As the Jewish community heads into the holiday of Shavuot, the
\nHouse and Senate are expected to vote this week on the American Jobs, Closing Tax
\nLoopholes, and Preventing Outsourcing Act, a job creation bill that
\nwill likely include $1 billion for the National Housing Trust Fund
\n(NHTF) and an extension of unemployment benefits through the end of
\n2010. The inclusion of these measures is crucial to the economic
\nsecurity of millions of unemployed workers and low-income families.

\nTake action now! Urge your Members of Congress to ensure that the American Jobs, Closing
\nTax Loopholes, and Preventing Outsourcing Act (HR4213) includes funding
\nfor the National Housing Trust Fund and an extension of unemployment
\nbenefits through the end of 2010. You can call the Capitol Switchboard at
