3. Program Jan. 20: Rep. Lewis Moore, REAL ID & Earthquakes
Our speaker this Wednesday at noon at Mama Roja will be Representative Lewis Moore (R-Arcadia). Rep. Moore will talk about Oklahoma’s refusal to comply with Washington’s unconstitutional REAL ID Act. At some point a state must be willing to suffer the consequences of denying the Beast. If time permits, Moore may also address what the Legislature is considering in relation to Oklahoma earthquakes.
4. Deadly Discrimination Against Foster Parents
Writing for The New American, Steve Byas explains that the state of Oklahoma egregiously infringes on the rights of citizens to defend themselves through the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS). Specifically, OKDHS places additional restrictions on foster parents that do not apply to other parents. He rightly points out that if the state can reason having guns is dangerous to foster kids, then the logic must be the same for natural born children. To be consistent the state will eventually move toward banning all guns. One family has sued because of this discrimination and violation of rights, and this will be an important case to watch. Of course, the Oklahoma Legislature, if it so chose, could fix this problem with a simple directive to OKDHS.
5. Oklahoma Sheriff Says Go Get Guns
The Sheriff of Creek County, John Davis, has used his authority to reduce the cost of getting a concealed carry permit. He wants the cost to be as low as possible so that everyone who can and should carry will be able to do so. He is a wise man.
County Sheriff is an elected position which often gets overlooked by average citizens and activists, especially in a big election year. Being qualified for sheriff should include more than experience wearing a uniform and carrying a gun and handcuffs. Find out if your candidates for sheriff believe in self-defense first or police-defense first. Find out if your candidates for sheriff will take federal money to advance federal programs which have not been authorized by local law and proper authority.
6. Pastor v. Politician
Pastor James Taylor is running against Politician Tom Cole for Congress. Year after year Cole is the most liberal Congressman from Oklahoma, as measured by The Freedom Index. He sometimes scores even more liberal than some Demonrats. After beginning his career down in the communist cellar at 33%, he has managed to pull his average up to 52%. This says more about the pressure and principles of conservatives in the state of Oklahoma than it does about Cole’s principles. It is time for Tom to retire.
