My name is Sarah Harvey and I live in the Wyatt at Presidio Junction. Three weeks ago I decided to display the American flag on behalf of my country and my husband who serves in the United States Marine Corps. After serving 4 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and 13 years years and counting it is the least I can do to show my love and support for all our brave soldiers. On October 28, 2013 I received a notice not only demanding the flag be taken down, but also fining me for having it up. I went to management and argued my case to no avail. I received the owner's email and have since emailed them with no response yet. So I am coming to you all for help. I followed the lease provisions involving not damaging the building or any structure on the property by zip tying the flag onto my railing. There is a clause regarding what should and shouldn't be on our patios. As it states on the lease clause only outdoor furniture is allowed. My stance is the American flag is an outdoor product and if, as management has stated to me, things like; plants, BBQ pits, bikes, and other typical outdoor products are allowed on the patio even though they are not considered outdoor furniture than the American flag should be allowed as well. The management team explained the reasons behind the denial of my American flag in terms that it could end up leading to someone claiming discrimination if someone else tried to fly another flag and they also tried to reference the "only patio furniture" statement but then agreed that they verbally agree to other items. I am coming to you, fellow residents, to get you all's approval and support so I can continue to fly my American flag in support and honor of our country and our soldiers. Please help me fight this injustice. I am asking nothing more than a signature to show management and the owners that no one is offended or against my family flying the American Flag. I also would like to point out that we all have a federal legal right, regardless what the company considers outdoor furniture. As per the Freedom to Fly the American Act of 2005 which was officially put into law July 24, 2006 section 3: SEC. 3. RIGHT TO DISPLAY THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES. A condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent a member of the association from displaying the flag of the United States on residential property within the association with respect to which such member has a separate ownership interest or a right to exclusive possession or use. So I feel I am justified and supported in my right to fly the American flag, however I think everyone should have a right within our complex to fly the American flag without being hassled by the management team. I am not trying to cause any undue stress to anyone. So please help me keep my American flag up and allow others to have to ability to fly their American flags as well. Thanks for your support and have a wonderful day. Sarah Harvey
