Last Thursday, the Albuquerque Journal carried an opinion editorial promoting our carryback proposal and explaining the importance of Senator Bingaman's bill to reinvigorate the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.

We greatly appreciate those of you who have reached out to your Senators in the past, and we urge you to use this opinion editorial as you continue to follow up with your Senators.

Encourage your Senators to co-sponsor both the Cantwell (S.3326) and Bingaman (S.3141) bills. Also ask your Senators to urge Senate Finance Committee Chairman Baucus (D-MT) and Ranking Member Grassley (R-IA) to include the Cantwell and Bingaman proposals in the Senate version of the small business jobs bill. We need to have as much support as possible before the small business jobs bill (H.R. 5297) comes to a vote.

If you have any questions about how to make your appeal or if you hear any news, please contact Peter Lawrence, (202) 649-3915.  Also, if your organization is not listed among our supporters here, please contact Rachel Reilly (202) 649-3903 to sign on.
