Dear [Friend, Neighbor, Resident],
Community Associations Institute (CAI) works on your behalf every day to educate legislators on the community association housing model. This is important because we want legislation that protects property values and our community’s right to create and enforce community rules.
CAI started a social media campaign
(#CAIvotes) that lets you inform your candidates that you vote. You can also add what is important to you about your community.
If you are active on social media (Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter), visit
www.caionline.org/caivotes and join the
#CAIvotes campaign today for resources and templates.
Thank you,
[Your name]
