C4L: Stop the Internet Tax Mandate

Campaign for Liberty

The statists have wasted no time launching all-out assaults on our liberties, even though the new Congress is less than three months old.

According to Capitol Hill sources, proponents of an Internet sales tax are seeking to include all, or at least provisions of, their so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” into a budget resolution during the Senate Banking Committee markup, which started today. 

And if they can’t do it there, they may try to add it on the Senate floor.

This legislation, which is more accurately called the “National Internet Sales Tax Mandate,” “deputizes” small business owners as state tax collectors to collect sales taxes from your online purchases!

Senators pushing this legislation love to use feel-good catchphrases to describe it, hoping to convince us this bill would create a “level playing field” and ensure businesses pay “their fair share.”

But in reality, this bill threatens to stifle the next Internet start-up while it’s still in its infancy.

In fact, by ignoring the “physical presence” standard established by the Supreme Court ruling in Quill Corp v. North Dakota, a new, more burdensome, bureaucratic tax regime will emerge.

Here are just a few reasons why it’s so devastating. 

The National Internet Sales Tax Mandate would:

*** Stifle Competition:
The Mandate creates barriers to entry in the Internet marketplace that would keep only the largest businesses competitive.  Small businesses with a gross income over $1 million annually would be forced to familiarize themselves and comply with the 9,600 distinct taxing jurisdictions across the country.

*** “Deputize” Business Owners:
As stated above, business owners are forced to become tax collectors and are responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting tax obligations to all of those 9,600 jurisdictions with their unique rates, definitions, and exemptions.

*** Raise Taxes:
The Mandate would force you to pay higher taxes if you buy goods online, even if you live in a state with no sales taxes!  Worse yet, this legislation removes any downward pressure on sales tax rates, since many individuals and businesses required to pay them will be located out of state and have little, if any, recourse against politicians who hike tax rates.

I need your help right now if we’re going to defeat this legislation.

Your Senator, Pat Toomey, is on the Senate Budget Committee.

This is the first time in four years the Senate will markup a budget resolution.

And it’s the first time this issue has come up for a serious vote since 2001.

I need you to call Senator Pat Toomey at 202-224-4254 and demand he oppose any attempt to include all, or provisions of, the misnamed “Marketplace Fairness Act” in any budget resolution considered by the Senate Budget Committee. 

Also, urge him to oppose adding the full bill or any provisions of it through action on the Senate floor.

I just faxed a letter to both Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee telling them the same thing, but to keep this from happening, we’re going to need some reinforcements.

Please take a moment today to place a phone call to your senator in support of lower taxes.

Thanks for all that you continue to do for liberty.

In Liberty,

John Tate
President

P.S. According to my Capitol Hill sources, the statists are trying to include all, or provisions of, the misnamed “Marketplace Fairness Act” into a budget resolution when the Senate Budget Committee meets for a markup, which started today.

Please contact Senator Pat Toomey at 202-224-4254 and demand he oppose any attempt to include the entire MFA or parts of it into a budget resolution during the committee process or through action on the Senate floor.

After you’ve called, please chip in just $5 or $10 to help Campaign for Liberty continue to fight back against the constant barrages on our liberties coming from the Washington establishment.

Rand Paul: Anti-gun legislation is moving at a lightning pace



With anti-gun legislation moving through Congress at a lightning pace, it’s never been more important for gun owners to take action at a moment’s notice.

Despite what some may say on Capitol Hill, your calls, emails, letters, petitions, faxes and personal visits do make a difference.

In fact, the National Association for Gun Rights has developed quite a reputation in Washington as THE “take-no-prisoners” gun rights organization willing to mobilize its 2.8-million members and supporters against ALL forms of gun control.

NAGR is the fastest-growing and most effective gun rights group in America. I’m a member, and you should be too!

I also LIKE the National Association for Gun Rights on Facebook. 1,000,000 gun rights activists -- just like you -- LIKE their page as well.

That’s quite a powerful group of gun owners NAGR can mobilize -- within seconds -- to protect your gun rights.

Facebook is an important and growing way grassroots organizations like NAGR communicate with members.

If you have yet to LIKE NAGR on Facebook, please click on the image below to join 1,000,000 other gun rights activists who have already done so.



Of course, if you don't have a Facebook account, I certainly understand.

Your continued grassroots activism is needed now -- more than ever -- if you and I are to defeat Barack Obama’s anti-gun legislation.

Please continue to call and email your elected officials in Washington, DC.

And, if possible, please chip in $10 or $20 to help the National Association for Gun Rights identify and mobilize millions of gun rights supporters nationwide.

Please act today!

For liberty,


Rand Paul
United States Senator
