Political Action and your Contributions |
RPAC contributions have always made sense from my perspective, not only as a real estate professional, but also as a property owner. For me, as a real estate professional, I have always considered RPAC contributions a “cost of doing business.” As a property owner, I look at my RPAC contributions as a way for me to have my interests represented as a property owner. If you think about it, there is no real voice in congress for property owners EXCEPT for the voice of REALTORS.
I intend to publish some of the RPAC success stories over the next few months and I encourage you to click on the link and make a contribution each time…just $5 if you think the below success is a benefit to you and/or your buyers and sellers. Of course if you can afford more than $5.00, please contribute more (http://RPAC.RealTown.com)
Keeping Banks Out of Real Estate:
- NAR secured, for the fifth consecutive year, a one-year prohibition in the FY07 Transportation/Treasury/HUD Appropriations bill, preventing the Department of the Treasury from finalizing its rule that would allow banks to offer real estate brokerage and management services.
What This Means for REALTORSÒ
- Banks won’t be permitted to enter the real estate business for another year. The prohibition will remain in effect until September 30, 2007.
I know many of you already contribute to RPAC and congratulations for that…$5.00 more can help make a difference. If you have not contributed, give up one or two Starbucks for the good of your business. http://RPAC.RealTown.com
