Going to jail for what you believe

Two interesting things happened recently.

Everybody's favorite liberal, Michael Moore, was going to be arrested and prosecuted for buying votes. He was going to give slackers clean underwear and ramen noodles for voting in the upcoming election. The Michigan GOP (fuck Michigan) decided that this was against the law and tried to prosecute, but the prosecuter said that this was not in his interest, and he would prefer to put the drug dealers and murderers behind bars.

Better yet is a case of an actual arrest. Badnarik and Cobb, Libertarian and Green presidential candidates respectively, were arrested at the Presidential debates on Friday. They were trying to serve papers to the debate commission, and crossed the police barricade attempting to do so. They were thus arrested.
