Dealing with Neighborhood Associations....

[LouKYDem]

Personally, I was (and still am) against the war and all, but never intended to put up a "Stop the war" sign or anything after I had a pro-Democratic sign physically removed by the neighborhood association during the 2002 political season. Yard signs, are after all, a violation of the deed of restrictions for my neighborhood association. However, since the beginning of this year, I've been seeing signs pop up in some yards of my neighborhood that say "Support President Bush and Our Troops" and other messages like that. When I went o a neighborhood association meeting to address this (and I admit, I waited until last month), I was basically called a "Communist Nazi" (yeah I know it's an oxymoron, or should I say oxymoran ;) ) by one of the leaders of the neighborhood association, and was told that they aren't going to take any action against those because they claim that the deed of restrictions deals only with POLITICAL signs!! How are these signs NOT political?? And besides that, the deed of restrictions says only signs advertising the house for sale should be placed in the yards. To top it all off, the PRESIDENT of the neighborhood association has one of the signs in his OWN yard!

Besides the obvious solution (moving, and believe me, I've considered it), are there any other things that I can do to deal with this hypocrisy??
