PROPOSED $15,000 TAX CREDIT FOR HOMEOWNERS IN JEOPARDY!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 In the Mountains

DangerAs the Senate prepares to take a final vote on the economic stimulus package, there has been talk of trimming the $15,000 tax credit for homeowners that was proposed last week.

Let your elected officials know where YOU stand on the issue.

The National Association of Home Builders Legislative Hotline - 1-866-924-6242 - makes it as easy as pushing a few buttons to do just that. Call the number, enter your zip code when prompted, and you are immediately given the option to leave a message with each of your two senators and your representative in Congress.

I would urge each of you to make the call right now on this matter of great importance!!
