Cary families say HOA unfairly targeting Trump flags with new rules
Two families say the homeowners association for their Cary neighborhood is playing politics by banning political flags.
Posted — UpdatedLast week, however, they got notice from the HOA that the flag violates the neighborhood’s new flag rules.
"I believe in our Constitution, our amendments. I believe in people's right to express their feelings," Cherico said. "I don't want to bring left and right into it, but I feel like [the rules are], if you're not left, you're not right, and I am entitled to my opinion."
The family said the HOA is infringing on their right to free speech. Carolina Preserve had previously only regulated the size of flags and how they were mounted, but the HOA recently changed the rules to prohibit “any flag that falls within the definition of a 'political sign.'”
"Changing the rules to violate your constitutional right is not their authority, in my opinion," he said. "We want to stop this level of overreach and let them back away so they can let the people live in a free America."
“I will not roll over and play dead," Laurie Cherico said, vowing that the Trump flag would likewise remain.
