Standing up for your life and living!

This is a story that has been building for 13 years. As of this 16th day of July in the year 2010 I have resided at 945 NW Naito Parkway, Portland, Oregon. From year one the owners and managers(following orders) have told me what I can decorate my personal patio/lanai like. I have had colored lights on up and down in the beginning few years. I decided to leave the colored lights up all year long. I love colors and I am very fond of the Rainbow arrangements available to the general public. Well, I have done my homework and looked up the state and federal laws on home decorating. Yes, folks,there are laws in regards to what you can or can not decorate your home space with. Fine....the ONLY guiding laws are simple: if it is racially or sexually offensive it is not allowed! All of us understand this simple edict. I am a part of a minority, but who isn't?! I have been posted with "cause for eviction" a few times in my 13 year tenancy and never have the managers followed through. 2 years ago, on this day, the 16th of July, I was given a posting of like mentioned and I got mad! I started a Tenant Association for all residents and there were many similar complaints of harrassing postings around the complex....there are over 500 units in this complex! Management backed off, a bit. On the 9th of July this year I recieved a letter from the law offices that represent GSL Inc. stating that I was to vacate the premises no later than July 22nd by 12:30am. I freaked! The reasoning is in regards to pest control (I don't have a lot of bugs, I've battled them with the pest control business) and not being prepared for one scheduled treatment and the other was due to the moving of the schedule because my Service Dog had just been spayed and needed 14 days to heal.....the management bitched! They have also not signed my lease to rent here, but that is alright, I am on Section 8 housing assistance. With this letter I called Housing Authority (main owner of my home) who recommended going to Legal Aid after they asked me to send them a copy of the notice. I was advised by friends who work in law offices and are law students to go to Fair Housing Authority of Oregon and referred me to a couple of other lawyers to handle a harrassment/discrimination case. I have done all of these things and, as Legal Aid has stated, this is a case of harrassment and that they will stop the eviciton process. I think I will need to go to another lawyer for the harrassment suit.

I am putting this on line here for all to see and know that you do not need to put up with any harrassment nor discrimination.....EVER! There are organizations that will be able to help and you really do have the power to Stand Up for Your Life and Living! Do not let the 'authorities' control your own personal life, they don't wipe your ass, nor do they eat your food or drink your water for you to continue to live! You have the power to live, so do so and don't cringe with fear and blind obedience when you are confronted by those who will not respect your civil rights in this country!

I, ZaZa V Liebchen, have so Spoken!
