Folks, please help if you can. This is very representative of the seizure and forfeiture stories we get almost every day from victims. Please take the time to read his story he posted to the web at http://www.geocities.com/pvmoor/index.html .

This is America today! Why is it in such a mess? Because the citizens of America let it happen. The citizens allowed the horrendous "USA-Patriot" act to pass and now the "Homeland Security Act". The politicians are only doing what they are allowed to get away with.
