The National Association of REALTORS® recently
unveiled The REALTOR® Party Political Survival
Initiative.
In summary, a Supreme Court ruling last year
now allows “soft” (or corporate) dollars to be
used to fund political advocacy efforts. As
a result, NAR has launched The REALTOR® Party
Political Survival Initiative which includes a
proposed dedicated dues increase of $40 beginning
in 2012. The dues increase would be used
exclusively to fund political and issues advocacy
efforts.

initiative:

It is important to note that a vote on this
proposal will take place at the Board of Directors
meeting during the NAR Midyear meetings. In
preparation for this vote, CAR sent out an online
survey on Friday, April 8 to every REALTOR® member
in Connecticut. A survey reminder will be emailed
on Friday, April 22 only to those members who have
not responded to the survey. Your feedback does
matter! Please respond to the two question survey
no later than Friday, April 29 so
that CAR may compile the results and share them
with the CT NAR Directors before they head to the
NAR Midyear meetings the week of May 9 where they
will be voting on this issue.
