Chesno Freedom! (aka Screw you HOA!)

My three readers will remember from last month when I spoke of the home owner's association Commies I had to deal with in Albuquerque that wouldn't let me put a flag pole up on my property.

Turns out I am not the only one who has had this problem. Evidently, enough people have been placed under the boot of their respective associations that legislation has drafted and passed. All it needs now is the President's signature.

CJ at http://www.soldiersperspective.us gives us the lowdown that:

"The act was conceived by Congressman Roscoe Bartlett, R-MD, in response to the many home-owners associations popping up across the country refusing to allow Americans to fly their flags on their own property.

U.S. House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said: 'Every American should retain the right to display the American flag, the very symbol of freedom upon which our nation was founded. Rep. Bartlett should be commended for his leadership on this issue and his work to help preserve the core values of this great country.'”

Darn right. It's sad something like this has to be legislated.

Even more sad that it'll probably be circumvented by the truly determined homeowner associations once it's been signed into law. But I've got to give him credit for fighting the good fight.
