PRESS CALL: McCain's Not-So-"New" Housing Plan: What's Good and What's Bad

Last night, McCain said about his housing plan: "It's my proposal. It's not Sen. Obama's proposal. It's not President Bush's proposal."

Actually, as Jim Kuhnhenn notes today<http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hfHkP_o1JurPm5e9mEZEFMFKaJwgD93M3EK00>, McCain's idea is not new nor is it his. Center for American Progress Action Fund experts have been pushing ideas extremely similar to what McCain is proposing since 2007<http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/13/opinion/main3257337_page2.shtml>. CAPAF will hold a conference call with Executive Vice President and Managing Director for Economic Policy Sarah Rosen Wartell<http://www.americanprogressaction.org/aboutus/staff/WartellSarahRosen.html>, a former official at Housing and Urban Development and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council under President Clinton, to discuss Sen. McCain's proposals, what's missing, and what the next steps need to be to ensure that the American homeowner is able to survive this economic crisis.

WHAT: Teleconference on John McCain's Housing Plan

WHEN: Today, October 8, at 5:00pm EDT

CALL IN: 888-674-0222

ID: McCain Housing

WHO:  Sarah Rosen Wartell, Executive Vice President and Managing Director for Economic Policy
