If truth-in-advertising laws apply there, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson should change the friendly billboards welcoming visitors to the state in its centennial year. The revised copy should say: “Welcome to Oklahoma (Unless you favor taxpayer rights and political speech, in which case you may go to prison).” Edmondson wants three taxpayers rights activists incarcerated for the dastardly crime of encouraging Oklahomans to sign a petition for a referendum on a proposed Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR). The proposal would protect residents against surreptitious efforts by politicians to raise taxes. We can’t imagine why Edmondson would oppose a TABOR vote by the same Oklahomans who sent a certified anti-tax-and-spender like Tom Coburn to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
