Saints, I keep running into the colleges and local malls requiring a one million dollar liability insurance bond in order to use the free speech areas or set up a booth inside the mall. Both instances are not sponsored activities by clubs at the school or any businesses at the mall. Any feedback, ideas on how to deal with this issue? Do you know any good, cheap, liability insurance companies? Thanks to all. John

Try your local (TRUE CHURCH), see if they will add you to their insurance for such a work as this. If the pastor is led of God and God has called you to do this, then it should work out. I hope all well with you.

There is no way that can be a legal requirement for FREE speech. I would contact ADF or even Michael Marcavage of www.repentamerica.com.

Can't imagine that they make the college students take out a insurance bond when the use the area. It's either a free speech area or it isn't. They can't limit that to only folks they do not want to hear from.
Not sure about the mall, depends on state law. In Oklahoma, they can require something like that as the malls or considered private property.

The bond is required of outside orgs that want to use the free speech areas due to the possibility of someone getting hurt/sued/feelings bent.....etc. ad nauseum. I don't think it is legal and if I have enough feedback in that area I will hire a lawyer to challenge the same.
