Oklahoma Republicans celebrated wildly, last November. But not so many are still as happy, this summer. The Oklahoma senate had just 6 Democrats. But Liberal ideology infects the majority & flows richly down the aisles of the chamber. The House leadership became an oxymoron. What started out looking like a great opportunity, turned into a complete apostasy with several unconstitutional affronts thrown in. Fallin came out of the closet and showed her liberal cravings for govt. growth. The first female governor has the very legacy she ran against 20 years ago. There is a serious need for political reform, but it will not come from the party leadership and it certainly does not come from the leadership of any branch of state govt. Only the equivalent of 'peasants with pitchforks' have the ability to exact the needed reforms. Filing for elections is still more than 6 months away, but several people are already considering a run. It will take passionate and principled conservatism. It will take money. It will take volunteers, It will take studies, meetings, self-educating, and disciplined structure to make a difference next spring. |
Not everyone is in position to run for office, but everyone is in position to help someone they believe in. There needs to be a commitment from all to get a better govt. on all levels. But it starts now. If you wait until April, it will be too late.
