Letter to the Councilmembers Re: HPAP

I sent this out yesterday and hoped everyone could join the cause in informing our Council how important the HPAP program is.  I wrote this Wednesday morning when we only had 120 votes, now we have 350 votes.  Its amazing what the internet and media can do to help the cause.  Thank you again.

Councilmember’s,

Councilmember Brown specifically:
We met for the first time last week at the Law Offices of Benny Kass during Bruce Finland’s luncheon.

To all:
I know that HPAP was revised last night to include an additional $50 million in funding but I wanted to convey the support of the city in a petition to keep HPAP funds on my site.  In the last 14 hours (as of my writing this email) there have been 120 signatures on my petition page (fully trackable to ensure unique entry) , all of which will be packaged and delivered at the end of the week.  (You can check back frequently to see how many have signed the petition at www.buildingdc.com/petition/. For all of us whose livelihood is based in real estate  (and those of you whom are DC homeowners) if you pull HPAP you pull the bottom of the market out from under everyone, which could in turn send the DC market further into a downward spiral.  Please support HPAP as long as you are in office, it is an integral part of this cities foundation.

Thank you again for your work & support,
