Help Fight the Maryland Tech Tax !

Apparently the MD legislature has been working to enact a new law that will go into effect on July 1st 2008 which taxes several tech related services which many of us perform as part of our businesses.  According to a great web site set up called Fight the Tech Tax here are a list of services effected:

The following services are listed within the bill:

• Computer facilities management and operation.
• Custom programming.
• Computer system planning and design that integrate computer hardware, software, and communication technologies.
• Computer disaster recovery.
• Data processing, storage and recovery.
• Hardware or software installation or maintenance, and repair.
• To view the enacted language, click here.

There is a good FAQ site that I urge everyone to head over to in order to gain some more info.  I am going to look into this a little more, but from what I have read so far, it is not very tech friendly and could cause some pains for all of us who live in, or EVEN perform services in, Maryland.  There is a blog and lists of ways to help fight this legislation.

Anyone who reads this, could you please help spread the word, Digg it, Stumble it, Mixx it, whatever we can do.  This social media train really needs to pick up some steam here and fight to head off this bill beofre it gets enacted in July !!  Thanks in advance for al of your help.
