Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty within the Republican Party.

On Dec. 18, a unanimous 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down as unconstitutional Oklahoma’s law that bans non-residents from circulating petitions to place proposals on the ballot in that state.

The ruling is another vindication for Paul Jacob – a friend of the RLC who spoke at its 2006 national convention in Orlando — and the rest of the Oklahoma 3 who are facing felony prosecution under the law.

“It appears the Oklahoma 3 received an early Christmas present and [Attorney General Drew] Edmondson got his well-deserved chunk of coal,” said Oklahoma State Sen. Randy Brogdon.

The views expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect official positions of the RLC.
