A personal friend of mine runs a research company. He asked me to pass this request around. It seems like a subject others here would care about, so here it is:

>>My little research company is doing a “quick survey” (one question) to gauge online shoppers’ attitudes about sales tax on Internet purchases. I’ve set up a link so that people can voice their opinion. Since I know you manage a big “friends” list, I’m hoping you’ll do me the favor of sending my request around – the more the merrier! If anyone asks, all responses are confidential – we don’t collect IP addresses or any other ID. Here’s the “blurb”, below:

State legislators in California, Minnesota, Connecticut, Illinois, and Tennessee want to impose an “Internet sales tax”. How do consumers themselves feel about it? When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to ask, so here’s your opportunity. We’ve created a quick one-question survey that asks the simple question, “Is it time for U.S. states to tax Internet purchases?”

Ask your friends and workmates to cast their vote too. We’ll post the results next week on RSR’s website, [www.rsrresearch.com]
