HOA Revolution!

We got a flier on our door about a week ago stating that our doors would be painted on a certain date and time, and we were to be home to allow the painters access, etc. That day was today and yesterday. The painters painted 7 doors yesterday. The doors were being painted red and yellow; one door red, the next door yellow, etc. Kind of a golden, iradescent yellow. Disgusting. The exterior of our buildings are grey/taupe, earthy tone. The doors have all been black up to this point and look simply smashing. Since we're part of a home owner's association, and no home owners actually remember voting on drastically changing the appearace of our homes, we started a revolution. I opened my door to the painter this morning at 8:30, and told him I didn't want my door painted. I knocked on several other doors and told them not to let their doors be painted. We called our management company, HOA president, and knocked on doors to get people riled up. Apparently our HOA president and one guy at the management company decided to paint the doors these wretched colors without telling anyone. Excuse me? Is Ronald McDonald taking over here? We all met out on the street this morning, HOA president, management company guy, and a mob of angry homeowners. It was fabulous. The HOA president acted like the victim, crying that no one appreciates all he does for us, blah blah blah. The moron from the management company tried to patronize us by "explaining" that this is how it works, and this is how government works, too, stupid-stay-at-home moms. We explained to him that in government there are checks and balances, thanks. Long story short: our doors are staying black.

Thank you, and remember to FIGHT THE POWER!
