Both of those groups purport to be working on behalf of the interests of the owners of pre-HUD Code mobile home owners, as well as the millions of owners of manufactured homes.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are currently two, and an emerging third, national trade association.\u00a0 There is the <strong>Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), and the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR)<\/strong>. They each have a different mission statement, with MHI claiming to represent both production and post-production interests, and MHARR plainly stating that they work for the interests of mitigating regulatory issues that face independent producers of manufactured homes.<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>There are two major political parties<\/strong>. As almost any American adult in the U.S. would know, there are <strong>Democrats and there are Republicans<\/strong> (a.k.a., the Grand Old Party or GOP).\u00a0 Each major party, plus minor parties like Libertarians, advance their candidates for local, state or national offices.<\/p>\n<p>4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>For fun and fairness, we could point to ourselves as trade publishers, and say the same thing<\/strong>. Compare what we do, with what any other remaining or new trade publisher does in manufactured housing.\u00a0 Who brings you pablum, platitudes, or thinly veiled promotions vs. who brings you news, facts, analysis, and commentary that can be used to navigate the waters that businesses, professionals, and investors face?<\/p>\n<p>Note none of the above \u2013 including ourselves \u2013 are perfect. By definition, any lack of perfection in philosophical jargon is some degree of \u2018evil,\u2019 not pure <em>evil,<\/em> but an <em>imperfection.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Between imperfect choices, which choices from the above will people make?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decisions, Decisions\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Elections are about choices.\u00a0 Decisions. On a practical level,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>one votes for a Democrat,<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>a Republican or other party, or<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>one doesn\u2019t vote at all.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Those who don\u2019t vote, have \u2018voted\u2019 not to participate, and have thus yielded to those who do.\u00a0 The resident groups are right about this.\u00a0 Their power is at the ballot box.\u00a0 Just ask long-time industry professionals in states like CA or Delaware \u2013 not to mention a number of other states in between the east and west coasts \u2013 and they\u2019ll tell you that resident groups have caused bills at the local and state level to pass that include measures such as rent control or \u201crent justification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The industry often opposes these.<\/p>\n<p>Resident groups are engaged at the state level by a number of state associations. MHI and MHARR have engaged at various times and ways with NMHOA, though on differing topics. MHARR is not directly involved in community issues, but they do promote a robust entry by the GSEs into manufactured home lending, as one of several topics that are important to communities, retailers, and thus producers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>With the Table Set Above\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are good reasons to believe this the upcoming midterm election could be the biggest in years, perhaps, in a generation or more.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Weymouth, has been claimed as a member by the leadership of Delaware Manufactured Home Owner Association (DMHOA), which affiliates with both NMHOA and MHAction.<\/p>\n<p>Weymouth, perhaps not realizing his illogical argument, in several letters to the editor in his area, has written arguing that Democrats needed to be elected, even though he admits in his own column, that the Democrats who passed a rent-control bill was \u201c<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>useless<\/strong><\/span>\u201d to manufactured home owners.\u00a0 Useless legislation, but vote for those that passed it?<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/mh-communities-owners-mh-independents-alert-nmhoa-and-mhaction-next-steps-part-1\/<\/p>\n<p>That said, Weymouth is urging manufactured homeowners to vote Democratic.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Sheahan, is the president of the NMHOA. He had a lengthy submission to the FHFA on the topic of the Duty to Serve (DTS) by Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In it, he made several interesting points, which wittingly or not, he later logically contradicted.\u00a0 See the report, linked below for specifics.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/tim-sheahan-nmhoa-president-controversial-points-of-agreement-with-marty-lavin-george-allen-on-communities\/<\/p>\n<p>The tactics and positions taken by NMHOA or MHAction tend to align more with Democratic than Republican politics.\u00a0 If they see that differently, they\u2019re leadership is welcome to send me a letter to the editor to clear up any confusion on that point.\u00a0 But so far, what&#8217;s been communicated privately and publicly led us to that conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Let me be clear.\u00a0 The analysis we\u2019ve done are not put-downs to Weymouth or Sheahan. Manufactured home residents deserve respect.\u00a0 There are few in the industry who&#8217;ve done more to lift up the image of manufactured home owners, as what we&#8217;ve done on <em>MHLivingNews<\/em>.com.

Coal, manufacturing, and other jobs that Mr. Obama said would never come back, are under President Trump&#8217;s pro-growth policies.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that Mr. Obama even feels the need to make such obviously false claims should speak volumes.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let the supposedly soaring rhetoric carry your colleagues off.\u00a0 Because a growing number of the former 44th president&#8217;s supporters left him for the Trump movement.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, about 1\/3 of the counties that candidate Obama won, where won years later by candidate Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Under President Obama, starting with his first midterms, Democrats lost a net of some 1,000 seats at the federal, state and local levels.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind, that President Trump, much like the late President Ronald Reagan, is a former Democrat.
