House Passes Credit Exchange
Extension |
|
The House of
Representatives passed the extenders bill on Wednesday
with a one year extension for the 9% credit exchange
program. It is unclear how quickly the Senate will
consider the extenders bill, as one of the
revenue-raising provisions in the bill, the so-called
carried interest provision, is controversial in the
Senate, and the Senate is still consumed with working on
health insurance reform.
Three things you can do now to
support the campaign:
-
-
Please continue to contact House Ways & Means members,
especially through in-person meetings, to urge them to
contact Chairman Rangel in support of the ACTION
proposals, especially the carryback for existing
housing and proposal to broaden the investor base. One
concrete "ask" can be to ask your Representative to
cosponsor the Pascrell bill (H.R. 4109). - Contact local media,
especially those outlets located in districts of House
Ways & Means Committee members and states of
Senate Finance Committee members, to urge them to
editorialize in favor of our proposals, such as those
editorials from the San Francisco Chronicle and LA
Times.
