Background info on George K. Staropoli, Pres.
HOA-Land Nation Within America
"Public policy today rejects constitutional government for HOAs allowing them to operate outside the law of the land. The policy makers have failed to understand that the HOA CC&Rs have crossed over the line between purely property restrictions to establishing unregulated and authoritarian private governments."
“His knowledge is sophisticated . . . [Staropoli] has been able to articulate
the deficiencies and the pending bombshells contained in the Legislature’s
denial of the obvious: that the HOA system is badly broken and in desperate need of an overhaul.” |

HOA-Land Ethics for the Board:
"You can technically obey the law and still be at fault. That's ethics."
HOA member Declaration of US and State citizenship
-- Therefore, the members of the association, having not waived or
surrendered their rights, freedoms, privileges and immunities as citizens of the
United States under Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, and as citizens of
the state within which they reside, the CC&Rs or Declaration for any planned
community, condominium association or homeowners association shall state,
or be amended to comply, that,
The association hereby waives and surrenders
any rights or claims it may have under law and herewith unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees 1) to be bound by the US and State Constitutions, and laws of
the State within which it is located, as if it were a subdivision of the state
and a local public government entity, and 2) that constitutional law shall
prevail as the supreme law of the land including over conflicting laws and legal
doctrines of equitable servitudes.

"If there is no penalty [for] disobedience,
the resolutions or commands which pretend to be laws will, in fact, amount to nothing more than advice or recommendation."

"If angels were to govern men, neither
external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." James Madison, The FederaliThe Federalist papers, # 51. And even more so for
private HOA governments.
"If we are to make progress, we must distinguish the
concept of a planned community, which is a real estate "package" of homes,
landscaping, amenities, and rules, from that of the HOA, which is the

Citizens for Constitutional Local Government (CCLG) believes that HOAs are independent, undemocratic, private
governments operating outside the American system of government. If we are to
make progress, we must distinguish the concept of a planned community, which is
a real estate "package" of homes, landscaping, amenities, and rules,
from that of the HOA, which is the governing body of the planned community.
Only when the HOA is a truly democratic government and no longer an
independent, private government will there be equality for all citizens.

"I get one email a week from homeowners", he
said, "I have to tell them that under current law and statute, nonprofit
corporations and HOAs have their own powers and there is no bill of rights to
protect us as citizens."
