 Dear Erick, For the past several months, Campaign for Liberty has dug in our heels to battle one of the biggest assaults on taxpayers, state sovereignty, and the Constitution to come out of the 113th Congress. If big-spending politicians and establishment lobbyists manage to pull their plan off, an essential protection for small businesses and entrepreneurs will be stripped away... ... Creating open season for tax collectors on some of our nation’s most innovative job creators. Your representative, Rep. Cory Gardner, has come out in opposition to the National Internet Tax Mandate, boosting our chances of defeating the bill. So I hope you’ll call Rep. Cory Gardner at (202) 225-4676 today and thank him for supporting taxpayers against this corporatist cop-out. Urge your representative to go one step further by signing Representative Thomas Massie’s letter to House leadership asking them to simply not bring the bill to the floor for a vote. As I’ve written before, the National Internet Tax Mandate overrides the standard established by the Supreme Court in Quill Corporation v. North Dakota preventing states from taxing businesses lacking any “physical presence” in that state. So in addition to having to remain in compliance with nearly 10,000 tax jurisdictions across the country, small businesses will face almost constant threat of audit and being dragged into courts in states where they may not even have any physical presence. Simply put, state boundaries would be rendered meaningless for sales tax collection purposes, and online businesses in states such as Texas would have no recourse against big spending, high tax legislators in states such as California changing their tax laws or raising rates. Though it’s called the “Marketplace Fairness Act,” this bill is about as fair as the “Patriot” Act is patriotic. Your representative has taken a brave stand against a powerful machine. So please contact Rep. Cory Gardner right away and let him know he is not alone. If there’s an event where your representative may be speaking while in the district this week, and if you can attend, be sure to personally thank him for standing with the taxpayers on this issue. Thank you for your dedication to defending our freedoms! In Liberty,  John Tate President P.S. The National Internet Tax Mandate would create open season for tax collectors on some of our nation’s most innovative job creators. Your representative, Rep.

Urge your representative to go one step further by signing Representative Thomas Massie’s letter to House leadership asking them to simply not bring the bill to the floor for a vote. And if you’re able at this time, chipping in $10 or even $5 will go a long way toward helping C4L stay at the forefront of the fight against big-spending, money-grabbing politicians. |
