Several grassroots 'freedom groups' are planning a major protest event at the Oklahoma State Capitol, for next week, according to Don Spencer, president of Oklahoma 2nd Amendment Association (OK2A). A Parental Rights & Health Choice group indicated that they will also have a big event announcement tonight. Some other groups including right to life, will also be participating; according to our sources.
Spencer says an announcement will be made this evening, with details. Some OK2A county chapters are holding meetings this weekend, in anticipation of the rally. Some counties are already arranging carpools and caravans. The event seems to be largely provoked by Senate Pro Temp, Greg Treat's decision to not hear a bill passed by the House with 82 cosponsors. HB 1236 pertains to state's rights in matters not involving federal constitutional jurisdiction. |
Rep. David Hardin, of Stilwell, said that this current federal administration's actions are making this legislation more necessary. Sen. Treat has not issued a statement as to why HB1236 is being denied a senate floor vote.
