CITIZENS OF FLORIDA: UNITE We
owners have to unite under the battle cry : GIVE
ASSOCIATIONS BACK TO THE OWNERS! Our
homes should be our homes again – and not part of a generic corporation
with little interest in working for our welfare. Specialized attorneys
have been running the show for more than 30 years – and the results are
obvious! Many useless law suits and inflated costs for management are
eating up our dues, instead of paying for the maintenance and
beautification of our communities. It
is imperative for our welfare that we have statutes that clearly explain
what to do – and not to do! And a government agency with enforcement
power, so the powers to be know they will be held accountable for
violating the governing rules. Cyber
Citizens For Justice, Inc. has just celebrated its Fifth Anniversary! Our organization has established goals of ADVOCACY,
EDUCATION and LEGISLATIVE REFORM. During
the 2004 Legislative Session we succeeded to enact various bills that were
definitely steps in the right direction: ·
Condo Ombudsman’s Office ·
Condo Advisory Council ·
Grandfathering Rental Rights In Condos ·
No More Liens And Foreclosures For Fines In HOAs ·
Easy Recall Procedures For HOAs ·
Certain Safeguards To Prevent Litigation Abuses ·
No More SLAPP Suits! ·
Greater Accountability Of Funds Just
to name some of the main achievements during the last legislative session.
There is still a long way to go to achieve the final goal of creating the
protection homeowners and condo owners in Florida deserve.
We will not rest until our Florida legislators produce the
following changes to the laws that govern Mandated Properties:
Full
Disclosure, NOT Caveat Emptor, must be the "Buy Words" in
Florida – for all mandated properties, including Community Development
Districts. These reforms
are long overdue. Homeowners
and condo-unit owners all over Florida are suffering from inadequate
protection against abuses. Small
improvements have been made during the last session, but definitely not as
comprehensive as necessary! Fairness
Is The Goal ! Currently, new bills regarding these issues are being written and will soon be filed. We hope that homeowners and condo-owners from all over Florida will support our efforts. We have hired an effective lobbyist to be Our Voice In Tallahassee. Jerry Melvin, former Dean of the House, has contracted with CCFJ to be its lobbyist, beginning immediately and continuing through the 2005 Florida Legislative Session. "WE
THE PEOPLE" of this growing statewide organization are intent
upon beneficially influencing government and improving the political,
economic and social aspects of Florida citizens.
Our members are committed to working toward individual and common
goals that affect the group. As
our growth continues, our citizens have become enthusiastic and talented
representatives of CCFJ. Our
web pages at http://www.ccfj.net/ illustrate the work
accomplished by our committees. News about Homeowners' Associations, Condominium Associations
and Community Development Districts is reported and posted on a regular
basis. Other
news of interest is dispatched via the Internet to members and our network
e-mail list on an intermittent basis.
Because of these diligent efforts, the members and friends of CCFJ
are kept abreast of current legislative developments and other issues
pertaining to Property Rights. Every
member has Full Voting Rights. All
major decisions are brought before the members for approval. "PEOPLE
POWER" is evident in all that is accomplished by CCFJ.
"In Unity There Is Strength!"
-- this phrase is the
hallmark of a democratic organization and it is a keynote principle of
Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc. We
greatly welcome the opportunity to work with the following organizations
in an alliance to achieve common goals and objectives:
League Of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC); Property
Owners Association Of The Villages (POA); Service Employees
International Union (SEIU) Local 11; Consumer Advocacy Network (CAN);
and Fair Housing Center Of The Greater Palm Beaches (FHCGPB).
These organizations recognize our cause is right and just -- and we
expect others will JOIN with us to create an atmosphere of trust in
government for Florida citizens. Improving
the HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE of Florida citizens is our constant
quest. We need your
assistance to accomplish these goals.
Help us to continue to organize statewide.
