Speak-Up for E-Fairness
As the Jewelers of America Political Action Committee (JAPAC) prepares for its 4th annual visit to Washington, D.C., next month, we are collecting testimonials from JA Members to present to lawmakers on the critical topic of sales tax fairness. By June 6, email us and explain why you support e-fairness. Let us know why it's important to your business and how the lack of a level playing field on Internet taxation has hurt your business. Email Susan Thea Posnock, JA's Director of Public Affairs & Education, at [email protected].
We need your feedback now! More than a year has passed since the Senate voted in favor of the Marketplace Fairness Act, but the House continues to debate the measure.
