Over 30 Companies File Joint Letter to Stop California’s Anti-Affiliate Bill
I knew when Performance Marketing Alliance started on the project to stop California’s anti-affiliate bill (AB 178) that we would need to build a coalition to help is stop it. The good news is we found a coalition of tech businesses that dislike this bill as much as we do, with some names you will recognize including: Amazon, Ebay, Yahoo, and Google. What we bring to this coalition is a crucial small business element and grassroots voice which will make a difference.
Legislators will vote against big business, they will vote for increased taxes, but they wont vote against small businesses in their districts. That is why our voice as affiliate marketers is so important and will play a key part in stopping this bill.
I thought people might like to see the letter from the broader coalition to a key members of the California State Assembly to know we are not alone. (And no, it does not mean you get out of sending a letter or visiting your assembly member, it just means we can stop this if we all can work together. )
Here is a copy of the coalition letter (pdf).
