CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- From jilted Amazon affiliate to political activist, Rachelle Paplow hopes to organize other outraged marketers and convince voters to repeal the Internet sales tax.

"It's unfair, and we want Amazon back in the state of Colorado," Paplow said.

She and her husband Adam, run New Start Wealth Systems and Celebrity Style Magazine from their modest Centennial office space.

But Rachelle had also posted a blog on the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS runner's watch and heart rate monitor.

Every time someone went through her blog to Amazon.com to buy the $160 unit, she gets a small cut.

"I'd sold six of them. I only make $5. It's not much money," Paplow said.

But earlier this month, she got the letter from Amazon telling affiliates their accounts were closed.

"Programs like this keep us self-sufficient." Paplow said. "And it's basically a commission of a referral fee. And to take it just doesn't make any sense."

Wednesday she launched coloradoamazonassociatespetition.com, taking online signatures to see if others feel the same way as the newfound political activist.

"I just finally got something, I guess, that struck a chord and I felt like I needed to do something about it," Paplow said.

As of Thursday night, they had just four supporters.

"But it's difficult. It really is. It'd be a lot easier to do the right thing in here. We still have time," Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray told TheDenverChannel on the south steps of the state Capitol.

Brophy said he tried again Thursday to get Democrats to support a repeal of the Internet sales tax he believes affects up to 10,000 Coloradans.

"His (Senate Majority Leader John Morse, D-Colorado Springs) short answer was, 'Hell no.' So, unless they change their minds, I don't think we're going to get a bill started," Brophy said.

He supports the efforts of people like the Paplow's but realizes the fight is a tough one.

"It's generally thought to take at least a quarter of a million dollars to get something on the ballot here," Brophy said. A spokesman at the Secretary of State's office told TDC the Paplow's would need 76,047 ink on paper signatures to get a repeal by initiative measure on the statewide ballot in November.
