Yesterday the White House sent an e-mail with important information -- copied in part below, after this message.  It contains links to various documents and the Treasury info site.  The most important ones are the application form for businesses to apply for the SBA loan program, and info sheets for borrowers and lenders.

According to some reports, the SBA may have a site up this week and will be able to fund these loans, possibly as soon as Friday.
