So I get a letter from the HOA telling me I need to submit my Ron Paul sign for approval from the landscape commitee.

Buy your own land then....you're barking up a gaping asshole.

I think it probably does fall under your civil right to free speech. But to prove it you would have to bring an expensive lawsuit.

Still, you could "try" it in the press for free. Might scare them into being reasonable about this.

Look up Dean Clifford on YouTube.

Just put his dirty diapers on your lawn same difference.

The owner of your unit should respond to the HOA and ask what CCR violation they are referring to. Most HOA's dont allow any signs of any kind. Some HOA's are hardcore with the restrictions and rules.

homeowners associations can be real dicks
some times.

I had a friend of mine who was in one
and he wanted to put up a white picket fence
around the pool in his backyard so his
pervert neighbor couldn't jerk off to
his wife getting a tan by the pool.

my friend lost the battle with the HOA
and then sued them over it and lost again
in court. After losing $50K in lawyer fees
for a losing cause, he sold his property
and moved away.

I would never buy a house in a hoa, I understand lots of soccer moms like that shit, but you are getting a really bad deal buying your hoa a HOUSE. If you are going to buy these control freaks a house, why not buy a house for a homeless person.

TAPE THE SIGN INSIDE YOU FRONT WINDOWS....IF YOU HAVE A STORM GLASS DOOR ON YOUR FRONT DOOR...TAPE THE SIGN ON THE GLASS OF THE FRONT STORM DOOR....HOME FREE NO CITY CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO HANG ON YOUR WINDOWS INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!

you have to be wiser than the serpent and as harmless as a dove!

An HOA can tell you what can show on the outside of your windows and doors.

Give someone a little authority and they go ape shit.= HOA

Oh, now you HAVE to figure out some way to post your sign. Shout "Ron Paul 2012" or "End the FED" from your rooftops with a megaphone if they don't let you have the sign. Turn everything upside down!

I like it.

Political signs and campaigning are protected under the 1st Amendment. HOAs do not trump the Constitution.
