THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

If you never call your elected representatives about anything, call them about this one.

Yesterday a good man went to jail for fulfilling a contract to clear drainage bed that protects a neighborhood from flooding for two months out of the year.

The judge in the case expressly forbid the jury to consider the more than 20 years of evidence when considering the case. This whole thing just boggles the mind. He was actually found guilty of releasing pollutants into waters of the United States. The 'releasing' was actually just the fact that he would pull dead trees, built up sand and rocks out of the dry riverbed (only flooded 2 months out of the year) and they 'suppose' that some of that debris may trickle back into the stream bed. Huh? That's right. He was also found guilty of polluting a spawning ground for trout. Of course, there are no fish in THIS DRY RIVER accept for two months out of the year and only for seasonal flooding.

This is the craziest thing EVER! The man's name is Lynn Moses. Read the story and please, call your elected officials and ask them to look into this.

His wife died of a heart attack over a year ago(stress from this case no doubt contributed). His daughter is 17. He has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
