Previous Tax Incentive Co-sponsors Who Haven't Yet Signed-on in 2012

Note: This list includes past supporters who never co-sponsored in the 112th Congress (2011-12), but now that we're in the 113th Congress all past supporters should be urged to renew their support. See the full list of last year's co-sponsors.

While we're thrilled to have 311 House and 28 Senate co-sponsors for legislation to make the enhanced easement incentive permanent, there are still 28 senators and 13 representatives who supported identical legislation in previous years but haven't yet agreed to co-sponsor H.R. 1964 or S. 339.

Please help us get these legislators back on board. It ought to be easy to call, thank them for their past support and urge them to sign-on in the new Congress. Simply call the capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 or click here for detailed talking points and fact sheets:

• Representatives can co-sponsor the Conservation Easement Incentive Act, H.R. 1964, by contacting Lori Prater (5-4315) in Rep. Gerlach's office or Carla McGarvey (5-3311) in Rep. Thompson's office.
• Senators can co-sponsor S. 339, introduced by Senators Max Baucus (D-MT) and Charles Grassley (R-IA) by calling Tiffany Smith (4-4515) at the Senate Finance Committee.
