affiliate marketing is being attacked and is a significant part of the performance marketing segment of our industry. The internet tax bill introduced by various states, is structured so it can touch everyone in the industry who are part of the performance marketing ecosystem. affiliates, merchants,advertisers, service providers, search engine, ad networks etc all get hurt by these State tax Bills.

It is very important that the community understand the reach and gravity of this tax as it can literally wipe out 100's of millions of dollars in industry revenue. it odes not create more tax. In fact it sucks more income out of our economy as all the big merchants are killing their programs in States that adopt the tax.

I hope everyone will help spread the word thru our industry and help fight this
