Act Now to Repeal 1099 Mandate in Federal Health Care Law.
Act today in this multi-state effort to
tell Congress to repeal the "1099 mandate" in the new federal health care
law. Unless repealed, Section 9006 of the new federal health care law will place
an unprecedented burden on businesses large and small by requiring them to file
1099 tax returns with the IRS on virtually all non-credit card purchases
totaling $600 or more with any vendor in a tax year beginning in 2012.
The goal of this new mandate is to raise $17 billion in revenue for the
federal government, leaving businesses scrambling to figure out how to comply
and pay for the accounting costs and increased business exposure to costly and
unjustified audits by the IRS. At a time when our economy needs businesses of all shapes and sizes to rebound from the recession, saddling them with new requirements and paperwork burdens, including this 1099 mandate, only further hampers their ability to succeed and ultimately aid in our economic recovery.
Please take action today! Ask Congress to repeal the onerous and
burdensome 1099 reporting mandate!

Health Care Law.
Michigan Chamber Gets the Job Done in Key Legislative
Races. Many important races were decided in the August 3rd Primary
Election. In addition to being actively involved in the campaign for governor,
the Michigan Chamber, as a statewide business organization, made many primary
endorsements in key legislative races across the state. In the Michigan Senate,
the Michigan Chamber endorsed 18 candidates; we are pleased to report that
all 18 won. In the State House, the Michigan Chamber endorsed 28 candidates -
all but six of these candidates won. These wins represent a big step forward in
retaining a pro-business majority in the Michigan Senate and increasing the
number of pro-jobs, pro-taxpayer lawmakers in the State House. to
