Dear ****,
I am writing today because there is a very serious effort under way in Washington, DC, to overturn federal law governing Internet Sales Tax. The legislation being debated right now would be especially unfair to small business retailers using the Internet. The proposed new Internet Sales Tax policy would impose new, unjust costs and burdens on consumers and smaller retailer competitors, undermining the healthier economy that is just now emerging.
eBay works hard to convince policy leaders in Washington to protect small business retailers from any new tax burdens, but the most important voice in this debate should be the small retailers using the Internet to compete. People like you! I believe that if small businesses and entrepreneurs across America make their voice heard, people in government will listen and protect them from new, unjustified taxes. And there is now a new way to join other entrepreneurs to make your voice heard—Join the Web Enabled Retailers Helping Expand Retail Employment Coalition!
The WE R HERE Coalition is an independent organization that already has over 1,000 small businesses and entrepreneurs from across the country uniting to make sure Congress doesn't harm the innovative retailers using the Internet to compete. I believe WE R HERE brings a critical voice, and powerful local stories, to this important policy debate. Please click here, learn more, and join. There is no cost to join, and without your voice we will all suffer the real costs of bad Internet Sales Tax policy.
