I just did this. It only takes 5 minutes. Please do the same and send it to whoever you think might be impacted. I sent it to about 50 friends and business associates locally and throughout the country. Now is the time to press forward.   Wouldn't it be great if this was passed??? Wouldn't it be great if we helped? Please take a few minutes right now. Thanks.   How to Fix Housing Now!!   The National Assn of Homebuilders has representatives in Washington DC today pressing for passage of a bill, "Fix Housing First."  I'm behind it and encourage you to get behind it as well.  In a nutshell, the two key provisions are:   (1)  The federal government would offer a tax credit of between $10,000 and $22,000 (depending on locale) to anyone closing on the purchase of a home, new or resale, by December 31, 2009.  The credit would not have to be repaid, which is a major upgrade from a tax credit passed last summer; and   (2)  The government would provide a federally-subsidized 30-year fixed rate mortgage of 2.99 for all home purchases, new and resale, closing by June 30, 2009.  After that, the rate would be 3.99 for purchases closing by December 31, 2009.   Visit http://www.FixHousingFirst.com for full details and a direct link to your Senator and Representative.   Let's get housing fixed now!   Thanks--we appreciate you!
