The Performance Marketing Alliance is leading a grass-roots campaign to fight California Assembly Bill 178, a copy-cat of the NY bill that targeted affiliates.
With the support of the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Taxpayers Association, they think they have a strong chance of defeating this bill.
But we need the help of affiliate marketers of all strikes – affiliates, merchants, OPMs, netorks, etc.
If the bill becomes law in California, it is likely to be adopted by other states, a domino effect that couple cripple our entire industry.
But if we beat this bill, the likelihood of adoption in other states will be diminished.
Please help to spread the word – blog it, retweet it, video it, podcast it, etc.
The clock is ticking – we just have until March 31st to complete our grass-roots campaign.

Here it comes as predicted. this is going to be a state by state land grab to find money. it is imperative that everyone get going and rally around the PMA and fit this.
This is a very serious issue and due to the PMA’s great efforts we have a good chance at stopping this dead in its tracks.
CA is in the top 3 of states with the largest affiliate marketing population.
More salve in the eyes from the government when it comes to us small home-based business owners.
I am in this with both feet, Shawn. Thanks for the heads up.
Cal
