Now - without your IMMEDIATE action - I’m convinced our worst fears for the lame-duck Congress are about to come true.
Even as I write you, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and a handful of Big Government Republicans, such as Mike Enzi (R-WY), are scheming to RAM the National Internet Tax Mandate into law.
Their goal is to attach this legislation as an amendment to "must-pass" legislation and railroad it through before the American people understand what hit them!
That's why it's vital you sign your NO NET MANDATE petition IMMEDIATELY.
NO Internet Tax Mandate
Please don't delay.
You see, if passed, EVERY American will feel the pinch of the new Internet Tax Mandate - even those who don't use the Internet or just log on to check email once a blue moon!
Not only that, but it would hand the federal government massive new controls over state tax policies and set the stage for government at ALL levels to take yet another helping of your money via the Internet.
In fact, earlier this year, one member of Congress stated he supported the Internet Tax Mandate because it would make it easier to impose a new national sales tax on American citizens!
And with all the crony "capitalist" lobbyists who are swarming Capitol Hill like vultures right now hoping to pick YOUR pocket, I'm afraid the statists in BOTH parties may get the votes they need to pass this radical legislation!
You see, worried that many mom and pop small businesses all over the country and other businesses are starting to outcompete and outsell their clients, slick corporate lobbyists have been DEMANDING passage of this new National Internet Tax Mandate to help "cut down" on their competition!
And the politicians in BOTH parties - whose eyes sparkle at the thought of rolling in more taxpayer dough - seem more than happy to oblige.
I hope you're as outraged as I am by this unholy alliance.
Using taxes, regulations, subsidies, and government FORCE to drive out competition and drive up profit margins is the very opposite of free market capitalism.
Truthfully, I wonder how long our American system of government will last if politicians in BOTH parties continue to auction off government-guaranteed success to the highest lobbyist bidders.
But that's EXACTLY what some crony "capitalists" want.
The ugly truth is this radical scheme could be devastating to the last shreds of American economic growth.
Under the new National Internet Tax Mandate:
*** All Americans would pay more for the "privilege" of shopping online, as big-spending governors of BOTH parties work with the federal government to implement the Mandate.
Big-spending governors are running their states into bankruptcy, and - instead of reducing spending - they want Congress to force YOU to bail them out with Internet sales tax revenue!
*** Tax collectors in one state would now be free to pursue retailers across state lines.
For example, if a customer in New York makes a purchase from an online retailer in Texas, that retailer MUST collect New York’s exorbitant sales taxes and send them to New York’s tax collection agencies;
*** New and higher taxes would CRUSH economic growth and set the stage for massive new regulations that threaten the very existence of the Internet.
That’s why it’s vital you act TODAY!
NO Internet Tax Mandate
Statists in BOTH parties think the lame-duck session of Congress is the perfect time to RAM the National Internet Tax Mandate into law.
You see, many Americans just “tune out” from politics after elections.
Not only that, but many members of BOTH parties are anxious to get home for the holidays.
They’ll typically automatically cast “yes” votes on virtually anything considered “must-pass” – unless they’re really feeling the heat.
And I’m afraid more than a handful of politicians who CLAIM to support limited government and lower taxes see this is an opportunity to pull a fast one on the American people, hand those slick crony capitalist lobbyists a bone, and blame it all on Harry Reid!
After all, Harry Reid will be Senate Majority Leader until the new Congress is sworn in this January!
So please sign your petitions IMMEDIATELY.
And if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution, as well.
With your support, Campaign for Liberty can launch an all-out drive to turn up the heat on Congress to DEFEAT the National Internet Tax Mandate, including:
1) Contacting up to five million Americans via hard-hitting email to alert them to facts about the National Internet Tax Mandate during the lame duck;
2) Running web ads on heavily trafficked websites, working the blogs, and launching a state-of-the-art Facebook campaign to reach and mobilize up to four million more supporters;
3) Working the talk radio lines, writing op-eds, and in the days before the vote, launching hard-hitting radio ads calling on representatives and senators by name to vote AGAINST the National Internet Tax Mandate.
This won’t be cheap. But it will be what it takes to win - especially with time running out.
So please take a moment to sign your NO NET MANDATE petition TODAY.
NO Internet Tax Mandate
And if you can, please make your most generous contribution, as well.
Perhaps you can afford a generous contribution of $50. If that’s too much, perhaps you can afford a generous gift of $20 or at least $10.
As I explained, the National Internet Tax Mandate will affect EVERY single American while benefitting only the crony “capitalist” corporations who are seeking to drive out competition and the Big Government politicians who want more of our tax dollars.
So if you possibly can, please sign your NO NET MANDATE petition and make your most generous contribution of $50, $20, $10, or whatever you can afford today.
There’s no time to waste.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman
P.S. Slick corporate lobbyists are doing everything in their power to RAM through another assault on the Internet - the National Internet Tax Mandate – during the lame-duck session of Congress!
Their disgusting goal is to use taxes EVERY American will feel to help “cut down” on their competition!
Without your help, I’m afraid this nightmare is about to come true.
