The National Association of Realtors has mobilized - are they lobbying for YOUR best interests?

Paper Economy - A US Real Estate Bubble Blog: Capitol Appeal!: "The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently produced an email campaign that seeks to harness its legions of member Realtors specifically to urge congress to include the conforming loan limit provision of the economic stimulus package.

Not only has the “temporary” increase to the conforming loan limit been approved by the house, influential representatives are now calling for the conforming loan limit increase to become permanent."

Please click the link, read the argument, and take a moment to let your legislators know how you feel. If we want to live in a representative democracy, we have to hold our elected officials accountable to the electorate (I guarantee the lobbyists are holding them accountable). Voters have more power than lobbyists, if we choose to exercise it.

The National Association of Realtor NEVER lobby's in the best interest of the public. In fact they send Realtors mass emails to stand up and to go to DC to fight for the Realtor Best Interest.
