I have to agree. I have had many a run-in with HOA's over my life and they never lose. The only recourse you think you have is to stop paying the assessment. Then they lien your house and chg you big time to release the lien after you realize you have no power and pay the back-assessment.
Its really unbelievable. I contacted an attorney and explained the whole situation and he goes "there is absolutely nothing you can do. Pay the assessment and the fines and dont mess with them anymore".
as i hear and read all the crazy stuff going on..be glad they don't allow it..i think one would have to be a fool putting anything in their yard backing either candidate...or even on their car...little old lady that lives out here came to my door last week and told me her car got keyed...and blamed it on her bumper sticker..i think it may have been due to the fact that she can't drive and parks in 2 spaces many times...but who knows?
we also have rules about political signs/flags etc..best not to rock the boat and just live in harmony...we had someone put up american flag for independence day and we did not say nothing and the next week someone put up a rebel flag and the trouble started...associations (at least ours) try to be fair and to be fair you just don't allow some things,that may lead to trouble..

The dude highlighted the rules:
I think you should read the first two words as "no signs", period.
Seriously E - they don't allow it here in our townhome HOA either.
I just put a good sized Obama sticker on the back window and tailgate of my truck, but that's the only run I can give without incurring the wrath of the HOA Nazis.
We've been renting here for three years now and I have to fend off a letter every couple months from the HOA attorney if I don't put a tarp over the back of my truck to conceal my lawn mowers and gardening gear.
Lord knows we don't want evidence of a true workin' man in our hood.

But this would be Ok around Halloween in these parts (crap everywhere in my hood)
Ron Havens, who lives near Odessa, knew his Halloween display of the presidential candidates -- Barack Obama being chased by a Klan-hooded John McCain -- would stir up controversy. Havens said the display is his way of protesting McCain's treatment of Obama
