I have always lived in the United States and, although I learned about people living under dictatorships in countries such as Russia, Germany, China, Cuba, etc., I never experienced this personally. That is until now.

With all that is going on here in Baywinds, I feel that I am living under a communist regime. Look and listen to what our so-called board is doing to control every facet of our lives and activities. Wake up and realize that when you enter our gates you are giving up your freedom as you know it.

In my opinion, our board is on on a collision course with The Bill of Rights. No one gave up their rights to be free Americans when they moved here. It is time for all of us to rise up and start a recall of our board on the grounds that they have exceeded the authority given them.

Many of our residents have served this country to assure all of us that we will live free -- don't give up this right now to a group of petty tyrants. I urge all members of the community to raise their voices against this tyrannical situation.
