The battle for HOA Constitutional Government – supplement

It should be well understood that the real purpose for HOA reform legislation is to seek homeowner-member justice and fairness. Either with respect to day-to-day denied under the HOA legal scheme, as set forth in the Declarations of CC&Rs and state laws. 

To be more specific, these rights affect free speech, participation in HOA government, fair elections procedures, due process with respect to fines and punishments including foreclosure abuse, and an effective means to hold the board accountable under the law. In other words, challenging the validity and constitutionality of the HOA legal structure.

Over the past year I have noticed a favorable increase  in legislation and in court decisions as a result of increased claims by homeowners and advocates who, by their actions, are winning with the winners.  What is there to fear? Reforms have moved at a turtle’s pace over the past 30 years. Nothing to lose by taking a strong stand backed by legal authority.

“There can be no change without change”

Encourage others to take a strong stand by providing authoritative support to win with the winners, as can be found in HOA Constitutional Government: the continuing battle. My Collective Writings over 24 years.  Spread the word to others to act without fear.

standing up for HOA reform legislation

The publication on Amazon of my paperback Collected Writings (for Kindle version) is the latest in my long-term plan and strategy to achieve HOA reforms across the country. An opportunity exists for seriously motivated owners and advocates to come to the aid of the HOA reform movement on a national scale, and call attention to the invalid HOA legal scheme.

It’s simple: put your $$$$ where your mouth is.  By purchasing Collected Writings on a national scale on a leading international website, Amazon, our outcry for reforms can no longer be denied. You can purchase for others, or for a group of others. Amazon will not permit price discounts for these books.

An unworkable alternative at this time would be to set side a percentage of the profits into a nonprofit account to be used to support statewide lobbying of selected reform bills. But this would require substantial purchasers/donators in the order of 10,000 or more.

For those who do purchase these important issues, all presented in one collection, you can write and submit an Amazon review —  no charge.

Of course, there will be a few who will claim  that he’s just looking to make some money. Over my 22+ years  I have received minuscule payments after spending some $10,000 of my own funds.
