Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Illinois
Freedom of speech
Is there a right of the organization to reign in the speech of a member when that member writes articles in a paper then signs off on the article as part of that organization?

Re: Freedom of speech
Hello. The organization membership
can vote to bring an action in court
to injoin or bar the particular member
from making speeches and representing
that the views are those of the organization. This is really serious. I have seen situations like this before. The involvement of the entire membership in the vote is a "must". I can answer more questions if you like. Feel free to contact me.
