CITIZENS OF FLORIDA: UNITE !

May 31, 2005

Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc. has celebrated its Fifth Anniversary! Our organization has established goals of ADVOCACY, EDUCATION and LEGISLATIVE REFORM.

"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' lives.  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.   

Nobody will help us if we don't help ourselves.  Legislators willing to fight for our rights need our support -- as we need theirs.  We can't afford to charter airplanes to Tallahassee and we can't finance misleading surveys, as some of the service providers do.  Yet we have the right on our side -- and definitely the numbers!  Don't get involved in the litigation vortex or fall into the arbitration trap.  Once you're involved, your money goes down the drain faster than you can watch it. This way the industry that opposes homeowners’ rights beats us one by one!

Don't forget that all these lawsuits have only one real winner:

The attorneys! And only one real loser: The owners!

With our numbers we can beat the influence of the service providers that try to tell legislators “all is fine” and “reforms are not needed.”  Other deceptive ploys used by service providers are cover-up organizations that claim to support homeowners’ rights. There are as well still some gullible board members who haven't figured out that by supporting the service providers they are not helping the welfare of their neighbors who voted them into office.  If you haven't figured it out yet -- Owners and service providers have opposite interests!

Don't wait until it's your turn to be targeted. Then it's often too late. Help to change the laws NOW to avoid dealing with it later.

Join us now in our fight for owners' rights. "UNITED WE STAND" still works fine!

Joining us is really easy!  Our dues are $20 annually.  By joining you receive all of our membership privileges.

TWO EASY WAYS TO JOIN:

In case you want to think it over, just join our dispatch e-mail list by signing our Guest Book or send e-mail to [email protected] asking to join the list. Please state your county and your interest (Condo, HOA, CDD) in order to avoid receiving e-mails for other interest groups!

 

Only if we help each other will we have a chance to achieve our goal: Peaceful and harmonious communities. A GREAT PLACE TO COME HOME TO!

 

During the 2004 Legislative Session we succeeded to enact various bills that were definitely steps in the right direction:

·        Condominium Ombudsman Office

·        Advisory Council on Condominiums

·        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 2004 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:

  • Create Government Agency With Enforcement Power
  • Provide Education and Information For Owners And Board Members
  • Put A Stop To Abusive Foreclosures In Associations
  • Protect Our Vested Rights  
  • Enact Statutes And Documents That Are Easy To Understand And Easy To Follow

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 2004 session, but definitely not as comprehensive as necessary!

Fairness Is The Goal !

As a member, you will have access to all corporate business records, minutes of meetings, financial records and our chat room in our MEMBERS ONLY pages. The chat room enables us to conduct our meetings, which we encourage members to attend online.  Members and committees can have real-time conversations and meetings in our chat room. 

Every member has Full Voting Rights.  All major decisions are brought before the members for approval.  We have a Voting Booth where your vote and comments will be recorded.  "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 that 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.  Invite your neighbors and friends to JOIN AND HELP US TO ESTABLISH OUR VOICE IN TALLAHASSEE!

WELCOME ABOARD!

With Best Regards,

Members Of Cyber Citizens For Justice, Inc.
