As the Jewish community heads into the holiday of Shavuot, the
House and Senate are expected to vote this week on the American Jobs, Closing Tax
Loopholes, and Preventing Outsourcing Act, a job creation bill that
will likely include $1 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund
(NHTF) and an extension of unemployment benefits through the end of
2010. The inclusion of these measures is crucial to the economic
security of millions of unemployed workers and low-income families.
Take action now! Urge your Members of Congress to ensure that the American Jobs, Closing
Tax Loopholes, and Preventing Outsourcing Act (HR4213) includes funding
for the National Housing Trust Fund and an extension of unemployment
benefits through the end of 2010. You can call the Capitol Switchboard at
