Hooah! That’s right! The effort to protect citizen rights is an ongoing struggle. Congratulations for winning your battle in Oklahoma! I spent a number of years posted at Ft. Sill and am glad to hear justice and patriotism is alive and well in the Sooner State! Now, keep us Cornhuskers in your thoughts as we build on your success and launch an campaign for Initiative rights in the State of Nebraska. Go Big Red!

[...] “Edmondson says he had no choice but to persecute these three citizen activists for the crime of helping Oklahomans petition their government—no choice, if he is to ‘uphold the law,’ but to try to jail them for 10 years,” Reynolds said. “Now, the Supreme Court has not ruled that lethal injections are cruel and unusual punishment. It has merely agreed to review the challenge. So if the attorney general believes that he should not act on cases while a legal challenge is ongoing that could affect Oklahoma, why is he rushing to destroy the lives of three good people, but not rushing to carry out the sentences of convicted murderers? Seeking 10 years in prison for individuals acting in best-faith efforts to satisfy a murky residency requirement seems pretty flimsy.” [...]

Comment on Paul’s latest radio interview by David

David — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:51:00 +0000

From Rick’s writeup, re the power of bloggers:

One of the points that Paul makes in the last few minutes of the
interview is that, unlike decades past, local political news can now become nationally prominent because, especially, bloggers write about it and draw attention to it. Public officials in Oklahoma can no longer misbehave and assume that citizen activists in Virginia won’t hear about it — or complain about it. So true.

Paul also explains, just before the end of the program, what Virginia
voters can do to see that our laws are changed to allow citizen
initiative in this state, a privilege enjoyed by voters in 24 other states but not in the Commonwealth. He says that voters should simply insist that politicians — who hold all the cards now — promise to pursue a constitutional amendment to permit citizens to initiate legislation that politicians refuse to consider because it adversely affects their (the politicians’, not the voters’) interests.

[...] Anyone who knows Paul knows that he is a thoughtful and decent soul who deeply believes in freedom and the rule of law. BISC’s smear campaign—which scrupulously evades cardinal facts that are also scrupulously evaded in Edmondson’s indictment—won’t work. It might prove adept at churning out talking points for persons as wantonly dishonest as the BISCquickers themselves. But it can’t persuade anyone honestly concerned with rights, truth, and liberty, constitutional rights, and what actually happened in the Oklahoma TABOR petition drive. [...]

[...] It’s worse than what’s noted above, however. Edmondson knows darn well that the interpretative court decision he cites as justification for prosecuting the OK3 was handed down after the allegedly criminal involvement by Jacob, Johnson, and Carpenter in the petition drive and after they had secured relevant advice about the residency status of the petition circulators from the Oklahoma secretary of state’s office. The OK3 had every reason to believe that they were following the law. (See Paul Jacob’s explanation of the background of the case.) [...]
