By ELLIOTT MINOR, ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

AMERICUS, Ga. (AP) - The firing of Habitat for Humanity founder Millard Fuller has shocked volunteers nationwide who say he is instrumental in fund raising and has inspired them to carry out the group's mission of building homes for the poor.
Habitat Partners, a loosely knit group of volunteers, posted a 'call to action' on its Web site, urging the 1,700 U.S. chapters to ask Habitat's board of directors to reconsider the dismissal of Fuller, 70, a former millionaire who gave up his wealth to help the poor."
