House Committee Passes Bill To Enforce Constitutional Rights In City Parks

2/25/2019

Comments

 
  The Oklahoma legislature took swift action, today; to give direction to municipalities regarding city parks and individual self defense rights. The language of HB2010 assures that individuals can legally keep and bear arms on all publicly accessed property, but allows communities to require concealment of those arms in specific places or circumstances.
  Rep. Gary Mize and Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols teamed up to convince the committee to vote in unanimous affirmation  The senate is set to vote on Echols' Consealed Carry bill ( HB2597 ).
  Moms & Dads can now retain their sense of security while taking their children to the park. Previously, many who needed an emergency order of protection were afraid to go out in public places where they had concerns for the safety of themselves or their children, from specific persons whom had previously threatened violence upon them.
  Some wanted these parks to be easy prey for criminals who would then be assured that good citizens would be unarmed.  The NRA, OK2A, and the cities of Tulsa & OKC all collaborated on the language of this bill.

House Leadership Files Medical Marijuana Overhaul Bill

2/20/2019

Comments

 
  Nearly 8 months after the Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly passed a medical marijuana initiative petition, the legislature is now reviewing the language of a bill which would bring more clarity to the new law.
  Rep. Jon Echols (R-OKC) filed a committee substitute to his previously filed 'shell bill', HB2612. The substance of the bill is the product of unanimous support from the Bicameral Interim Study Group on Medical Marijuana. The group convened last July when the Oklahoma Department of Health inforced several egregious emergency rules which violate the constitutional limits of their authority.
  The District Attorneys are still investigating bribery allegations and other frauds committed by the Health Dept. and other agencies, who were trying to hamper or destroy the law which the voters enacted constitutionally.
  A coalition of patient groups, business associations, and civil rights advocates worked with the Interim study group to bring clarity to the very loosely-written law.
  From that document, Interim Study co-chair, Jon Echols, further honed the document and last Wednesday the group added about 20 other amendments before unanimously recommending the legislation to the legislature.

Unions Begin Legislative Assault On Public  Charter Schools

2/11/2019

Comments

 
  The Oklahoma Teachers Unions are now beginning their sabotage offensive against the state's best and fastest-growing public education institutions.... the statewide virtual charter schools.
 Tomorrow the House Education Committee will likely call for passage of HB1395. It just one more layer of the same oppressive mountain of govt. regulations which now burden our traditional school districts.  While no single point of this bill will effectively end charter schools, it will have the same accumulative effect that a snow-laden mountain's avalanche has when the little village in the lower valley is wiped out. Not one single snowflake takes responsibility for any deaths, but gathered together, they bring swift & eminent death.
  The unions, administrators, and parents would do well to call for greater deregulation of all schools, so that the education process can be streamlined with 21st century innovations and provide each student a customized public education for about half the cost.
  That's what our virtual charter schools already do. And the Epic Charter Schools are the highest paid teachers in the state, earning compensations averaging $64,000 each year.
  Urge your lawmakers to begin the process of liberating our administrators from the ridiculous thousands of regulations they now have to comply with. We can have the best teachers in the nation, and pay them the best in the nation, if we would adopt just some of the core operational structure of the virtual public charter schools. 
Picture
 But instead, Rep. Sheila Dills and a whole host of new politicians who are owned by the education unions are determined to take down the charter schools which are humiliating their faculties and enrolling their former students.

Advocacy Toolbox: Contact List For All Legislators

2/5/2019

Comments

 
Connecting with the legislature is more effective than most citizens will ever know. 
Lawmakers find it difficult to truly make wise decisions on policy unless they know the impact it has on the people whose lives are impacted.
  Sometimes a major decision will come down to a sincere and authentic contact by just one ordinary resident of the state.
That could be you and it could change your live and the lives of so many others.
 Be sure to talk with your own legislator, but also the members of a committee hearing bills that impact how you live.

The First Wave Of Cannabis Medicine Bills Go To Senate Committees

2/5/2019

Comments

 
analysis by David Van Risseghem: 
  The voters of Oklahoma created a political earthquake, last June, when they finally succeeded in a major state policy change. Cannabis medicines are now wrestled away from the controls of a nanny-state collection of cops and medical fascists.
Now the legislators are striking back. 
  Here are just a few of the 57 bills already written, filed, and assigned to committees.
SB763 by Sen. McCortney is very dangerous to patient privacy. It sets monthly caps on THC accumulative purchases. It would enable the OMMA to require dispensaries to report & keep a record of each & every purchase.
  It would also set us up for a ban on home-grow because that would render the restrictions as unenforceable.
SB764 More from Sen. McCortney. He wants your other healthcare providers to know all about your Cannabis Med referral. That way you can get kicked off Pain Meds.
  And all along I thought HIPPA was supposed to secure your health privacy. Ends up, it assures the govt. the complete access to your privacy, and the right to share your health info with whoever they decide to.

Tulsa World Posts 40 Bills To Watch

2/3/2019

Comments

 
The Tulsa World perused through many of the 2800 new pieces of legislative proposals. Very few of them had any repealing language. Most of them are an attack on liberty and prosperity.
  Bills proposed for 2019 in Oklahoma: Constitutional carry, opioid prescription changes and punishing striking teachers
  • Oklahoma legislators filed more than 2,800 bills and joint resolutions for the upcoming session. 
  • The total included 1,733 House bills, 1,040 Senate bills, 21 House joint resolutions and the same number of Senate joint resolutions.
  • Joint resolutions are the usual measures being referred to a vote of the people.
  • More than 300 shell bills were prefiled by House Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka. Shell bills contain no substantive language and come into play only if new language is inserted during the legislative process. 
  • Appropriations bills are not subject to the deadline and typically aren’t filed until a budget is agreed upon.
