THANK YOU FOR TAKING ACTION TO STOP PATENT TROLLS!
More than 152,000 REALTORSŪ-16 percent of all members-responded to the REALTORŪ Party's most recent Call for Action, asking Congress to stop patent trolls and protect our industry from frivolous lawsuits. Thirty states and two territories broke through the 20 percent mark! This has been one of the most successful Calls for Action in NAR history.
