Dear Liberty Activist,
I’ve just learned that senators supporting the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” are planning to force a full Senate vote on Internet taxes this Wednesday by attaching it to the Senate’s budget resolution.
This misguided proposal, despite being masked in “conservative-sounding” talking points, sets the stage for government at all levels to snatch another helping of your money via the Internet and opens the door for even more federal regulations.
More accurately described as the National Internet Tax Mandate, this legislation allows states to tax businesses without any “physical presence” in their state, ignoring the standard established by the Supreme Court in Quill v. North Dakota.
It flips the original intent of the Commerce Clause on its head by subjecting businesses to burdensome out-of-state taxes and represents the worst sort of taxation without representation.
And big-spending governors just can’t wait to get their hands on what essentially amounts to new bailout money through the federal government forcing more taxes on their citizens.
The last thing our country needs right now is more government and more special interests grabbing at our wallets.
Those who support lower taxes and smaller government must stand united in opposition to turning small Internet retailers into tax collectors for the states.
Please contact Senators Lamar Alexander at 202-224-4944 and Bob Corker at 202-224-3344 right away and demand a “NO” vote on all attempts to pass or endorse S. 336, the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act.”
This vote is of vital importance, and one senator could make all the difference.
Even if the budget resolution itself is defeated, if the Senate passes this amendment, supporters of the National Internet Tax Mandate will have momentum to fast-track their legislation as a standalone bill.
The U.S. Senate is under massive pressure from big corporations and D.C. lobbyists to get this tax bill passed.
It’s up to you and me to raise our voices and stop their plan, and one vote could make all the difference.
Please make your call right away and urge Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker to hold the line.
In Liberty,
