A few of our non-American neighbours have got wind of this and now they are getting and flying a Pueto Rican flag, an Irish flag, another Union Flag and an Italian flag.
Or they take away your birthday presumably?

I wonder what the local copper would have to say about it? Might be interesting to see. Just out of interest - are they all old retired Jewish snowbirds like on Seinfeld?

Nah, he's probably in their pocket.

Oooooooh.....

Puerto Rico is a US territory.... they *really* have no right to ask that that one be taken down.

Do you have a flag of the Mariana Islands handy?

Voice of a bigotted community....

We sent this email to all current members of the HOA following the weekends antics:

"Further to your visit to us, yesterday, we want to inform you of some things.

1) Within the CRS Report for Congress pertaining to the United States Flag: Federal Law, states (CRS-5 (g)) 'When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in times of peace'.

2) Within your declaration of covenants P4, 1.13.12 you state 'other non-offensive state or national flags when flown should be flown beneath the US flag'.

As you can see this is clearly against the Federal Law and International Law.

With this in mind, we intend to fly our flag of the union of England, Scotland and Ireland and the English flag (the cross of St George).

We did fly the USA flag, but was told by the HOA that we were breaking the covenants by not lighting it up at night (there is a street light directly opposite, on every night, and we have a solar light underneath it anyway). There are many USA flags being flown on this development by americans, without being lit at night, or removed. I don't see anyone putting up lights or taking the flags down at night.

We feel that these problems might be because we are English. We feel this would consitute racial harrassment. If there are any further unnecessary visits from the HOA we will seek an attorney.

Yours

***********"


And so far we have had this reply from one member of the HOA:

"Why are you sending your complaint to me? If you would check your facts before sending your threatening email, you would see that my only duty on the MOHOA is the editor of the newsletter. If you have complaints, address them to the proper person, the President of the MOHOA, *****. Please, lets not pull the "racial harrassment" trick. Frankly, no one cares what nationality you are as you can see by all we let or allow to remain in our country. . "

what a nobhead. It IS very kind of them to let you in though.

Threatening? I think it was very eloquent and reasonable. He (?), however, is probably hiding under his desk! what a coward! He should have just told you the correct place to send it, and that should be it. Guilty conscience perhaps?

p.s. hiya

At what stage do you intend to inform the local press - could be good for a few laughs
Just be careful though - this person sounds like they might be one of the special super-friends

The guy works for USCIS?

Blech.

Heck, we even provided free transportation for Africans and their descendants aren't exactly greeted with respect.

The press would be all over this story.

Especially if you told them that you're going to start a campaign back home in the UK to stop the Brit tourism to Florida, as they're not welcome here.

I'd do it.
