Comments on: Virginia Internet Marketers Ask Gov. Bob McDonnell To Keep His Word – Veto Bill 660 – The Advertising Tax Bill http://www.revenews.com/affiliate-marketing/virginia-internet-marketers-ask-gov-bob-mcdonald-to-keep-his-word-veto-bill-660-the-advertising-tax-bill/ Discussion of Online Marketing, SEM, Social Media, Mobile and Video, Micro-Content, and Affiliate Marketing Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jeannine Crooks http://www.revenews.com/affiliate-marketing/virginia-internet-marketers-ask-gov-bob-mcdonald-to-keep-his-word-veto-bill-660-the-advertising-tax-bill/#comment-24113 Jeannine Crooks Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:26:36 +0000 http://www.revenews.com/?p=5013#comment-24113 Jen Goode and I led a team of volunteers to the State Capitol the day before the bill was heard by the Senate Finance Committee. Together, we talked with 21 senators or their aides. While I prefer not to share our conversations in a public forum, I would be happy to discuss our experiences with anyone facing a similar challenge. Marc is correct about guidance and support we received from Rebecca and the <a href="http://www.PerformanceMarketingAssociation.com" rel="nofollow">www.PerformanceMarketingAssociation.com</a>. Take advantage of this excellent resource. While it's disheartening that SB660 passed the Senate, it's not over yet. In-person visits make a huge impression. Now is the time to fight even harder. It may not be in your schedule to take a day or two off to go to the State Capitol, but if you don't, you won't have a job anymore, so what's more important? Jen and I will be happy to help you in any way we can too. We're glad to be a resource. I'm Jeannine_Crooks on Twitter.

The state of Virginia will lose 17 jobs immediately and associated income tax. You cannot tax an entity for a product/service that does not take place in the state.
