HOA threatens American flag-flying homeowners as they fight for Old Glory before nation’s 250th birthday

As Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday, homeowners in an upscale Southern California community say they're being threatened with fines for flying Old Glory.

Residents in San Marcos, whose townhome community is governed by the Ambiance Owners Association, are refusing to remove American flags displayed outside their homes despite notices from the homeowners association.

Real estate websites show townhomes in the community are valued at just under $1 million.
