HOA owner not getting chance to voice opinion


Question:

Our newly appointed interim board is not allowing me to speak about my concerns and issues I have before final elections are made for the impending election of board members on April 1st. They set up a Facebook page so things could be discussed in an open forum. They set up guidelines, which I have followed. I have not made threats, I have not used any vulgar language, I have stated my concerns, asked for answers and I am being told that I am being to negative but they in-turn chaste me, delete my post within minutes because they do not want to hear or truly hear of any issues or concerns from a very concerned homeowner. I feel I am being bullied; comments are being made that attack me - defamation of me personally. I have not made any false statements nor am I trying to be disruptive... just trying to make my issues and concerns a topic of conversation among all the homeowners.

I have questioned the fact that a married couple, one wanting to be president or VP... he can't seem to make up his mind, and his wife who is acting treasurer both living in one household. I am concerned about the conflict of interest and the voting of two members while all other households are given only one vote per door. They have put in restrictions that limit who may run for a board position as to narrow down who can run and they do not want to consider putting restrictions on themselves as both living under the same roof that should and could be in the best interest of our 180 home development.

I have spoken to one other of the interim board members and he is asking for a meeting for all homeowners to be able to discuss any and all issues they may have.
The married couple and their cohorts are trying to negate this meeting and move straight to the elections. One of the cohorts is also the one administering the Facebook page and is the one deleting all my post but continues to allow the derogatory ones aimed at me to be viewed by all.

I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed, to fight this respectfully, and what are my rights as a homeowner with respect to my issues and concerns and being able to voice them.


Thank you in advance for any suggestions
