I am sure a lot of webmasters have got a misdemeanor ticket for something in there life and I bet there are a few that have had 2-3 and never went to jail! Melissa

Melissa,
While it is BS that you did get charged, you do not want to buck the system in the Midwest. Today it is only a misdemeanor, but when they have had enough of your shenanigans, they will hit you with something hard and probably very unjust. Wait until they draft new zoning laws that will not allow you to even operate in your city. Or when they make a call to the IRS to audit you, year after year.
Yes, it's cute to get the attention you are getting and yes it was stupid for them to even charge them, but the Midwest is full of good 'ol boys who will not stop until they own your ass.
The last person I knew to buck the system in the Midwest lived in Cincinnati had their home raided... with the local news along for the raid. So my friend who had never touched a drug a day in his life all of a sudden was found with just enough cocaine to lynch him. Then the IRS audited him. They did almost 20k worth of damage to his home during the raid when they busted open walls, tore up parts of the floor and even pulled SHIT back out of the toilet in case he had flushed something during the raid.
You will do what you feel you need to do, but the next time when something bad happens as a result, don't say some of us didn't tell you so.
But don't take MY word for it... I'm sure Larry Flynt would be more than happy to tell you a thing or two about picking fights in the bible belt.
Anyway, best of luck. It does take balls to fight back. I hope it works out in your favor.
