Reaction to Marketplace Fairness Bill (Online Sales Tax)

http://www.retailonlineintegration.com/article/reaction-marketplace-fairness-act-editors-note/1
Here's the reaction that we received regarding last issue's Editor's Note, which focused on the highly controversial Marketplace Fairness Act (i.e., the online sales tax law) that's currently being debated in Congress. Thanks to all who sumbmitted letters!
The Marketplace Fairness Act is awful, especially for small businesses. I work for an online and catalog arts-and-crafts company, and our primary market is churches (mainly down South) that do Vacation Bible School, with a small presence in libraries, schools and hospitals. Our biggest issue is how are we supposed to handle tax-exempt organizations.
