* If Congress passes the internet tax, mom and pop internet stores will be forced to comply with thousands of jurisdictions’ differing tax rates.
Big online companies can easily comply but
their smaller competitors could be forced out of business.
Small Business will be forced to endure massive increases in labor costs to comply
with new regulations.
* Big Brother Federal Government will begin Internet Regulation, and
the regulation of free speech.
Congress is considering online sales tax legislation that is wrongheaded and unfair, and I am writing to ask for your help in telling Congress "No!" to new sales taxes and burdens for small businesses.
Whether you're a consumer who loves the incredible selection and value that small businesses provide online, or a small-business seller who relies on the Internet for your livelihood, this legislation potentially affects you. For consumers, it means more money out of your pocket when you shop online from your favorite seller or small business shop owner. For small business sellers, it means you would be required to collect sales taxes nationwide from the more than 9,600 tax jurisdictions across the U.S. You also would face the prospect of being audited by out-of-state tax collectors. That's just wrong, and an unnecessary burden on you.
Big national retailers are aggressively lobbying Congress to pass online sales tax legislation to "level the playing field" with Amazon. And, as they compete with big retail, Amazon is advocating for this legislation too, while at the same time they are seeking local tax exemptions across the country to build warehouses. This is a "big retail battle" in which small businesses and consumers have a lot to lose. But eBay is fighting, as we have for more than 15 years, to protect small online businesses and sellers and ensure healthy competition, value, and selection that benefit consumers online.
The solution is simple: if Congress passes online sales tax legislation, we believe small businesses with less than 50 employees or less than $10 million in annual out-of-state sales should be exempt from the burden of collecting sales taxes nationwide. To put that in perspective, Amazon does more than $10 million in sales every 90 minutes. So we believe this is a reasonable exemption to protect small online businesses. That's what we're fighting for, and what big companies such as Amazon are fighting against.
I hope you agree that imposing unnecessary tax burdens on small online businesses is a bad idea. Join us in letting your Members of Congress know they should protect small online businesses, not potentially put them out of business. Make your voice heard. Together, I believe our voices can make a difference.

Save the Internet from Taxation
The Internet Sales Tax Is Back—Without Small Business Exemptions
By Patrick Clark September 19, 2013
When the Senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act in May, a major point of contention
was language exempting some small businesses from collecting sales tax on
out-of-state transactions. The law said businesses with more than $1 million in
annual revenue would have to collect tax for online transactions.
EBay (EBAY), a vocal opponent of the bill, suggested raising the exemption to $10 million.
(The company later offered a more nuanced view.)
Now the House of Representative is getting ready to take up its own Internet sales tax
legislation, only here’s the rub: The small seller exemption is likely to disappear
entirely, and EBay, to name one opponent of the Senate bill, seems O.K. with it.
Yesterday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican,
set forth seven principles to guide his committee’s discussion of an Internet sales tax.
These two stand out:
“Tech Neutrality. Brick & Mortar, Exclusively Online, and Brick & Click businesses should
all be on equal footing. The sales tax compliance burden on online Internet sellers should
not be less, but neither should it be greater than that on similarly situated offline
businesses.”
“Tech Neutrality” is straightforward, and was music to the ears of the National Retail
Federation, which has argued that a loophole allowing online sellers to avoid collecting
sales tax put brick-and-mortar vendors at a disadvantage.
“We’ve been on the record for years that we believe the small seller exemption is a relic
from when the software was extremely expensive,” says FedTax Chief Executive Officer David
Campbell, whose company provides business owners free tax compliance software by charging a
commission to states on tax it collects. “We’ll support whatever exception Congress thinks
is O.K., but we vehemently disagree that compliance has to be complex or expensive.”
EBay is also on board. The company “is very encouraged that the remote sales tax
principles released today by Chairman Goodlatte address concerns that we have raised on
behalf of our small business community,” says Brian Bieron, a public policy executive for
the company, in a statement. (The company didn’t answer when asked whether it was possible
to create a compliance framework so simple that it doesn’t require a small seller
exemption.)
That doesn’t mean small business owners should count on collecting
Internet sales tax, for which proposed legislation has been kicking around for at
least a decade. “Just because Chairman Goodlatte released principles,
doesn’t mean that it’s an endorsement of the Marketplace Fairness Act or remote
sales tax collection, as some would have you believe,” says Katie McAuliffe, an executive
at Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, in a blog post.

**** Stop the Internet Sales Tax - Hurts small businesses and you will be
paying $1000 a year in extra taxes.
The so called Marketplace Fairness Act. This is the feel good title given to
the
Internet tax legislation being pushed by corporate America. I don't know about you,
but as a conservative, I believe in simplifying the tax code, not expanding it.
If corporate America is complaining (rightfully so) about its tax burden, guess what the
solution is? To decrease the burden on them, not to levy new taxes against their
competition under the guise of "fairness." What will be the affect of this legislation if
it goes forward? It will begin crushing the marketplace and small businesses and should be
defeated. While this bill has passed the Senate, the more conservative House is more likely
to defeat it.
But your phone call is needed to insure this bill is defeated.
More and more we are finding it necessary to ask you to call your Members and ask
them to vote the right way, No to the Internet Sales Tax.

Deuteronomy 6:10-12 The recent conservative victory of last 2010 November clearly tells the sharks
that there is blood in the water and it is time to attack. The
Democrats have ignored the US Constitution in the increased in
federalization that they are prohibited from doing. It is time we get
moving in taking our country back. Find some local conservative
Republican to help and get the conservative victory show on the road.
Despite Congressional funding of NASA, the Obama Administration has
failed to spend appropriated money for the NASA programs, effectively
terminating space programs, and major space related job layoffs.
Many NASA engineers report going to work, with nothing to do.
"In my opinion, NASA's SLS program is stalled because the White House doesn't really want to do it," former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said Friday.
Griffin, who led NASA during the previous rocket program that Obama killed, has been a persistent critic of NASA's current direction. Griffin is now an eminent scholar at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
"You will recall that SLS is derogatorily referenced by some as the 'Senate Launch System,'" Griffin said in an email response to questions. "That is because the Congress forced it upon the executive branch. The fact that it is the right thing for NASA to do is irrelevant; the White House doesn't want to do it, and they will do everything possible to prevent it from occurring."

Ares This artist's rendering shows the NASA rocket program
President Obama killed last year. Now, a smaller Earth-to-orbit rocket like the one
on the left will be built by private industry, while a larger heavy-lift rocket like
the one on the left will still be built by NASA, if the project gets going. Most of the candidates for president follow the liberal politically correct line. Most of them demonstrate their lack of courage and commitment by ignoring the issue of the Obama birth certificate. Why do they ignore that only Congress has the power to declare and wage war, not President Obama. It has been refreshing to hear Donald Trump speak out on the Obama Birth Certificate, while others act like cowards. Many of us wish that Donald Trump did not his moral baggage, otherwise we would take him very serious.

A video of Republican Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra vowing to end all federal student loan programs has surfaced on YouTube, putting the Michigan conservative on the cutting edge of a hot-button 2014 campaign issue.
Speaking before a Tea Party audience in January, the newly surfaced video shows Hoekstra claiming that President Barack Obama "federalized all the student loan programs," and boasting that, "I tried to kill federal student loans for 18 years. Loans are something that can be done by the private sector."
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan), whom Hoekstra hopes to challenge in November, is an advocate of federal student loans. She co-sponsored a bill to prevent interest rates on federal Stafford Loans from doubling and calls the issues "absolutely critical,"

The takeover of state Republican caucuses and conventions by Ron Paul supporters has now claimed another triumph. In Minnesota, a state legislator affiliated with Paul’s forces has won the party’s official endorsement for U.S. Senate, in the uphill effort to unseat Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Freshman state Rep. Kurt Bills won the party’s endorsement for Minnesota Senate at the state convention on Friday, the Star Tribune reports, taking 64 percent of the vote on the second ballot to surpass the required 60 percent threshold. Bills had already taken over 50 percent of the vote on the first ballot, against two challengers who were nearly tied for second place.
Bills was the first state legislator in Minnesota to endorse Paul for president in the 2014 cycle, and Paul in turn endorsed Bills for Senate. And now with the endorsement of the convention, Bills has likely won the nomination itself, with the state primary in August likely more of a formality.
Party conventions in Minnesota play an important role in state politics for both Republicans and Democrats — if one candidate win the 60 percent of delegates needed for an endorsement, the other candidates typically drop out.
As the St. Paul Pioneer Press noted, all three Republican candidates in this endorsement fight have pledged to abide by the endorsement process, and to drop out if they lose.
Minnesota Senate and Congress Candidates
The decision by longtime Senator Herb Kohl, Democrat of Wisconsin, to retire from the Wisconsin US Senate has started a scramble among Republicans to seize the electoral opportunity.
Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, made it clear on Tuesday that he would not run for the senatorial seat, opting instead to remain in the Congress and lead the Republican fight over the budget and national debt.
“Our nation is quickly approaching a debt crisis that will do serious damage to Wisconsinites and all Americans if it is not properly addressed,” Congressman Ryan said in a statement on his Web site. “I believe continuing to serve as chairman of the House Budget Committee allows me to have a greater impact in averting this debt-fueled economic crisis than if I were to run for the United States Senate.”
Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson in 2007 was considered as a major contender.
Mr. Ryan’s congressional decision has apparently played a role in prompting another veteran Wisconsin politician to consider seeking a return to the spotlight. Several news organizations, including Politico and National Journal, reported Tuesday that Tommy G. Thompson, the former two-term governor and 2008 presidential candidate, is mulling a run for the Senate seat.

Dale Peterson, the inspiring politically incorrect politician statesman: Remember why we are in a mess is the liberal non leadership of
Republicans, that have failed to lead us for the past 8 years.
For 6 years Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and failed
to pass any anti-abortion legislation or any conservative legislation.
It took most of your friends in church over 6 years to figure out that
Bush was not a conservative. Never forget that John McCain got 7
million votes less than George Bush got in 2004. We lost our
excitement and our people (7 million of them) did not bother to vote
in 2008 as they did not want to continue to support the losing
leadership of liberal Republicans.
More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage, according to a recent analysis of "The American Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009" released by The Heritage Foundation.
While Obama, Pelosi and Reid insist that "if you like your health insurance coverage, you'll get to keep it," it's now very clear: once again, THEY'RE LYING.
If the public plan is implemented as detailed in this bill, people with private insurance will be moved on a public plan, regardless of what they want, because their employers will make that decision because of the financial incentives in the bill.

Although it is not clear whether congressional legislation would be required to enable the FCC to regulate the Internet by enforcing its rules on net neutrality, the misleadingly titled "Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009" (H.R. 3458) has already been introduced on July 31 to assert the government's authority to enforce net neutrality on the Internet.
Regualtion of the Internet, comments by Ron Paul Ron Paul on Regulation of Internet.
Call your congressman and senator, ask then to support legislation to keep the FCC out of regulating the internet.
Ask Congress to cut the FCC Budget by 75% so they will not have the personnel to regulate the internet.
In a surprising move on October 22, Senator John McCain announced the introduction of his new bill, "The Internet Freedom Act of 2009," which would block the FCC's net neutrality rules in order to prevent "a government takeover" of the Internet.
Click here to take immediate action to send an email to your representative and senators in opposition to a government takeover of the Internet via the FCC's proposed "net neutrality" rules. Let them know that you oppose H.R. 3458, which authorizes the government to regulate the Internet on the basis of net neutrality, and support Senator McCain's new Senate bill, which would block the FCC's attempt to regulate the Internet on behalf of net neutrality.
Now that Senator
McCain is up for re-election, he is finally doing something right.
What this issue of net neutrality comes down to is this: Congress is not authorized by the Constitution to regulate the Internet. Furthermore, if we do allow the government to regulate the Internet to enforce net neutrality, you can bet that sooner or later this regulatory power would be extended to regulate the content of Internet communications. The First Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech...."
Pick up your phone and call your Congressman and tell them to stand against the Obama regulation of the internet. 202-224-3121, 800-965-4701, 800-828-0498
Never forget that John McCain has worked tirelessly to pass amnesty
for illegal aliens and to give them citizenship. Remember the McCain
Fenigold Act passed with support of almost all Democrats and a few
Rino Republicans. Should have been called the Silence Christian
Conservative Act, as conservative attack ads on liberals are forbidden
60 days before an election. The point is we need to support
conservative Republicans in the primaries now, not the liberal Rino
Republicans whose lack of leadership cost us dearly in the 2006 and
2008 elections and resulted in the election of Obama in 2008.
We must secure our borders. That means that we need to get rid of liberal
Republican turncoats like John McCain, who have us betrayed time and time again.
John McCain vs. J.D. Hayworth for US Senate.
We must secure our borders. That means that we need to get rid of liberal Republican turncoats like John McCain, who have betrayed time and time again. The principle was very clear for all to see but many of us did not see what brought Slick Willie to power in
Washington. It was the old, but true, adage that you can not defeat somebody with nobody. G. H. W. Bush had
not remained true to the principles of the Great Communicator - principles which had resonated with the
masses of the American people. With no fundamental guiding philosophy and no specific direction or policies
to defend, our people; conservatives, Christians, Republicans, stayed home in droves. In contrast, the radical
left was well organized, well financed and totally infiltrated into the mainstream media. Led by a smooth talking
snake-oil-salesman from Arkansas, they cruised to an easy victory.
The message was clear then but most Republicans still did not see it yet. If you are wishy-washy, if you are
watered-down, if you are in the middle-of-the-Road, you will get ran over by folks on either side who believe
in what they want to do, know where they want to go, are well organized and above all well led.
The RINOs studiously avoided these facts and continued to spread the lie that the only way to electoral victory
was to be moderate, diverse and of course the focus group tested - inclusive. We were sold a bill of goods,
told to water down our message, to compromise with evil and to move to the middle - code for moving left.
After all, politics, they told us was not about purity or principles. It was to be about looking more like our opponents.
Now a visionary came forward to lead the Republican party back to its principles, lead it back to its core values
and lead it back to victory on election day. A former college professor from Georgia, Newton Leroy Gingrich,
proposed the now famous Contract With America that promised ordinary Americans we would hold
Congress accountable to the same principles that Americans valued in their local communities and personal
lives.
No more compromises - we would campaign on clear principles and bold promises! That was the old
winning platform of Ronald Reagan - led well and ably by the
hard charging Congressman from Georgia who would become
the first Republican Speaker of the House in almost half a century.
That should have been the happy end of the story. Clear Republican
victories so sweeping they were compared to a bloodless
revolution. We would take America back to the strong,
free and prosperous days of Reagan.
Education: Education should be controlled locally. The federal government should not be preempting the parent's authority over their own child. Local educational authorities working with the parents and the teachers are all that is needed to make our schools better. The federal government should be out of education completely. The money being taken from the taxpayers of each of our states to meddle with our schools should stop immediately. Education is a state and local issue. The parents have and should have the primary responsibility concerning the education of their child. NCLB and the Department of Education have increased the cost and bureaucracy of education while reducing accountability to parents and lowering standards by draining resources and causing the focus to be on a top down, one size fits all approach. we need for accountability and high standards. But federally mandated reports that isolate the parents, teachers and local education authorities from the operations and control of our schools are not the answer. Parents and students, nor anyone else on the local level, do not get to see the test after they are graded. we need to repeal NCLB and eliminate the the Department of Education. That money can be more effectively managed at the local level. Government spending is out of control. Federal revenues have gone up 46% in the last four years.
Have wages gone up that much in the same period of time? Yet, with that massive increase in revenues, spending has gone up even more. Congress, which is responsible for all budgets, is spending at a faster pace than all the money they are taking from the American
people. Congress is running huge deficits each year. This causes the money in our pockets to be worth less and less. Martin Luther King Minister
Spending levels for every department should be frozen immediately. Our federal government's budget should be much smaller. We need to end corporate welfare. We need to end federal subsidies. Entire departments can and should be eliminated. Congress must cut spending and start paying off the national debt for the well being of our children. For information that explains how to restore the foundations established by our forefathers of the 1700s. That civil rulers hold their commission and authority under Christ. Not that Christ has pointed out the form of government, or the persons to rule and govern; in this sense his "kingdom is not of this world" But Christianity enforces the law of nature; and has confirmed the several constitutions of states and kingdoms, and called our obedience to the higher powers, as the gospel finds them.
The should obey the Ten Commandments Ten Commandments.
The mode of government, and persons to govern, are submitted to the wisdom of men, in pursuance of a divine ordinance, that second causes might operate. It being the method of God to carry on the designs of his government in this world, by the instrumentality of subordinate Agents. When therefore, a people unite in a form of government, and choose persons to rule and govern them and pledge their faith to be obedient to, and support the government, "though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth thereunto." The Magistrate then, called to office by the voice of the people, and solemnly sworn, becomes an ordinance of God, and receives his authority from him, "by whom Princes rule, and Nobles, even all the Judges of the earth." And the apostle, when he enjoins obedience to civil rulers, "because the powers that be, are ordained of God," means to include in his idea, the methods by which they become possessed of their power, and likewise the use and improvement they make of it:
If they rule for God, and for good to the people, they are to be subjected to, otherwise, "we ought to obey God, rather than men." http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=50 Illinois Candidates for Congress New Hampshire Senate Candidates ,
