Act Now on the Housing Stimlus, Posted by Vicki

I have heard from many of you recently, and also know firsthand, how difficult the market is currently. But, no matter how tough the market is, REALTORS are tougher. And right now, REALTORS have a great opportunity to show our grit by letting U.S. Senators know how important it is to pass the Housing Stimulus legislation.

This bill will help restore confidence in the market by making the increases to the loan limits for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration permanent. It will help REALTORS do what we do best – put people into homes.

If you haven’t already communicated with your U.S. Senators, please join the more than 45,000 who already have. With the simple click of your mouse, you will join thousands of REALTORS who have let Congress know that this legislation is vital to jumpstarting the housing market.

Just go to the REALTOR Action Center to show your U.S. Senator just how tough we are. Do it now! -- Vicki Cox Golder, 2008 First Vice President

Comments

Having followed the goings on of the last week between the House & Senate, the attack on Senator Dodd, the White House’s threatened veto and the House’s continued work, those who haven’t responded to the call for action are clearly harming their business, the best interests of their clients and customers and the future well being of the nation as a whole (maybe this sounds melodramatic but this is not grandstanding). If ever there was a reason to respond to a CFA, this is it!
