Unity Political Machine Buys Our Election–Again

There are numerous individuals on various blogs trying to explain how and why the unity political machine bought the SCA election for the 3rd year in a row.  Less than one-third of our members voted this time, and the other two-thirds are assumed to be apathetic. 

But, the nasty truth is that most SCA members are sadly uninformed about the board’s past financial misconduct or mismanagement.  Most members do not know about the tens of thousands of dollars raised by the unity political machine through external sources to buy our elections.  It has been proven that truly independent candidates for the SCA Board can not win in such a partisan political environment.

For example, most members are not aware that past SCA Boards have violated laws by refusing to allow opposing member opinions to be distributed through SCA channels or to be expressed during official election events.  And, when attempts have been made to go around the board through public media channels, the boards have used community funds to unfairly distribute misleading and false statements to keep members confused.   As a result, the unity political machine and its directors have systematically used our community funds to manipulate community opinions to suit their personal agendas.

Recently, on Rana’s blog, a user with the handle “Bottlebrush” made some excellent comments about the election.  Here is a link to the full posting:

However, I can not agree with at least one point that is quoted as follows:  “This reality check will surface when a monumental expenditure engulfs this community.”

Yes, most people live their busy lives under the old adage of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” However, once people find out something is “broke” they usually demand it be fixed. In this case, very few SCA members know the truth about the past financial misconduct and millions of dollars losses by the unity party machine directors.  So, we do not have to wait for more millions to be wasted before acting to prevent more in the future.  What we have to do today is find better ways to inform all 7,144 homeowners of the TRUTH.

We have seen how hard the unity party machine has worked to maintain a CONE of Silence over the membership, and how many tens of thousands of dollars they have collected and spent in the past two years to ensure election of its people who are bound to keep secret the truth about the financial waste and abuse of their friends.

When anyone asks them, the unity machine-elected directors admit they do not know all of the facts, and they do not want to know all of the facts. Why would unpaid volunteer directors be so willing to hide the facts about financial misconduct? What kind of direct or indirect benefits could they be receiving to justify such behavior?

As one of many who have spent quite a bit of time this year helping to organize and support the rapidly growing grassroots Tea Party activities, I believe that when our SCA members finally learn the truth about the millions of dollars of waste and abuse of membership assessments that the unity political machine is systematically hiding, the majority will demand a total house cleaning. We do not have to wait for many more millions to be wasted and/or abused before acting.

Our own SCA experience proves (from the total rejection of Favil West and his buddies in 2007 for their well-documented corruption) the majority of well-informed members will vote to remove the corruption. So, how do we better inform every single member in the community of the current facts via internal and external channels? How do we systematically overcome the board’s massive advantage to absolutely control all SCA information channels?

In the end, the financial interests of the whole community must out-weigh the personal interests of the minority (less than 1,500 out of 7,144 owners) who currently support the unity political machine candidates.  We can also count on many of those who innocently elected the unity machine in the past, to reject them, after they finally know the truth.
