HOAs another layer of government.
Thats what happens when you live in an association.
He needs to run for the board and change the rules.
Having said that - do not take down the flag make then take you to court.

“He needs to run for the board and change the rules.

Yes, that’s what we thought. So the Board changed the election rules. They won’t allow any statements on policy or anything regarding the HOA in an election. They just don’t have to follow the law, so they don’t.

This is the board statement: “Biographical statements may not advocate any particular position on any issue, nor can they contain campaign statements. The Association shall not edit or redact any Biographical statement content but will REJECT those statements that contain prohibited items”

And what the law says:

(1) Ensure that any candidate or member advocating a point of view is provided access to association media, newsletters, or Internet Web sites during a campaign, for purposes that are reasonably related to that election. Equal access shall be provided to all candidates and members advocating a point of view, including those not endorsed by the board, for purposes that are reasonably related to the election. The association shall not edit or redact any content from these communications, but may include a statement specifying that the candidate or member, and not the association, is responsible for that content.
