ACT NOW! Ask Congress to Pass the Financial Markets Stabilization Plan and Tax Extenders Immediately!

This week, Congress will make a second attempt at passing a financial market stabilization package that now includes the extension of BOMA-supported tax deductions for leasehold depreciation, brownfields expensing and energy efficient commercial buildings. Our economy could be headed to an even greater catastrophe if Congress does not act swiftly, making it next to impossible for the commercial real estate industry and our tenants to obtain the capital necessary to do business and provide jobs.

BOMA International urges you to act now and ask your United States Senators and Representatives to implement a plan that will bring certainty to the financial markets and provide critical tax relief to the industry. Swift enactment of legislation is needed to help stabilize the economy and ensure credit flows to businesses, commercial property professionals and consumers.

Below is a link to BOMA's Legislative Action Center, where you can write your Representatives (an email template is provided). You can also call the House of Representatives switchboard at (202 224- 3121 and ask for their representative's office.

Very simply, BOMA asks you to vote in support of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R.1424. BOMA supports this bill as they are confident that it will restore liquidity to credit markets and stability to our economy.
