PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,

Please, please consider signing the petition to restore Constitutional law to our private neighborhoods, HOAs, CIDs, POAs.  This is not a radical petition. It’s only a request that our federal government allow homeowners access to Constitutional rights that they inadvertantly signed away while signing their mortgage papers.

As stated before in the blog, George Staropoli’s petition is not radical, it’s only common sense. Protect your rights. Restore your rights. Please read George’s letter COPIED below.

=  =  =  =  =  =

From George Staropoli:
To the national advocate leadership:
Thanks for your efforts, now and in the past.  This petition is for  all of us!
We need only 150 signatures in order to have the petition appear on the We  the People website for all to see.   The turnout is  dismal.  Once we get on the site we can then expect a large response from  those truly concerned about the state of our Constitution.
I need your help to get to those 150 petitions.  Please urge the  people on your lists to get busy and sign the petition.  Tell them in your  own words why we must get the FEDS’ attention.  This is not  democrat/republican or conservative/liberal!  This our American system  of constitutional government created by the Founding Fathers without reference  to any political party!  This support from Washington is a legitimate  function of our Federal government, especially since the long history of state  legislative failures to uphold the Constitution demands federal  intervention.
We only have 30 days to get to 25,000 petitions, otherwise we have lost a  very important inroad to Washington and the national scene.  And CAI will  be laughing its ass off if we fail.  It is extremely important that you,  the national leadership, urge support for the petition.
Please pass this on to others.

You’re STOOPID To Buy An HOA Home In Nevada!

The Bank of America lawsuit against dozens of Nevada Homeowners Associations chugs onward. Earlier this Fall, B of A filed a federal lawsuit claiming that HOAs were illegally charging excessive collection fees and arbitrary fines against homeowners who committed minor infractions of HOA rules and covenants.

In one such case, a family in North Las Vegas moved out of their home and attempted to short sell it through the Bank of America. But the HOA in question decided the home in question had too many pine needles and weeds on the property, and they filed a lien against the home. Although the initial fine was only a few hundred dollars, the HOA dramatically escalated its fines and costs to more than $16,500. That made the home virtually unsaleable.

Rent out your Las Vegas Home, go to Jail

Rent out your HOA Home, Go to Jail

So you thought your HOA home was such a sweet investment. After all, if you had to move to a smaller home in this economy, you could always rent out the HOA home to help pay the mortgage couldn’t you, Bunky?

After all, that’s an age-old way of diversifying an invesment and keeping its value high during a recession.

But many  HOAs are deciding that HOA rentals are cheapening the neighborhood so they’re arbitrarily passing rule that say, “You bought it, now live in it, damn it!”

Nevada State Senator Upset at Blogger Coverage Of “Suicides”

Nebraska Senator Mike Schneider is asking the governor to call a special session of the legislature to pass new laws against Homeowner Association fraud. He says he’s been reading a blog on the Las Vegas scandal and he doesn’t like the kind of comments being made about suicides committed by suspects indicted in the HOA scandal. (Hmmm, I wonder which blog he’s talking about!)

Prominent Las Vegas HOA Figure Found Dead

Nancy Quon, the attorney at the center of a Homeowner Association scandal in Las Vegas, has been found dead in her bathtub. Quon had been accused in an HOA construction defect litigation scandal that took in more than a hundred million dollars from insurance companies that represented Homeowner Associations in Nevada.

The FBI has been investigating up to a hundred Homeowner Associations in the Las Vegas area, and has staged several raids on the offices of HOAs and HOA management companies. The scandal has been in the hands of at least three federal grand juries over the past three years. At least ten prominent figures in the investigation have pleaded guilty to a variety of charges over the past five months.
