TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATON
The only thing worse than bullies who forcefully take what is rightfully yours are the bureaucratic thugs who claim it is moral for them to take it.Protect your rights to life and property with the same tenacity you would fight a bully. Don't let them use moral guilt to disarm you.

SIMPLY PUT...
- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
- What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
- The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
- When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.
- You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Landlord/Tenant Law 101
Beginning in early 2004, the BPOA Monthly published a series of articles about the basics of landlord tenant law, particularly as applied in Berkeley. Over the months we have covered the following subjects:
Rent Board Changes on Security Deposit Interest Rates
GOVERNOR AGREES: LANDLORDS ARE NOT IMMIGRATION COPS
Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 976 into law. The bill prohibits city councils from passing laws that require landlords to inquire about a prospective tenant's immigration status and report that information to local government.
