In a May 24th Letter to the Editor of the Sunday News headed “Ballpark ambush”, Joy Schwanger writes:
At the front gates people approach you, stating that if you give them your name and phone number you will be entered to win a free car. What they don’t tell you is you give them your information, it will be sold to a company called Sundance Vacations, which will relentlessly call you trying to ‘give’ you free vacations.
While handing out news and commentary at Clipper Stadium, NewsLanc observed representatives with “Sundance Vacations” on their shirts collecting names and addresses. So long as NewsLanc is on public property, it is exercising its “Freedom of Speech” rights protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. But we know of no similar Constitutional protection for conducting a business on public property.
The Barnstormers should take appropriate action before the ball park becomes a flea market.
