Paul Jacob Indicted in Outrageous Political Ploy to Quell Citizen Initiative Rights
Paul Jacob, the Sam Adams Foundation’s Senior Advisor, has worked tirelessly for years to promote and protect the citizen initiative process. Today he was rewarded for his efforts, however, with an outrageous and baseless indictment from Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson, who is abusing the law to suppress the initiative process-and slander Paul’s name in the process.
This is an outrage, not only for Paul Jacob, but for citizens across the country who have dared to assert their right to have a say in their government.
“This indictment unsealed today is not about the law, but rather 100 percent politically motivated. This is politics-very ugly politics,” Paul said in a statement
the state of Oklahoma seems bent on silencing citizens through harassment and intimidation, threats and coercion. The goal is to silence me, and to frighten you, from petitioning our government.”
“This is about daring to use initiatives-they just want to shut this process down,” said Bob Costello, the Sam Adams Foundation president.
Daniel Jackson says:
