**To the tune of “When the Saints Go Marching In”**

Oh, when the truth
Comes marching in,
Oh, when the truth comes marching in,
Oh, I want to be there asking questions
When the truth comes marching in.

We asked to see
Where money went,
We asked to see where money went,
When homeowners ask for the records,
We should know where money went.

They fined me five,
Then ten more grand,
They fined me five, then ten more grand,
Twenty thousand one hundred dollars—
Now the Division has it in hand.

I asked them why,
I asked them when,
I asked them why, I asked them when,
But asking questions shouldn’t mean
You get punished once again.

I served the Board,
I served with pride,
I served the Board, I served with pride,
Elected twice by my neighbors,
With homeowners on my side.

I was Treasurer,
The records show,
I was Treasurer, the records show,
But Budget and Finance met without me—
And I wasn’t even told to go.

Five emails please,
That’s what they said,
Only five emails, that’s what they said,
No vendor contact, stay from meetings—
While I still served and had to lead.

Then came the rule:
Five hundred feet,
Stay five hundred feet from where they meet,
How can a homeowner ask a question
When management you cannot greet?

Then April came,
The Board took aim,
Then April came, the Board took aim,
Four voted yes and three voted no,
And removed me just the same.

But homeowners,
They have a voice,
Yes, homeowners, they have a voice,
Rules should apply to everybody—
Selective treatment isn’t a choice.

If one can call
A vendor direct,
If one can call a vendor direct,
Then everyone should face the same rule—
That’s what equal rules should reflect.

If someone says
They carry a gun,
If someone says they carry a gun,
Reporting safety shouldn’t bring
A five-thousand-dollar punishment.

Now NRED has
The records too,
Now NRED has the records too,
Emails, minutes, fines and notices—
Let the evidence tell what is true.

So open up
Those meeting doors,
Open up those meeting doors,
Show the records, answer questions—
That’s what an HOA is for.

Oh, when the truth
Comes marching in,
Oh, when the truth comes marching in,
Four thousand homes deserve transparency
When the truth comes marching in.

**Final verse**

We’re homeowners,
And we have a say,
Yes, homeowners, we have a say,
Follow the rules you ask us to follow—
And treat us all the same way.

Oh, when the truth
Comes marching in,
Oh, when the truth comes marching in,
I want Rhodes Ranch standing together
When the truth comes marching in!
