The REALTOR(r) Party (Back)

Published by on May 14, 2009

Quite frankly, politics is business when you consider the types of changes that are now being contemplated by mayors, governors and Members of Congress across the country:

• What would happen to the real estate market in your community if the mortgage deduction was eliminated from the tax code?
• What would happen if your customers were unable to afford the property insurance they needed to qualify for a mortgage?
• How would the overhaul of health care impact the insurance coverage of the hundreds of the thousands of self-employed REALTORS® across the country?

Partisan politics must be a thing of the past. Our allies in local, state and federal government span the political spectrum - and we need to work with each one of them to make sure they continue to support the interests of the real estate profession. In fact, the REALTOR® party has been a leader in building the bipartisan relationships necessary on both sides of the aisle in  every state. We need to build on that success and your involvement now can help make that happen.

 RPAC Auctions

The RACI RPAC Committees are planning two RPAC Auctions this year. The first one is Thursday, June 4, 2009 at the Kokomo Country Club starting at 4:30 p.m. This auction is hosted by the RPAC Sub-Committees of Howard, Tipton, Cass and Miami counties.

The next auction is Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at the Elks Country Club in Marion starting at 5:30 p.m. This auction is hosted by the RPAC Sub-Committees of Grant & Wabash Counties.

All members and affiliates are welcome to attend either or both auctions. We are in need of auction items or baskets. We need both large and small items, baked goods, and crafts. Notify the RACI office of your auction item(s) or commitment to donating an auction item. Contact Renee@RACI.org.

All auction money supports the county of the winning bidders.
