The gavel had dropped. Benjamin Thomas was feeling powerful in his HOA logo’d tee shirt

“Is there any old business that needs to be discussed other than the Wilson’s lawn drainage dirt?”

“We realize the dirt that runs from their driveway into the cul-de-sac is entirely unacceptable”

“The fact the runoff is noticeable is a breach of contract that states runoff of any kind cannot be perceptible”

“I also realize we need to deal with the Creary’s lawn as last week seventeen dandelions were found in their turf grass”

“Mr. Creary is currently away has promised to eradicate those noxious weeds to keep all the lawns first class”

“Now for new business, as you have seen rental homes are popping up just down the street from our neighborhood”

“I know for a fact illegal immigrants are starting to pack those homes with relatives and friends just like you know they would”

“I also notice that three long time members of this association have put their homes up for sale”

“It won’t take much time for those homes to turn to renters as decent folks won’t buy in an area where homes have ten cars in a driveway and soon everyone begins to bail”

“So here’s my suggestion as a tax paying American, it’s time to make a stand”

“We need to form an enforcer committee and see to it that multi families attempting to live under one roof be banned”

“We can approach the city council first and have that rule instituted if everyone would agree”

“Because if that doesn’t happen it will be up to us to let those non citizens know how things work around here before it gets ugly”

“So who’s volunteering for this committee to ensure our way of life remains the same”

“Or succumb to the influx of non tax paying citizens and watch goat barbecues and loud Mariachi parties become the new ball game”

“Will you be willing to join this special HOA and Vigilante committee?”

“Before our once beautiful town becomes just another third world city”
