Three years ago, the city that I live in demanded an inspections inside of my home to verify that I did not have a sump pump.

No problem, all they have to do was to provide me with a legal search warrant.

Since I refused to compromise on my Constitutional rights, the city fined me $100 per month.

No problem, I responded in the best way possible: I ran for City Council in the next election!

It was amazing how rapidly the city refunded my money.

I lost the election, but that was not my intention. Every single person who had voted for that vile city ordnance, was removed from office.

Since I was running for office, the city could not prevent me from speaking in public to my fellow citizens.

I achieved my goal.

You rock. All politics are local. I have a little story about a racoon, an elected animal control officer, a city provided humane trap, and ethelyne glycol. Long story short, the racoon died, and the dog-catcher got replaced.
