Citizens in Charge

Sam Adams himself presented Paul Jacob, President of Citizens in Charge Foundation, with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Technically it was the Sam Adams Alliance during their annual “Sammies” awards, and it was a Sam Adams lookalike (the founding father died quiet sometime ago).

None the less, Mr. Jacob was recognized for his courage in his recent battles in Oklahoma and for his many lifetime efforts to promote liberty and freedom throughout the United States of America.

“Paul Jacob embodies what the Sammies are all about,” said , John Tsarpalas, Preasident of the Sam Adams Alliance. “He has dedicated his life to empowering people, risking his own personal freedom as he faced malicious prosecution because he believes in citizens’ rights. For three decades he has been America’s modern day Samuel Adams.”

The presentation came as a surprise, as this was the first time the Sam Adams Alliance had ever honored anyone with this award.

Several bloggers covered the event and posted pictures and commentary about the program.
