RPAC:

Your Best Investment in Real Estate

Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee

(RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candi-

dates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear:

REALTORS® raise and spend money to elect candidates who

understand and support their interests. The money to accom-

plish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REAL-

TORS®. These are not members’ dues; this is money given

freely by REALTORS® in recognition of how important cam-

paign fundraising is to the political process. RPAC doesn’t buy

votes. RPAC enables REALTORS® to support candidates that

support the issues that are important to their profession and

livelihood.

Members, YOU reached 100% of our

2011 RPAC goal.

Please help us raise our 2012 RPAC goal.

Have a Safe & Happy New Year!
