Internet tax bill dead if this story is correct
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2013 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), who was Facebook bombed by over 3,000 young activists in recent days, announced this morning that his committee would not take up Senate-passed legislation to collect taxes on Internet sales. Goodlatte's statement effectively kills the bill, deceptively labeled the "Marketplace Fairness Act."
Generation Opportunity organized the Facebook bomb, encouraging its grassroots army to leave comments on Goodlatte's Facebook page. Over 3,000 public comments were posted in the first few hours alone, as reported by POLITICO.
