HOA Threatens American Flag-Flying Homeowners as They Fight for Old Glory
Residents say the HOA threatened fines over longstanding flag displays, and the homeowners have launched a fundraiser for a possible legal fight.
- Residents in San Marcos are refusing to remove American flags displayed outside their homes despite violation notices from the Ambiance Owners Association, which threatens fines for flying Old Glory.
- The controversy began after a resident attempted to fly a San Diego Padres flag, prompting the Ambiance Owners Association to revisit its flag policy and issue violation notices for American flags mounted on garage door frames.
- Homeowners face fines if they do not remove flags within 15 days; Amy Cooke said her flag has flown for more than 20 years to honor her husband's grandfather who died in World War II.
- Courtney Corbello, counsel at the Center for American Liberty, told Fox News Digital that HOAs cannot prohibit the display of the American flag; the Cookes have launched an online fundraiser to cover legal expenses.
- California Civil Code § 4705 and the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 protect homeowners' rights; as Americans prepare for the nation's 250th birthday, California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton urged residents to display even more flags.
