CALL TO HELP !

The banking industry is swarming over Capitol Hill in an effort to gut or defeat S. 61, the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act. The latest tactic is to try to limit the loans that can be modified in bankruptcy to sub prime loans.

These Senators are thought to be undecided or subject to being swayed one way or the other:

Max Baucus – Montana

Robert Byrd – West Virginia

Tom Carper – Delaware

Tim Johnson – South Dakota

Mary Landrieu – Louisiana

Joe Lieberman – Connecticut

Blanche Lincoln – Arkansas

Claire McCaskill – Missouri

Ben Nelson – Nebraska

Mark Pryor – Arkansas


Jon Tester – Montana


The freshman Democratic Senators have no history with this issue:


Mark Begich — Alaska

Michael Bennett – Colorado

Roland Burris – Illinois

Kirsten Gillibrand — New York

Kay Hagan – North Carolina

Ted Kaufman – Delaware

Mark Udall – Colorado

Tom Udall – New Mexico

Mark Warner – Virginia


A few Republicans


Bob Corker – Tennessee

Richard Lugar — Indiana

Mel Martinez – Florida

Arlen Specter — Pennsylvania

George Voinovich — Ohio

If you or family or friends are constituents of any of these lawmakers, give them a call or email in support of a no cost opportunity to stop the housing collapse.
