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.

HOA Advocacy is fighting for a cause

I am disheartened by what I have increasingly seen on several social media HOA reform groups. It amounts to, in my view, passing on misinformation to others when links to articles and posts elsewhere are re-posted with, it appears, only superficial review.

When I delve deeper into these reposts I look for who or what group is posting, their background, and factual content.  Not to my surprise, many times I see CAI affiliations and or a business links in support of the HOA pretending to  help the homeowner. But the average viewer is not made aware of these relationships opposed to advocate  reforms.

I can only guess that the forwarders just want to inform others and let them make up their own minds. That is not what advocacy is all about!  Advocacy is not playing judge to give the impression of being fair to avoid criticism. Advocacy is fighting for a cause and requires commitment confronting the opposition as entrenched as it may be.

Passing on links and articles without due diligence will hurt the social media groups in the long run.
