Dear Fellow REALTOR®:

           Great News!! President Bush just signed into law the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. This is a major victory for REALTORS®, consumers, and our nation - and YOU helped make it happen!

         Thanks to your advocacy, homebuyers will soon have access to more affordable financing, and first-time homebuyers (those who have not owned a home for three years) will receive a tax-credit to help them enter the market. For more details on all of the provisions in the new law, please use the link below.

         This victory shows just how much we can accomplish when REALTORS®, like you, get involved in politics. Here are two ways you can help keep the Voice for Real Estate strong in your state and on Capitol Hill:

  • Answer the Call! Whenever you receive an e-mail from us, asking you to send a letter or make a phone call, please take the time to participate. All it takes is two clicks of your computer mouse. I know how busy you are, but these responses mean a lot to us and to your Members of Congress.

        Remember, YOU are the Voice for Real Estate! Working "All Together," I am confident that we will keep the real estate market strong and increase our mutual success for many years to come.

Contributions are not deductible for income tax purposes. Contributions to RPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal and the National Association of REALTORS® or any of its state associations or local boards will not favor or disfavor any member because of the amount contributed. 70% of each contribution is used by your state PAC to support state and local political candidates. Until your state PAC reaches its RPAC goal 30% is sent to National RPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a; after the state PAC reaches its RPAC goal it may elect to retain your entire contribution for use in supporting state and local candidates.
