Told to take down my flag

[U.S. Patriot]

Remove it!
And put a bigger one instead.

I'm buying a new one anyways, as the old one needs to be properly disposed of.

If it's not in the contract signed by me, then it holds no weight in my eyes. I emailed Fox 59, Channel 8 news, and my local paper. Take away one flag, and eventually they'll be gone.

If its not in the contract i wouldnt worry, and if you dont sign anything new, then you really have no worries. Id wait until they start trying other tactics before contacting the news. Either way, good luck.

Maybe try a large poster print of this:

Then see how opposed he is to flag waving after a few days

Worse they can do is tell you to move. Do you really want to give money to them? If it comes to that give me a call. I would be happy to help you box up your dishes.

Have you spoken to your property manager in person about this and voiced your concerns? I admire you for staying true to your convictions. My convictions to a potted plant are not so strong, so I was fine with what I signed. But some things to consider would be are you in good standing with the property management? And worst case scenario and/or when the lease is up are you prepared to move?

I really think it's only a matter of hanging a flag (of any kind) from a flag stand or some other loose hanging way. I'm sure if you had one against your siding, your door, or hanging from the window it wouldn't be a problem at all. It may not be exactly what you wanted but the reality of the situation is you're renting someone elses property.

Replace all curtains and/or blinds with flags hanging over your windows. I have a flag hanging over the window on my office door glass instead of a curtain, I might even have an extra one I can send you free of charge.

Any one else in for an INGO mailing campaign? Flood there mailboxes.

I would love to make calls/send letters to the apartment on behalf of a veteran who wants to display The Flag.

A Facebook listing would be awesome, it would be on thousands of pages in just hours.

Title it "War Veteran denied right to fly the American Flag by new owners"

That should get a few views

 

[Screachin93]

Its a sad day in America when your asked to take down your flag. It says alot about how things have changed. I stand with you.

 

[Fenway]

Take it to the news

Waiting on a response from OP. If he gives me the go and the contact information...It's on.

If you want to move you can use my truck free of charge

If you rent, not sure man. Wouldn't look for just a "flag" clause, but something regarding them being able to change conditions of continued rental, not including directly, race, creed, color, etc...

Wrong answer. A leasehold is a property right just like anything else. I wish they taught this in high school.

No, not just like anything else. It is subject to the limitations place on it by the owner/lessor.

And then there is the Tannerite remedy ...

:"Yes massah, I understand, but THIS here is an AMERICAN flag, and it trumps any of your idiot lists. ANY!!" Is standing for Old Glory the same as "causing a stink"?

I doubt causing a stink will do much, unfortunately. You may just have to take it down a notch and hang a flag on your door, window etc. Any way that it's not "sticking out" basically so that the poor lawnmower people aren't forced to exercise a shred of caution not to run over or into your stuff.

When I attend flag-burnings ....

.... I always take a jug of gasoline to throw on the fire. OOoops !! Did you get any on ya;?? Ronson lighter fluid works well, also.

Calm down...










or don't.

If they force you to take it down, take it to the news media. They love these stories. If Indianapolis is your tv station market, they will have a hay day with it.

This! Legally, you're at the mercy of the property. However, if you give them a black eye in the media, you may have a chance. Goodf luck.
