Exclusive: Paul Jacob Speaks Out Today in Oklahoma City
OKPNS had the privilege of interviewing Paul Jacob today after his scheduling-hearing in Oklahoma City. Paul Jacob, along with Susan Johnson, and Rick Carpenter, now called the "Oklahoma 3" have been indicted on felony charges of violating Oklahoma's statute requiring petition circulators to be residents of Oklahoma. Jacob and the others are denying the charges.
The preliminary hearing will be July 23, 2008, at the Oklahoma County Courthouse, and Jacob is encouraging anyone who lives within driving distance to be there to defend the Oklahoma 3, and support the voter initiative process.
Paul Jacob talks about his Save the Initiative Blog Tour, and what supporters within Oklahoma and nationwide can do to not only save the Oklahoma 3, but also the ballot initiative process. He says he doesn't feel the media has done an adequate job of covering this topic, and that it is up to the bloggers to get the word out:
