If you’re an America loving patriot who loves our freedom and honors the men and women who serve in the military to preserve it, this story will make you outraged.
Under Obama, a 78-year-old man named Joe Robertson, who was retired from the Navy, was prosecuted, sent to prison for 18 months beginning in 2016, and fined a whopping $130K…all for digging ponds on his property to fight forest fires.
Robertson and his wife owned a fire fighting business and lived out in rural Montana near a forest prone to wildfires. He dug some small ponds around a water supply to direct the channel so he could more easily fill up his water trucks.
But, the Obama DOJ said this violated the Clean Water Act and prosecuted the poor guy.
Despite numerous appeals, Robertson served the full sentence and never got the fine lowered before his unexpected death in March of this year.
His wife, Carrie, is still appealing trying to get the fines lowered and her husband’s name cleared, since he owed much of the 130K fine at the time of his passing.
