How Do I Get The Developer To Perform Maintenance On Our Condo Complex?

The common areas foilage is dying. the onsite waste treatment plant is not being maintained, the stench of sewage fills the air.

September 8, 2009

by Brent
Website: AHRC News
We live in a condo complex in Kona, Hawaii under a developers control. We pay about $260.00 a month in maintenance fees. Yet month by month less gets done. The common areas foilage is dying due to lack of watering. The onsite waste treatment plant is not being maintained and the stench of sewage fills the air. After numerous calls to the developer's "Contact" person, and to the management company nothing gets done. The developers says they can't afford a board or a property manager. Does anyone know what we can do now? We as well as other owners are at our wits end!!!

How can we get Colorado to see about using state money to fix infrastructure - roads, sewer, water- in homeowner associations, like Pennsylvania?

Our Colorado HOA is like a drunken father drinking up the grocery money and beating the children when they are hungry

Pennsylvania Representative Siptroth attempt to find out what would happen if state money were used to fix infrastructure -- roads, sewer, water -- in private communities. How can we get Colorado to take the same steps Pennsylvania has done? Our homeowner association is like a drunken father drinking up the grocery money and beating the children when they are hungry.

Our homeowners association intimidates owners, conceals finances, keep raising dues, and refuses to provide services

The same lady has run it for 20 years - how can we change the situation?

September 8, 2009

by Janet Forsythe
Website: AHRC News
Our homeowner association, run by the same lady for 20 years and a board that intimidates the owners, conceals finances, keep raising dues, and refuses to provide services. I have lived here 9 years and the homeowner association fees have doublled since I first moved here and continue to be raised. Most of the owners have rented thier condos to HUD and anyone they can. We have no voice in contracts and never recieve receipts etc. Meetings are held in board presidents' homes where intimidation is stressed,forceing home owners to "give up" and accept the rules they put forth. Several new owners are trying to obtain contracts, bank statements etc. We are unable to collect proof of services rendered - which is very little. What can we do? The homeowners who , like me cannot afford to relocate are stuck paying the high fees and we don't don't stand a chance at getting on the board when it is time to vote. How do we get rid of this situation?

U.S. LEADS THE WORLD IN FOREIGN ARMS SALES IN 2008

Congressional Research Service Reports Most Sales Go to Developing Countries

September 7, 2009

by Will Farrar
Website: AHRC News
There is no recession for the U.S. in the foreign arms sales market according to figures released on Frday by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, a division of the Library of Congress. In fact, there is a boom. In 2007, U.S. arms sales overseas were $25.4 billion. In 2008, they were $37.8 billion - an almost 50% increase. This came despite a drop in total sales worldwide to $55.2 billi...

FRAUD MADE IN THE U.S.A. - PART 13

The Wall Street Addiction: Latest Scheme - Securitizing Death

September 7, 2009

by Kevin McAllister
Website: AHRC News
Without the blink of an eye or without missing a step, the denizens of Wall Street are seeking to make billions out of death - yes, death. More politely, they have moved big time into the "life settlement" business. They buy life insurance policies from people who hold them. For example, if you have a $2 million life insurance policy, you might want to cash out now. A life settlement company such as Coventry - currently being sued by the State of New York for alleged bid-rigging - might come along and offer you a million, depending on what your situation was. If you look as if you are going to die soon, they might offer you more. If you look as if you will be around for the next 30 years, they might offer less. When the life settlement company buys your policy, it will pay your premiums, and when you die, it will receive $2 million, the value of the life insurance policy.

PHONY AHRC.COM WEBSITE?

"You're right, there are lots of 'donation' links scattered throughout Michael Edward Keith websites, and little-to-no useful content of any kind"

September 6, 2009

by GLV
Website: AHRC News
NOTE TO AHRC: Michael-Edward Keith sent me an email promoting a site called www.americansrestoringamerica.com. No idea how he got my email. Then I googled him and found your warning page... Keith seems to call the whole thing 'Statewide Communications,' and you're right, there are lots of 'donation' links scattered throughout his sites. Contrarily, there is little-to-no useful content of any kind located on those same sites. Seems to be preying on Ron Paul supporters, Libertarians, and Constitutionalists as well. (If any of that helps.) AHRC RESPONSE: Michael Edward KeitH does not own ahrc.com or ahrc.se. Neither ahrc.com or ahrc.se has any relationship with Michael Edward Keith. He has been trying to create a knock-off on ahrc.com using the graphics, text and format he stole from the AHRC.com website to mislead homeowners and the public to secure donations.

Blackwater's Unwritten Death Contracts: A perverted form of liberty only for themselves and their own kind

September 5, 2009

by Lee Lambert
Website: AHRC News
It is no surprise that evil prospers a under a form of government that began with the selfish intentions of hypocritical gangster 'idealists' who wanted a perverted form of Liberty only for themselves and their own kind. Politicians under that scheme have proceeded for decades to refine the self-serving 'permissions' under which they authorize evil in the name of good! It is long overdue that we recognize that no standard but contradiction was ever the underpinning of the Constitution, and that it cannot be FIXED by any amendments under itself! It is also impractical to rewrite the Constitution. We must instead put a foundation BEFORE it that will measure all that is EVIL, WRONG, ILL ADVISED, or In conflict with REALITY!

No for-profit entity should be involved in health care

A Physician's Response to "Public Option" Opposition

September 5, 2009

by Stephen B. Chasko, M.D., J.D., F.C.A.P.
Website: AHRC News
Good health care is expensive. No for-profit entity should be involved in health care. Anyone who wishes to preserve this status quo is shooting themselves in the head. Mr. Metcalf and I agree on that. Where we disagree is on the solution. Turning the provision of health care over to the GOVERNMENT,

LA County Payments to LA Superior Court Judges Cost Taxpayers Almost 1 Billion Dollars and Denied Constitutional Rights to the People of LA County

January 7, 2009

by Richard I. Fine
Website: AHRC News
The commencement of the of unconstitutional payments by LA County to LA Superior Court judges was "unnoticeable" to the people of LA County in the late 1980s. Yet, its effect began to permeate the Los Angeles political and judicial systems to the extent that fundamental constitutional rights were compromised. Twenty years after the commencement of the payments, the political and judicial systems of LA County are rife with conflicts of interest, lack of disclosure and the failure to enforce constitutional rights and laws. A well traveled "money trail" exists from LA County who makes payments to LA Superior Court judges [present and past] who decide cases in favor of LA County. A second well traveled "money trail" exists from political contributors [many times "developers"] who give political contributions to LA Supervisors [who decide in their favor] who make LA County payments to LA Superior Court judges who decide cases in favor of LA County [and the developers who are co parties with LA County].

ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA JUDGES AND CAI FORECLOSURE LAWYERS WORK TO SHUT DOWN HOMEOWNERS' WEBSITE

The National Voice of American Homeowners Threatened with Extinction

Michael Kim....
What would you do if you and your husband were in the middle of fighting the good fight against the tyranny of your homeowners association, when your husband was suddenly hospitalized, and during his hospitalization, your homeowners association's CAI lawyer got a judge to summon your husband to court to pay the CAI lawyer a $5,000 sanction -- when the CAI lawyer knew full well that your husband could not attend his deposition because he was in the hospital?
