The House is still in session. I have word from a rep. on the floor tonight that the internet tax is “likely” to pass! You need to call your legislator’s office NOW. Here is another thing you can do. Find him/her on Facebook. Many of them have an account. Send them a message. It will get to them on the House floor. Tell them not to pass another tax. That is not what Republicans do.
The lobbyists are circling like vultures. They want this internet tax! You must act.

But there is at least one thing all us, together, can do. We can ALL contact the Majority Floor Leader in the House of Representatives and ask him not to allow any of these crazy bills to reach the floor. The Floor Leader is the general who decides which bills will go to the floor for final passage and which ones won’t. He has a great deal of power.
His name is Jim Stamas. He is a pretty conservative and reasonable legislator. Please contact him tonight!

- SB 658 & 659. These are the Senate versions of HB 4202 & 4203, “Mainstreet Fairness,” otherwise known as the internet tax. It’s bad for business and for taxpayers. Here is very good op-ed on this legislation. Here is a good analysis of the legislation.
If you have time, please contact your own state rep. Find your representative’s contact information here.
