My Homeowner association requesting Ron Paul yard signs be taken down!!!

[Crickett]

Besides other suggestions like car, window, etc. notice that your CURRENT board "has decided" to interpret the rules to mean no temporary political signs. I think you could maybe ask for a hearing in front of them, on this issue if you wanted to, but I definitely would attempt to become active there, and get on the board if you do not want to move. We must infiltrate from the bottom up, and just think how many people you may influence--especially if they let you do a
hearing, and you give a passionate speech about how RP will save America and the economy and that is why, as a patriot , you just really want to put the temporary sign there..

2 words: Private property.

2 more words: Civil disobedience.

Bad advice. A private property may be subject to more than one private owner and in this case the association has rights to the private property that restrict some of the homeowner's rights. Also, civil disobedience is an act against a government. An association is not a government. It is an private group of people associated for a common purpose. Don't forget that the First Amendment not only protects free speech but also protects freedom of association. In this case, the homeowner entered into a contract (no one put a gun to his head and forced him to do so) with the association that he would abide by their bylaws in exchange for living within the association. If the homeowner doesn't like the bylaws, then the homeowner can leave and sell his property.

I'm currently in a legal battle with my HOA... basically, you have to prove that they aren't enforcing their covenants in a similar manner to all home owners.

You should really get on board with the Home Owners Bill of Rights (read more here: http://www.ahrc.com/new/index.php/src/resources/sub/billrights).

HOA's are the anti-christ... if I had known what I know now when I bought this house, I would have told them to shove those covenants up their @ss.

Just get a decal for your car like this!. I bought mine on ebay for $39.00 Shipped.

 

[UtahApocalypse]

tell them to fuck off, and do what you want too, think about it there is nothing they can do about it !!

Take his house they can.

You can deliver a flyer to everyones mailbox explaining that you have taken down your sign for Ron Paul because of a neighbours complaint.

Be sure to detail Ron Pauls platform in your flyer..WHY it is so important to communicate Dr. Pauls message.
Perhaps you could organize an informal meeting to get your message out.

I would particularly outline the media blackout.

good luck

These associations are run like nazi camps.

Do they have rules about what you can put in your windows?

How about shining a light on a sign inside your house's windows somehow?

I've got a sign in my condo's window. The condo's under the rules of a "Homeowner's ASSociation"

At night I use a light with a reflector on it to shine the rays through the sign. It lights up "Ron Paul For President".

I tried to take pics the other night. I'll check em out and post one.

The system sucks.. Where is the freedom of expression ? You can't even put up a sign who you support where you live because of a stupid association..

Communism


.

No one has to live in a deed restricted communit or is ever forced to buy in one.. Those who choose them, typically like the uncluttered look that you get with such rules. There are plenty of homes for sale in undeeded areas.


The sign is not worth the fine.

I keep a car out with RP signage on it and in the windows. My HOA reps are hawks with signage, yet they have said zippo about the car.

Besides, I canvased my area so everyone who drives by my street knows who he is now anyway, and I have RP signs on the roads just outside of my sub division.

I also put slim jims up at the Community Centers bulletine board.

There are plenty of ways to get the name and message out in your neighborhood without a sign in your yard.

It seems to me the worst that could happen is them taking you to court. They might win and you might have to take the sign down and pay their legal expenses, but by then, the primary might be over. You might have some pissed off neighbors too. I guess it depends on how much you think they'd push it and your perception of the risks.

They can actually take your home for breaking the deed agreement if you do not comply.

I almost bought some land last year, but after reading that I wouldn't be allowed to build whatever kind of house I wanted on the land, I declined. Reason being, if I built the kind of house I wanted, they could have taken the land back, and my home, just because it was in violation of the initial contract of the deed agreement.

This is why it sucks buying deeded land, you are obligated to adhering to whatever is set forth in the deed.

Most deeds renew every 15 years or so, with a vote by the homeowners in the area. If you can get enough homeowners to disagree with a rule, chances are, you can get the rule changed at that time.

This is where libertarianism and myself separate.

I happen to believe that my Rights are inalienable. They can't be taken, bartered, stolen, signed away or compromised.

As far as I'm concerned these Homeowners Associations can kiss my butt.

Dude, when you buy a house, freedom of choice, in a HOA, you agree to that... NO one says you have a right to buy any property you want, and have everything around you conform to you...

Ron Pauls message is all about local government, a HOA is the most Local you can get, its people agreeing what they want in their neghborhod.

The key here is no one is forcing you to live in a HOA... there is nothing communistic about a HOA becuase you are not FORCED to live in one


you live their by choice, I don't like mine either, but the benifits of my house outweight the negative of living in a HOA.

 

[JohnnyWrath]

Not worth fighting it...

Take the sign, and a few more if possible, and place it/them on a highway where far far more people will see it. This way the sign will actually be seen more, and you won't be annoying the HOA.

Here are some pics of my lit sign setup. It's hard to see how bright it really is from the outside, but the words are completely lit up.

[camped69]

"For Sale-United States
Vote Ron Paul 08"

 

[free.alive]

don't you own your property?

 

[free.alive]

keep the sign up,don't pay any fines. Claim your rights to your property. No one, even local government has the right to tell you what to do with your property.

 

[evadmurd]

That's what homeowners associations are for. Live & learn.

 

[Redcard]

keep the sign up,don't pay any fines. Claim your rights to your property. No one, even local government has the right to tell you what to do with your property.

BAD advice.

They can take your house, depending on the covenant agreements. REALLY bad advice.
