But there are a few signal moments, and one comes when the federal government puts Tim DeChristopher on trial in Salt Lake City June 21st. Timâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bidder 70â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;pulled off one of the most creative protests against our runaway energy policy in years: He bid for the oil and gas leases on several parcels of federal land even though he had no money to pay for them, thus upending the auction. The government calls that â&#x20AC;&#x153;violating the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Actâ&#x20AC;? and thinks he should spend ten years in jail for the crime; we call it a noble act, a profound gesture made on behalf of all of us and of the future. :KHQ 7LP GLVUXSWHG WKH DXFWLRQ KH GLG VR LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;QH WUDGLWLRQ of non-violent civil disobedience that changed so many unjust laws in this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.
