On Saturday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend – always a good time to sign incredibly unpopular legislation to roll back the rights and freedoms of the people and derail their ability to self-govern – Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt happily and quietly signed SB 1027 into law.
Known around here as the Oklahoma Citizen Petition Oppression Act, the controversial piece of legislation will make it even more difficult, if not impossible, for any group to gather enough signatures to put a petition initiative on the Oklahoma ballot and up for a statewide vote.
Basically, Governor Kevin Stitt – along with his ass-faced buddy Lonnie Paxton and incest-faced buddy David Bullard – has all but ensured that the citizen-led measures that brought us medical marijuana, Medicaid expansion, criminal justice reform, and anti-corruption transparency laws will never see the light of day again.
