Your Voice Counts by Tony Alvarez

Here's a great commentary by my friend Tony. It's followed at the bottom by an opportunity to let your voice be heard via anonymous polls by Fox & CBS News. Once you take the poll, you see the results of other voters. I was surprised.

YOUR VOICE COUNTS!

I know you guys think I'm all about real estate, but I also have some very strong opinions about other things as well. Recently, I was having a conversation about the political changes that our country is going through and its effects on real estate and finance.

My friend responded with "I don't wanna think about any of that stuff 'cause I can't do anything about it." It's a sad moment in our country when an American citizen has reached the conclusion, in their own HEART AND MIND, where they sincerely believe that they have absolutely no power over their own destiny. And that opinion is absolute hogwash and definitely the most un-American statement I have ever heard.

This is the same fear based thinking that leads to inaction in our investment lives. The only thing YOU have to do to SQUASH those fear based thoughts is to get off your butt and TAKE ACTION!  Voice your opinion regardless of what you imagine the consequences will be.

If I have any agenda, it is to FREE YOUR MIND and remind you that, as with anything that you feel strongly about pursuing, it is always within your power to make it happen for yourself.  Regardless of your political views, here's a chance to let your voice be heard. It takes less than 15 seconds, yet the moment that you do it, you'll be quickly reminded of what it feels like to be an American. We "still" have the right to enjoy the freedom of giving a voice to our heartfelt opinions. For god sakes, EXERCISE IT!  Take some action. Voice your opinion. Email everyone you know and tell them what you think. Get involved! You just might find that you can, in fact, make a huge difference. If nothing else, you will know you have done the best you can possibly do. And that's as much as anybody could ever ask of you.

Our right to choose and take action is the most valuable asset that we, as individual human beings, posses. And especially as Americans, historically, we have paid and continue to pay a tremendously high price to hold onto that freedom. It has never been our way to go quietly into the night. Use it or loose it - it's YOUR CHOICE!

Love,

Uncle Tony
