Rally Day 2009 was an enormous success! Nearly 1,000 builders, developers, remodelers and associate members from around the state joined the Texas Association of Builders at the Capitol on February 25 to participate in the day's events. Governor Rick Perry, our key speaker, enthusiastically addressed TAB members on the South Steps of the Capitol. In his speech, Perry mentioned his support for businesses, low taxes and plans for the recently passed federal stimulus bill.  "Texas supports the healthiest housing market in the nation", said Gov. Rick Perry in his Rally Day address to the Texas Association of Builders at the Capitol.

Immediately following the Rally, TAB members and Texas legislators enjoyed BBQ and catfish on the Capitol lawn. The weather was beautiful. 

Throughout the day, every Senator and Representative was visited by Rally Day participants. TAB members left a folder of key issues along with a tool kit with the legislators. The capitol building swarmed with TAB members taking advantage of the opportunity to meet face to face with lawmakers and their staff. Our participants effectively informed them of the issues important to our industry and our position on specific bills.

Culminating the Rally Day events, TAB hosted a legislative reception at the historic Driskill hotel in downtown Austin.  Everyone who participated in Rally Day was invited to attend, including the legislators.  The reception was an enjoyable conclusion to a successful Rally Day at the Capitol!
