There was a strong grassroots movement of affiliates opposing the Colorado affiliate tax. Many people wrote letters, made phone calls, and showed up to testify in person.
HB 1193 was modified on 02/08/10 eliminating affiliates from it’s terminology. Lawmakers succeeded in preserving 100′s of jobs that are pumping money into Colorado’s economy.
UPDATE: Well Amazon decided to fire affiliates anyway and keep their business at the same time.
