I would vote for anybody who is not a lawyer or a lifelong politician.
As for the groping - I wonder how many of those getting groped were batting their eyelashes and squeezing his biceps at the same time? Oh, grow up ladies!!!
As for HOA's and politics the bottom line is this:
THE GREATER CRIME is that not many politicians have the guts or desire to turn down thousands of dollars in campaign contributions coming from the HOA industry. Let's face it - they are driven by money and will sell their souls for political dollars
It is up to the homeowner advocates of America to spread the word. Whether by voice, voice mail, email, snail mail or flyers - get the word out to current and prospective homebuyers. Hit the industry (the realtors) in the wallet and see how quickly they change sides. It is already happening. Refuse to buy into HOA housing.
The dollar values in our families 40 year old neighborhood which is NON-HOA have gone up considerably because home buyers are demanding NON-HOA. The realtors are loving it because they say there is less liability in purchasing NON-HOA housing because of the lack of CCR's.
Homeowners are seeking traditional housing (single family homes) with real yards (not a sod patch) and driveways you can actually play basketball in without getting fined.
I remain,
Non-HOA Homeowner

I don't live in California. I Live in Nevada. It does not really matter who is in office in California though and I really don't think justice is encompased by any political party. The problem is the theft of peoples homes by HOAs. HOAs do not increase property values, they distroy peoples lives.
Homeowners did not need them for thousands of years and they don't need them now. These HOAs were manufactured as a marketing scheme by attorneys for developers in collusion with attorneys for insurance companies and attorneys who were elected to office to serve the interests of attorneys.
In no case can I ever believe forclosure is justified by any HOA over non-compliance with some petty 'Rule' adopted by the neighbors. Just one horror story is one too many and there are thousands of them--the problem is national, not local.
Good fences make good neighbors, not CC&Rs. This country needs a grass roots campaign to profoundly restrict the powers of HOA Boards so that their hired thug lawyers do not have the chance to continue the plunder. Criminal penalties with enforcement is needed against Board Members who violate the homeowners civil rights.
My HOA has broken every Nevada law regulating them I can think of--but there is no real enforcement of any these laws. The only resource for the homeowner is to sue: but anyone can sue! All you need is lots of money for lawyers--nothing else. Who ever wins the election in California is meaningless--none of the candidates is running against the Tyrany of HOAs and none of the candidates will do anything about the issue unless they are forced too. The issue needs the attention of the federal government.
Everyone in HOAs: start writing your elected representatives and start demanding your property rights be returned to you--the homeowner.
Write today!

It is time newspapers like the Los Angeles Times start printing the true secrets of California politics instead of the dirt they drag up on someone who might help the people of California.
I have taken every opportunity to listen to the news coverage on this election and I am amazed that no where, at any time, was there a mention of the home foreclosures in California. I am beginning to think this is our "dirty little secret" and it is something I am part of.
Maybe I should call the Los Angeles Times and tell them how many times I have been "raped" by Allied Trustees. Maybe they would like to know how many times my pockets have been "groped" by two different Association Management Companies.
I would like to see any news media in California take a stand against the Davis-Stirling Act, Gray Davis, CAI, or CLAC. They won't do it though. Maybe because, they too, are part of the "special interests" everyone keeps speaking about.

AGAINST RECALL!
It is one thing to provide a forum for HOA news, problems-- solutions-- free advirtisement for the Republican party is wrong,
The job now is to effect change in HOA's-- and recalling Grey Davis is not how to do that.

What seems to have been forgotten is that the Davis Sterling Act was passed into law under a Conservative Republican govenor.
Arnold has not answered questions about how he will address any of California's problems except in the most vague and general way. Despite this, people seem willing to elect him while ignoring the fact that he's never held any public office, only votes now and then, and apparently sometimes boorish with women. His two claims to fame is that he is a movie star and he isn't Gray Davis. Hardly sufficient criteria to hold California's highest elective office.
The voters who will happily carry Arnold in on their shoulders will no doubt be surprised next March or April when he announces that reluctantly, he has to raise taxes (but he'll spend the money better than Davis, so it will be OK).
It won't surprise me in the least.

Associated Press reporter Don Thompson reported::
On Sunday, Davis demanded that Schwarzenegger give a full explanation of the allegations before Tuesday's vote, and Attorney General Bill Lockyer, a Democrat, said the Republican actor should volunteer for a state investigation whether or not he is elected governor.
Lockyer also noted the one-year statute of limitations for sexual battery has expired on all the complaints.
Attorney Genera Bill Lockyer(D) and Governor Gray Davis (D) have been on the public's payroll for over 20 years. Previously, as Sacramento lawmakers they worked closely with the lawsuit industry writing homeowner association foreclosure laws to transfer home equity into lawyer fees.
Later Davis moved to the governor's mansion and Lockyer took the Attorney General's office. Both continued to use their offices to protect the association collection lawyers who scammed California homeowners.
Both are now working together to keep Calfornians under their wicked foreclosure thumb!

I went to the beauty shop and talked to all my friends.. All the people here are voting for Arnold.
They said Gray Davis was taking calls on a TV show yesterday, and my husband said he was calling the show to ask Gray Davis how much he got from Peters and Freedman.
We don't want Gray Davis. He has done so many bad things to us. We are all so worried with all the money we have lost and Peters & Freedman have been trying to take all our homes.
