Build America so America Works: The Petition to Build America

A generation ago America put a man on the moon – but today we can no longer be assured of crossing bridges safely or being safe from failing dams or levees. Our infrastructure no longer works. It’s time elected leaders - and candidates for president, for Congress and for local and state offices – stood up for rebuilding America.

Sign the Petition to Build America and help put Build America issues on the nation’s agenda.

Tell the Senate: Don't Reward Homebuilders for Helping Create the Housing and Mortgage Crisis

Now more than ever America needs relief from the housing and mortgage crisis. As many as 3 million families face foreclosure. In 2007 alone, 232,000 construction workers lost their jobs. And the crisis threatens retirement security.

Under a little-known provision of the Foreclosure Prevention Act, corporate homebuilders would get as much as $33 billion in tax breaks—even though they made billions in profits through subprime lending and speculative investors that helped create the current crisis.

Tell the Senate not to reward corporate homebuilders!
