Civil Rights Attorney, Frank Urbanic, is our 2020 Citizen of the year for his efforts to hold state and local govt to respect and defend the federal & state Constitutions in their official duties.
In a year like none other, 2020 is a memory we are all destined to never forget(sadly). But in times of trial, peril, and tyranny, those who remind us of our civilization's founding principles are especially to be valued. Those who rise up to champion the cause of individual liberty, societal virtue, and advancement of prosperity; they are to be esteemed. When we knew so little about a global virus from a Chinese laboratory, our nation had to revisit our founding principles and put them to the test. When Governor Stitt first ordered a ban on large gatherings of people, Frank Urbanic researched official state documents and discovered some very troubling data. Urbanic published a blog post on his law firm's website, indicating that the governor seemed to have essentially declared that a state of widespread riot is endangering the state. At least that is the implication of the Attorney general's legal notices. SoonerPolitics reposted the article on Thursday, April 2nd, and within hours the governor changed course and properly invoked a "Health Emergency Act" declaration, & submitting a request of the legislature to grant him 30 days of special powers with legislative oversight. As those 30 days came to an end, the governor was celebrated nationally as an example of how a state gets back up on it's feet and thriving. |
