We just got this email from Rep. Jill Chambers:

Dunwoody city advocates were a bit upset last week that I was handing out the copies of the HOST Referendum with the Attorney General's advisory opinion letter, as well as the constitutionally mandated Cooperation Agreement between the County and the PCID.

Last thursday (at the DHA meeting), Bob Lundston, of the Dunwoody Homeowners Association, asked me to stop handing out information. He told me that it was HIS meeting and that he did not approve. Other fine citizens were distributing literature, red ribbons or wearing tags with question marks to indicate unanswered questions.

Since it was billed as a community meeting http://www.citizensfordunwoody.org/ , I told him that I had the First Amendment right to free assembly and freedom of speech. So Bob asked me to stand by a table and distribute the literature, which I did under his constant supervision.

I guess they plan to supress information and dissenting opinions from now on - see original email below: 'Informational literature must be cleared with the sponsoring organization before the event is held; this literature can be placed on a common table for distribution to attendees, not handed directly to them.'

When the Dunwoody Homeowners Association obtained permission to use the Dunwoody United Methodist Church facility for the recent Information Forum, certain guidelines were established. So everyone is absolutely clear about the rules as they apply to the DHA sponsored June 19 forum (this applies to all other organizations using the church), I will outline what is required. Political campaigning, signs or literature are not permitted on church property. Information or directional signs will not be attached to walls or columns; the church has standard signs that are available for such postings. Informational literature must be cleared with the sponsoring organization before the event is held; this literature can be placed on a common table for distribution to attendees, not handed directly to them. Thanks.

Bill Robinson
