Oklahoma Politicians Don't Like Opposition

In that state, only TWO of 23 filed petitions for referendums have actually been on the ballot. Those politicians have managed to stop almost every attempt by citizens to put their own petitions on the ballot and are currently trying to put three "out-of-state" petitioners in prison for TEN YEARS for being active in the petition process in Oklahoma. Ten years! Because they don't live in the state! That's even though the very law under which they want to do this is unconstitutional. This is an excellent example of how politicians ignore the Constitution and do what they want. One of the three, Paul Jacob, says they expect to win. I hope they do. Ten years is a long time to be a "political prisoner." (Common Sense)
