Will your vote even
--- count in 2008?
"Uncounted"
the new math of American elections, is a new film uncovering the
truth about voter fraud in past elections... including sworn testimony
from a man who said that he wrote a program to alter election results
for Florida Congressman Tom Feeney. Wonder why?
Wonder why there were 180,000 uncounted votes in Florida in the last
election? Are we a free and democratic country if our ability to
legitimately elect our leaders is taken away from us?
Build your financial
freedom the easy way... build equity faster... OR ...get debt and mortgage free
years faster with no change in lifestyle. United First
Financial's Money Merge Account is taking the country by storm...

& EDITORS CHOICE AWARD
...Personal Real Estate Investor magazine
"The cash flow is really growing daily. I am on track, in the next 12
months, to earn more with this than my best year in Real Estate! Not too
tough to take in this down market.
The great thing is... You don't have to leave the business you are in.
This is just a wonderful value added service to HELP your existing
client base. They are dying to hear positive news from someone, why not
have that be you?"
...Rick Lamb, Commercial RE Agent - Keller Williams &
United First Financial Branch Manager & Indep Agent

through this program is crazy. My clients keep asking me 'why hasn't
anyone told me about this before?' ...this program has created a
referral brush fire for me."
...Scott Schaffer, Mortgage Broker
"I have never personally or publicly endorsed any product. However, I'm
endorsing this one... it's the real deal."

Looking at “The Big Picture”
...7-9:30PM
Set Mondays (see
below) at....
Panera Bread, Community Room
200 South SR 434 in Altamonte Springs
A realistic (and truthful) view of Real Estate Investing for those
new to, or perplexed by, the subject. Lord knows there’s enough
educational “stuff” being sold on the topic to drain the life out of
most of us. The advertising presentations can sometimes be quite
misleading, and asking other Newbies is the exact definition of “the
blind leading the blind”. Of course we don’t have to buy EVERYTHING
that comes along, but what should we be looking for? The answer
depends on what each of us seeks to accomplish.
- We examine and discuss this entire topic/subject from a “Big
Picture” perspective so that the Newbie Investor can make a more
intelligent decision as to pursuing and investing in their own
education. Don’t be bamboozled. Get the full overview from folks who
know. THEN decide.
- Meeting once a month on Monday evenings at the Denny’s at 4650 W
State Road 46 - Sanford 32771 (just off I-4, 101 exits), from 7:00
p.m. to 9:30 & beyond (open 24 hours). Next meet Nov 19th.
Click http://inv201.com for complete info
FREE - you just get your own check. Plan on spending at least
$5 to $10 at Panera though... they are in business too!
