Gov. Stitt Sets Monday Meeting To Find Fixes For Medical Marijuana

5/29/2020

0 Comments

 

Kevin Stitt will meet with key legislative leaders to weigh options for matters that cannot wait til next February.

 We have secured a meeting between the governor's office and legislative leaders who are seeking to fix statutory mistakes which would otherwise result in the closure of several family-owned shops and farms which lawfully provide cannabis medicines to Oklahoma patients.
the day went well and we were met with several pleasant surprises.
  1. Senator Roger Thompson will partner with Rep. Fetgatter to shepherd the legislative reforms through the entire legislative process.
  2. Gov. Stitt will engage the leadership's team, in both houses, to find solutions via statutory and regulatory means.
  This could only happen when the family businesses and patients join together for real engagement in the process at every level.

Listen to the podcast, here.

Fetgatter & Thompson Commit To Lead For Farmers & Shops

5/29/2020

0 Comments

 
  We were met by a great group of Oklahomans, at the state capitol. Farmers, Shop owners, patients, and advocates; all went with Rep. Scott Fetgatter & myself; when we delivered several letters to the governor's office.
  We want leadership and we want the governor to be a leader.
  Afterward, Rep. Fetgatter gave us a 'ground zero' tour of the House chamber. He stood by the podium and make some remarks to the group. We also asked pertinent questions.
  Fetgatter also gave us some big announcements, including a commitment from Senator Roger Thompson, to be a Senate partner with Fetgatter, in bringing sensible reforms for the patients and those who provide them safe medicines.
  Fetgatter also laid to rest some lingering fears about his pilot program to see if a THC breathalyzer can really work, and be a fair assessment of impairment for drivers.

I'm asking for the governor to call a special session for the purpose of saving a major economic sector from massive business failures.
We need real leadership at the capitol.

Join me there, and let's do lunch afterward. (dutch treat).

The Special Session To Save Family Farms

5/27/2020

0 Comments

 
  The possibility exists to provide everyone an opportunity to get a substantial and meaningful victory in this impasse. With a media campaign in the wings, we'll express to the governor a willingness to work on a solution he can support, then seek the legislative support to get it passed before any unnecessary economic disaster happens.
  If we can get consensus on a meaningful set of reforms, a special session can happen in less than a week and perhaps less than 2 hours of floor voting.
  Family farms and small family owned shops make up most of the Oklahoma medicinal program. Yet  it generates hundreds of millions in govt revenue. That's money and jobs that Oklahoma desperately needs to save!

Paxton Exposed: But Override Remains Doable

  Ron Catches Paxton In More Lies!
"​Oh sir. Oh no. You have not learned? I always knew you couldn’t be trusted. Until 7:12 when you sent this message, you were in the clear. We didn’t have confirmation that you had turned tail like McCortney.
This was a poorly timed and poorly decided message to send. I call you a liar sir. You lied to the people that talked to you on Friday. Hell sir, you lied to your own caucus then if this is your position.
​ You should work on getting your house in this order, or more appropriate in this case, your Senate. I want to thank you and Senator McCortney for exposing the truth. Thank you, I genuinely mean that."

McCortney Exposes Himself

5/26/2020

  Live at 7:00 PM to discuss current whip count, McCortney’s flip flopping, and other matters.

​Senator Thompson is a confirmed YES. It would be 7 left to go, but McCortney not shockingly flipped. So 8 to go!Should be interesting. Please, keep trying to reach out to Senators. Senator Kidd, Senator Radar, and Senator Thompson are now confirmed YES votes. I think that leaves 5 needed, but 7 would be better since we can’t depend on Senate Leadership’s prior word.
Another post about McCortney because it’s important to see how things have changed with him. He was a yes (see below). Now he is a no (see below). Greg, what changed? What were you promised or told? Inquiring minds would like to know.

 Senator Bergstrom out clearly in favor of a veto override. He even says he called Treat and was told by Treat they don’t have anywhere close to the votes. I’m going to update the count at 7:00, but sure looks close to me. Throw Senator Bergstrom and our other yes votes some love please!!!
Thanks to the Oklahoma Cannabis Industry Association and Bud Scott for coming out in support of HB3228 by encouraging Senators to override Governor Stitt’s Veto. As I’ve said, it’s time to put egos aside. It’s important to come together to support the critical fixes in HB3228, and working together is the only hope we have. It’s a long shot, but it’s not too late. So thanks OCIA for taking a stand.

Sunday Update For Senate Passage of HB3228

5/24/2020

0 Comments

 

Listen to the podcast, here.

Picture
Want to know why Stitt vetoed HB3228 and Senator Treat won’t call it for a veto override? If so, join me at 12:30 for a live update from this page. It’s time for part 2.5 of the fight to somehow save HB3228. I should mention, you are going to be pissed when you learn why. If you know a dispensary owner, you need to get them to hear this because the veto of HB3228 may well kill their business, and they don’t even know it yet.
-side note: for those that think my strategy of being aggressive is the wrong move, please come with your plan to save this bill and not wait a year while we watch businesses close and patients suffer. We would also love to hear all the work you are putting in other than trying to tear me down on Facebook. We are all ears waiting for your brilliant plan.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
