Osceola ReVIEW - August 2008 - (Page 14) President’s Perspective. Continued from Page 4. behalf of 5 champions of REALTORS® who were locked in toss-up elections, and amazingly all won! RPAC continued its bipartisan tradition, contributing 53% of its funds to Republicans and 47% to Democrats, which closely tracks the current makeup of Congress. RPAC was on the winning side of 97% of the 439 congressional and senate races we contributed to. Who establishes and implements RPAC policy? Much of RPAC's success is due to the high degree of organization that characterizes the REALTORS® Political Action Committee at every level. Leading the National RPAC organization are the National RPAC Trustees. The Trustees establish and implement RPAC policy in accordance with the RPAC bylaws and NAR policy as established by the NAR Board of Directors. The Trustees are made up of REALTOR® volunteers from around the nation who are appointed by NAR leadership. Who may be solicited for RPAC contributions? According to federal election law, RPAC can solicit only individual members -- i.e., non-corporate members of NAR and their families. The term "members" means all individuals who currently satisfy the requirements for membership in any one of the local, state, and/or the National Association and regularly pay dues. Executive, administrative and management personnel of the local, state and/or national associations are also considered under the NAR constitution to be members of the association and are solicitable even though they may not pay association dues. Are contributions to RPAC tax deductible? No. Contributions used for political purposes are not tax deductible on your federal income taxes. Does the National RPAC contribute to state or local candidates? Under the cooperative agreements in effect1between 2 the 1 2 National RPAC and the state association's Political Action How does RPAC establish fundraising goals?
