Plaintiff Gary Mosher residing at 147 Ironia Rd City of Mendham County of Morris State of New Jersey, complaining of defendant, states as follows:
1. On October 17, 2005 , Plaintiff initiated written correspondence with officials of the Defendant Township Of Mendham regarding an interest in providing content for the TV 25 cable access channel. In the weeks previous to this correspondence Plaintiff had made no less than three efforts to volunteer services to the production of the cable channel by contacting, by telephone, relevant oversight authorities. (including the Township Administrator). Plaintiff left messages on answering/recording devices and with the Township Clerk personally. No offer to volunteer services--as directed by Township websites solicitations-- received any reply from Township personal.
In later communications town personnel indirectly acknowledge receiving the November 15th communication ...but during the weeks directly after the communication no reaction or reply was received.
During this same period of time the Plaintiff had become aware of the fact that Township personnel were not updating their online archive of meeting minutes with any useful regularity. The standard had become a two or three month delay in the posting of meeting summaries. It was Plaintiff's conclusion that it was in his own, and the public, interest to attempt to fix this circumstance by producing his own summaries of committee meetings-- A service he was already providing regarding Borough council meetings. Over the past years the plaintiff had offered the Township free assistance in keeping their website more usefully current, but those polite, sincere, and completely selfless offers were always rejected-- leaving the plaintiff no alternative but to act independently rather than cooperatively.
Beginning on or about 12/3/05 and ending with a January 9, 2006 letter from attorneys representing the Township, the Plaintiff engaged in a correspondence with Township personnel regarding access to public documents, ADA accommodations, and access to the Channel 25 facilities and audience. Through this correspondence Township officials defined and imposed policies with "deliberate, discriminatory, and malicious intent" that compromised and violated the civil (statutory and constitutionally protected) rights of the plaintiff.
The defendant in this action is The Township Of Mendham -- Mendham Township Municipal Offices,
P.O. Box 520, Brookside, NJ 07926 in the County of Morris State of New Jersey.
2. Plaintiff is entitled to relief from defendant under the above facts.
3. The harm that occurred as a result of defendant's acts include:
Obviously apparent damages the Plaintiff has endured is wasted time, and aggravation. A less exactly perceivable-- but Plaintiff would claim more substantial--damage incurred, is the painful loss of a sense of citizenship and the destruction of the private property that is an individual's self-made destiny. Although the "private enterprise" of the Plaintiff is not commercial in nature, that enterprise is no less real or less entitled to legal respect as a valuable commodity. In simple truth, the defendants have denied the Plaintiff useful control over, the useful value of, the enterprise that is his personal initiative without legal right, and in fact by violating laws, without any mitigating reasonable justification.
Although the plaintiff would argue he has endured a substantial personal harm the more substantial crime committed by the defendants is the harm they have perpetrated against the rule of law, and the Constitution of the United States. The federal government and the state of New Jersey have enacted legislation intended to protect and empower people with disabilities, or otherwise weak or vulnerable populations-- the actions of the defendant's show a disregard or contempt for that law that cannot be left endorsed without appropriate correction. Similarly the defendants have shown contempt for the sacred law and principles that underpins our very civilization-- this damage defies approximation -- as it erodes the very notion of justice used to evaluate meaning and worth. In practical fact the defendants have attacked the core principles that are America and no level of contempt for their treason can be deemed excessive... when something so vital and precious has been so recklessly and maliciously put at risk.
Wherefore, plaintiff requests judgment against defendant for damages, together with attorney's fees, if applicable, costs of suit, and any other relief as the court may deem proper.
I certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any
of the foregoing statements are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.
