Paul Jacob, known most for having fought unfair ballot initiative laws in Oklahoma, presented the Modern-Day Sam Adams award to Ari Armstrong publisher of freecolorado.com.
Jacobs was threatened with 10 years in prison because he forced the Oklahoma legislature to face its illicit ballot initiative rules in 2005. He was finally exonerated in 2008. Since then the Oklahoma legislature has begun the long road to changing its overly restrictive ballot laws.
Thus ended the awards. I will have some final thoughts a little later when I get back home and have time to put some thoughts down.
