Hawaii Amazon Associates have been invited to re-enroll. Got this last night:

Also, Governor Lingle vetoed Hawaii Bill SB1678 but it was just overridden by the Senate. This bill is also known as the Online Streamline Tax Bill. Hawaii will now jo...
Dean - Mahalo for your great work raising awareness of this bill and organizing an effort to get it vetoed.

I hate to be dramatic but the future of Hawaii's online media industry is in jeopardy and your immediate action is needed. Bill HB1405 is a bill that could cause a huge blow to Hawaii's Online Media Industry. It will handicap Hawaii's Online Media by not allowing them to fully monetize their websites giving an advantage to international and mainland companies and professionals.
