt.

Under the new National Internet Tax Mandate:

*** All Americans would see their taxes go up as big spending governors of BOTH parties work with the federal government's IRS goons to implement a state sales tax on ALL goods purchased online.

Big spending governors are running their states into bankruptcy, and - instead of reducing spending - they want the IRS to force YOU to bail them out with new Internet taxes!

*** Tax collectors in one state would now be free to pursue retailers across state lines.

For example, if a customer in New York makes a purchase from an online retailer in Texas, that retailer MUST collect New York's exorbitant sales taxes and send it to New York's tax collection agencies;

*** New and higher taxes would CRUSH economic growth and set the stage for massive new regulations that threaten the very existence of the Internet.

Make no mistake.

This is all bad enough on its face.

But it's hardly the end of it.

You and I both know, under the guise of "national security," establishment bureaucrats are already feverishly looking for new ways to trace, track, and register all Americans' online activity.

What you read. What you buy. What videos you watch. What you write about THEM.

Now the one-world socialists at the United Nations want in on the action, as well.

Just a few months ago, the U.N. drafted a new "Telecommunications Treaty" to impose restrictive regulations, global CENSORSHIP, and a massive new tax on all Internet operations.

If ratified by the United States Senate, the United Nations' "Telecommunications Treaty" - designed to take effect in 2015 - could give control of the Internet to U.N. bureaucrats.

Ultimately, the U.N. hopes to use this scheme to take a tax bite out of the TRILLIONS of dollars exchanging hands via Internet commerce - money that will make the U.N. a true world government.

And this National Internet Tax Mandate is playing right into their hands.

That's why it's so critical you sign your No National Internet Tax Petition and make your most generous contribution of $100, $50, or $35 to C4L IMMEDIATELY (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r).

Even if you can only chip in $20 or $10, it will make a tremendous difference.

Just like the Wall Street bailouts and the recent "deal" over tax hikes, this new National Internet Tax Mandate is "bipartisan" to its core.

And the statists in BOTH parties are determined to RAM this scheme into law quickly before you and I have a chance to react.

Governors from all over the country who literally CANNOT wait to be FORCED to raise taxes are busy bending the ears of Congress.

Now, some of the loudest voices in Congress are Republicans who think you simply don't care about this critical issue.

I think you do care.

Will you stand by while the big taxers impose yet another tax on hardworking Americans?

Do you simply shrug your shoulders at the thought of United Nations global socialists shutting down the free flow of information worldwide?

Or will you help me FIGHT BACK?

Please take a moment to sign your petitions DEMANDING your Representative and Senators vote "NO" on the National Internet Sales Tax IMMEDIATELY (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r).

And if you can, please make your most generous contribution to C4L TODAY (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r).

Your generosity will help me alert hundreds of thousands of Americans to this critical fight and stop the National Internet Tax Mandate.

C4L will use mail, email, and hard-hitting Internet ads - and even newspaper, radio, and TV ads, if necessary.

It won't be cheap.

But it will be what it takes to win.

So in addition to signing your petition, won't you please agree to your most generous contribution of $100, $50, or $35 IMMEDIATELY (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r)?

Even if all you can do is chip in $10 or $20 to this fight, please do so right away.

There's literally no time to waste.

In Liberty,

President

P.S. Members of BOTH parties in Congress are working feverishly to unleash a new National Internet Tax Mandate.

If passed, the new National Internet Tax Mandate would hand the federal government massive new controls over state tax policies, setting the stage for government at all levels to take another helping of your money via the Internet.

That's why it's critical you sign the petitions DEMANDING your Representative and Senators vote "NO" on the statists' National Internet Tax Mandate scheme - and then make your most generous contribution of $100, $50, or $35 to C4L IMMEDIATELY (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r).

Even if all you can do is chip in $10 or $20 to this fight, please do so right away (http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/11424376:14578601223:m:1:401182723:8FB6C2E3F92D35C 1E3A3AB812E2ECBBF:r).

Signed and donated. Perfect item for today's activism. Lay off the police threads for a minute and help stop this shit.

[itshappening]

You have to admit John Tate is amazing at writing these emails (or whoever is doing it for him)

[jtap]

Mail sent to my senators.

[Lucille]

The first shot of the massacre was fired on Thursday, when Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) introduced the National Internet Tax Mandate Act, S. 336, legislation allowing state governments to force online retailers to moonlight as state tax collectors.

A Republican. There's a shocker.

Sad that there's only 3 comments.

Emails sent. Thanks.

[frodus24]

I AM GOING ON STRIKE.....TIRED OF PAYING FUCKING TAXES ON EVERYTHING!

[Keith and stuff]

Even though this tax would help the NH economy because sales taxes would increase in most states but not in NH, Sen. Ayotte has been working hard to fight this for months. It is one of the few things she is unexplainably doing right.

Once again the accounting companies will prosper.
