Donna DiMaggio Berger of Florida’s CAN HOA advocacy group wrote about the increasing numbers of board members seeking to be educated in HOA matters and in the affairs of HOA-Land (Do most Condo & HOA Directors want to be educated?). I agree with Donna that these private government officials need to be educated, because unlike pubic government officials there is no long term infrastructure or institutional culture to guide them.
Neither are there the penalties against wrong-doing as we have with laws holding public officials accountable. Yes, not only must these private officials be properly educated, but be held accountable, too. But, accountability is not discussed.
Sadly, in regard to the educational materials, the pro-HOA believers and groups ignore the fact that the “teachings” are really indoctrination courses into how to behave in HOA-Land under its unconscionable and oppressive adhesion contract, supported by pro-HOA laws and top-down UCIOA covenants. The materials flow from the pseudo-educator, the national lobbying trade group, which seeks to maintain the inequities of the HOA legal scheme. They teach “how to behave as a good HOA member and avoid financial and emotional stress, and the good chance of losing your home if disobedient.” And that is, is to follow the rules and to participate under procedures that thwart participation by “outsiders.”
There is no presentation of constitutional issues, of 14th Amendment violations, of the fallacies in the “consent to agree” argument, of no clean elections laws or of unacceptable due process procedures as a few examples. Not even a discussion of the validity of my Truth in HOAs Disclosure Agreement argument. Not even an invitation for attendees to proclaim their US citizenship status by signing the Declaration of US and State Citizenship form.
And why not? Why aren’t these issue made public and taught by the great HOA educators? Maybe, just maybe, as Col. Jessup shouted out in the movie, A Few Good Men, “You can’t handle the truth!” Why are they afraid of the truth?
