We understand summer is ending and everyone is busy. But we need to get more support for the bills going through the House and the Senate to support the repeal of rule 151A. While this situation has the potential to radically impair the effective independent distribution of fixed annuities, in the end, excessive or unnecessary regulation harms consumers the most.

TELL US YOUR STORIES - We are collecting real stories from agents who sell fixed annuities – indexed, declared rate and immediate – to publish in a NAFA booklet for distribution to members of Congress, state regulators and the media. This has been shown to be very effective, so we will bring them more!

SEND YOUR STORIES! Please keep stories between 25 and 150 words and send them to insurmark@insurmark.net, fax them to 713.973.5252, or click on the button above.

1. Tell us about clients you’ve helped and how, the financial need the fixed annuity addressed, also the suitability of the fixed annuity and why it was suitable.

2. Tell us how fixed annuities made a difference to a client, heir, retiree, someone planning retirement, charity. What does having the fixed annuity mean to them or what they believe may have happened if they didn’t have the annuity?

3. Tell us about yourself – how long you’ve been in the industry, your full name and business name, your business address, your contact information, and why you sell fixed annuities.
