Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) penned an op-ed this morning calling on Washington to protect small Internet enabled businesses from a new burdensome Internet sales tax regime.  Today, in the U.S. Senate, Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Mike Enzi (R-WY) are introducing an amendment to the Senate budget resolution that would be the first step towards creating a national sales tax mandate that would allow state tax enfocement agents from one state to impose tax burdens on businesses located in other states.

Like eBay Inc., Senator Ayotte strong opposes these proposals and believes that Congress should be encouraging small businesses to thrive not “throwing up road blocks that make it harder for them to simply survive.”
