The West Virgina gazette is reporting that “Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos recently declared that he would welcome a federal law setting nationwide sales tax collection rules for online and catalog sales.”
http://wvgazette.com/Opinion/Editorials/201106070734
the WVGazette is attempting to propagandize an Internet Sales Tax, stating that online retailers that sell to West Virgina residents are “evading” state sales tax.
The WVGazette should be taken very lightly on their words before you consider that they are trying to push a government agenda to tax People more.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com should be called out on how he benefits from his attempts to push the same propaganda.

There have been many news reports recently about organizations losing their toll free number only to have it snagged up by a sex hotline. It’s called Mass Misdial Marketing or MMM for short. It’s a term coined by “Earl Bannon” of the Toll-free Advisory Committee in 2002.
SMSGOV has been pushing a grassroots federal bill to limit the acceptable uses of Mass Misdial Marketing. SMSGOV has been in contact with multiple news sources and popular internet bloggers familiarizing them with Mass Misdial Marketing and steering them toward pushing the agenda that Mass Misdial Marketing should be limited.
We’d like to thank Earl Bannon for his work on Mass Misdial Marketing and for everyone involved for educating the industry on MMM.
