While I agree with what you say, the HOA in this case still has no

I never have understood why people can't seem to recall that the
first
words of the first amendment are "Congress shall not".. For the most
part, the first amendment covers only what government does.

ALL of the Constitution is a limitation *on government*.
NOT any limit on the People.

Thus, if I
want to leaflet at a Mall, they can toss me out of the door barring a
state law to the contrary because it is private property. Even then it
would be a state law and not federal or constitutional question.


Even on such "private property" -open to the public-,you still retain
certain rights,and they are still subject to certain government
regulations,such as health,safety regs,both state and Federal.

As people are so quick to say;"no right is absolute".
