I oppose H.R.5660 - Main Street Fairness Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
Even the name is absurd. There is nothing "fair" about this tax as it will place unbearable burdens on small businesses and will in no way benefit small businesses on Main Street but rather big business on Wall Street. Any small benefit in costs to the consumer by purchasing through internet is almost universally offset by... -

I am writing as your constituent in the 15th Congressional district of Ohio. The internet has really leveled the playing field for small business, and forcing out of state companies to collect out of state taxes will complicate and increase the cost of doing business. So called "revenue enhancement," which is what this is, will only hamper economic growth and do nothing to encourage fiscally responsible state government. I oppose H.R.5660 - Main Street Fairness Act, and want to see no furthe...

I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Utah. I vehemently oppose H.R.5660 - Main Street Fairness Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org. Please oppose this bill and vote against it if given the opportunity.

I am writing as your constituent in the 28th Congressional district of New York. I oppose H.R.5660 - Main Street Fairness Act, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability. Why not promote "fairness" by reducing the tax burden on "brick & mortar" sales? This bill is just another example of liberals taking every possible opportunity to milk the American people of their hard-earned money.
Sincerely,
