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 notices from the Ambiance Owners Association threatening fines for violating flag policy.
  • Following a resident's attempt to fly a San Diego Padres flag, the HOA revisited its rules and issued violation notices alleging American flags mounted on garage door frames violated association policy.
  • Homeowners were told to remove flags within 15 days, but 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 American flag displays, while the Cookes launched an online fundraiser to cover legal expenses.
  • As Americans prepare for the nation's 250th birthday, California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton urged residents to ignore the HOA's demands and display even more American flags in celebration.
