The Senate Meets Tuesday to Discuss Tax Credit -- Tell Them It Works!
You are receiving this email because your Senator serves on Senate Banking Committee (see list below). The Committee is holding a hearing on Tuesday entitled, "The State of the Nation's Housing Market." The hearing will examine the current state of the nation's housing sector, including the impact and effectiveness of the homebuyer tax credit.
It is critical that today or tomorrow you visit this link to send a note to your Senator who serves on the Committee, letting them know that the tax credit is working -- saving and creating jobs in your community -- and urging them to extend and expand the credit. We encourage you to personalize the message, to talk about how the tax credit is saving and creating jobs and talking about what will happen if the credit expires.
Thank you for your continued support of Fix Housing First!

Help Build the Fix Housing First Army!
As you may know, things are moving on the homebuyer tax credit and now it appears that there may be a vote on it as early as next week in the US Senate. We're not sure what that bill will look like just yet --- there are lots of bills, proposals and rumors swirling about. As soon as we know what we have, we will get back to you (on short notice) with an urgent request to weigh in with your two Senators.
In preparation for next week, we need your help now to build our army. Some 50,000 people have taken action through the Fix Housing First website, a testament to how important the tax credit has been to you and to the economy. But we need more. We need supporters ready and in place for next week's push.
With that in mind, we are asking you to please send this "Join Fix Housing First" link to your friends, neighbors, employees, suppliers, customers, family, etc. Send it to your Outlook contacts. If you're on Facebook, post the link there and urge people to join. That way, we'll have more people in our army when the time comes next week. If you want, you can just forward this link:

Thank you! Watch for our call to action next week.
