Rob, I cannot thank you enough for your passion for the truth and helping Realtors. I am thankful you recognize the importance of my story - being accused of "Hate Speech" for posting Bible verses on my social media accounts. My NAR/VAR Ethics Hearing is Wednesday, Dec.4, 2024. Unfortunately, I, too, am a victim of anti-Christian bias, bigotry, and targeting because of my religious views and expression.
I am confident many others across our great land are also victims of this vicious assault on freedom of speech and freedom of religious expression. Many of these victims have already contacted me. I want the world to know what is happening inside the National Association of REALTORS that has instilled fear in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Realtors in America. For some, the fear stems from a Facebook post or other social media post made years ago. Others are fearful because they asked a simple question regarding DEI in an association meeting or a church meeting, or they expressed their legitimate concerns about pornographic books in their local elementary school library. Some have expressed concerns about the National of REALTORS offering full support of the LGBTQ agenda, which OFFENDS them. Others have raised questions about why NAR is helping fund Drag Queen Shows in our local communities.
NO REALTOR should have to live in fear of an Ethics Hearing for their faith or values. I am very concerned that so many Realtors are now living in distress because of the deeply flawed "10-5" NAR Code of Ethics adopted in 2020. It is egregious that compassionate, hard-working, unbiased Realtors are under such tremendous duress and speech control that has been inflicted upon them by their trade organization.
"10-5" must be repealed, and the NAR must be held accountable for the harm they have caused in the lives and careers that have been ruined under this horrible "Hate Speech" Code of Ethics.
Again, thank you, Rob; you are a scholar, a gentleman, and a strong advocate for all Realtors.
Through your profound understanding, insight, and exposure to this sad story, Americans and the international community are discovering what has been chiefly kept hidden for the past four years. Keep up the great work, Rob!

Hello John. Indeed, since you are not a REALTOR, you are relatively safe writing; God bless you. That pesky 10-5 paragraph in the NAR Code of Ethics has a way of popping up in the strangest places! Thank you, sir. God bless you. Wilson

Since I'm not a REALTOR, that means I can say God bless you without fear of being accused of violating 10-5.
