Copy of Petition to Congress:

As a homeowner and constituent, I urge Congress to oppose any changes to income tax deductions on my home.

Making changes to the Mortgage Interest and Real Property Tax Deductions will harm the financial stability of American families.

Right now the tax system encourages home ownership and investment. Widespread home ownership has contributed greatly to economic security, helped build a more stable society and strengthened the middle class. A loss of deductions makes a significant impact on my family’s budget.

My home’s value is finally beginning to increase. Don’t slam the door to recovery by changing the tax rules. As a homeowner and constituent, I urge Congress to oppose any changes to income tax deductions on my home.

Congress, don’t take away our home tax deductions!

Copy of Letter to Congress:

Dear Representative,

I am writing to you concerning our federal income tax system. Tax reform ideas are always worthy of discussion and consideration. Indeed, the reform of anything as important as the U.S. system of taxation deserves long-term deliberation.

Making changes to the Mortgage Interest and Real Property Tax Deductions will harm the financial stability of American families.

Any tax reform proposal must be balanced and preserve the effective provisions that American families have relied on for a century to help build wealth through home ownership. Widespread home ownership has contributed greatly to economic security and helped build a more stable society and strengthened the middle class.

My home’s value is finally beginning to increase. Don’t slam the door to recovery by changing the tax rules. Now is the time for you to be a voice for me and all of America’s 75 million homeowners.

Thank you,

[Your Name]
