ADF, city of Wildwood officials settle case involving free speech rights

CAMDEN, N.J. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys have obtained a settlement from city of Wildwood officials that will allow citizens to distribute religious literature on public sidewalks, in parks, and in all other public forums without obtaining a permit.  ADF attorneys filed a federal lawsuit against the city in January after a Christian man was told he would need to obtain a permit before sharing his message on a local boardwalk.
