Sooner Politics is a free speech exercise

SoonerPolitics.org is a citizen journalism project. We believe that Freedom of the Press is not reserved just for professional media. It is the individual's right to publish and distribute his free speech.
Our journalists volunteer their efforts, but our web & media expenses add up. We believe some expenses are worth it and we believe you'll help us as you are able.
This resource is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform.
A well-informed electorate is accomplished when we have excellence in our professional media, but sometimes we, the citizens, need to fill in the gaps they miss. And once in a while we need to set the record straight and get the job done when the professional media opposes the outcome. This endeavor seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement...
Please give as you can, so that our work can continue, uninterrupted. We don't ever want to charge a fee for this. Web and publishing fees total about $400 per year.

Thank you,
David Van Risseghem
SoonerPolitics Publisher

David Van Risseghem is the Director of Sooner Politics.org. The resource is committed to informing and mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform. This endeavor seeks to utilize the collective efforts of all cooperative factions of the Conservative movement.

We utilize our constitutional rights as individuals, as media outlets, and as a faith exercise.

We get involved in local, state, national and global issues.This is not a committee, corporation, or co-op union.

We look forward to working with the civic-minded people around us, to build a better future for those who come after us.

Submit

Policy of included Sources

1)
The spectrum of Conservative vision will have diverse manifestations. Solid reasoning is expected and clarity of expressed values is to be appreciated.

Any feed's appearance on the SoonerPolitics.org website should not be construed to be representing any expressed position of Soonerpolitics.org, it's directors, or staff, or any of the other sources of content.
2) Relevance and timeliness is essential to everyone. We will incrementally place feeds based on how often the publications post material pertinent to Oklahoma civic life.
We welcome the public to suggest source feeds and ideas for the further development of SoonerPolitics.org. The contact form is the best way to communicate back to us.

3) Endorsements are an inevitable reality. A writer may express a preference prior to an election. We do value objectivity in the feed's overall presentation. Sooner Politics.org would like to see a feed's editorial endorsement stay confined to a succinct post of a clear endorsement rather than subliminally oozing from the words and illustrations of endless puff posts.

4) This policy is not a contract with content sources. SoonerPolitics.org is striving to stay away from the traps of 'the love of mammon'. If an RSS code is found at a web source, the presumption of approval exists for anyone to share that information openly. This is not a fiduciary agreement with any feed source and not an admission that a monetary consideration is being conceded or demanded.

5) We do our best to promote our sources. We want multitudes of readers to 'click through' and bookmark the source's web locations.
If our posted links of headlines and snippets is a clear offense to a source feed, then a clear and direct notification will suffice to result in our timely response. We don't want to continue publishing source feeds who don't want to be cooperating with SoonerPolitics.org.

6) Conservatism is a term with endless possible definitions. We will do our best to be guided by our best understanding off what it means to be conservative in civic matters.
We expect there to be disputes. But we expect fellow conservatives to honor the source's civic motivation even when they disagree with each other's views. Apathy is a much greater danger to freedom than the free thought of a good citizen.

Sooner Politics is a group of committed Oklahoma civic volunteers who seek to promote traditional values of faith, family, and freedom.
We are concerned about growing initiatives to undermine the principles which have been a foundation of our great way of life.
We encourage fellow citizens to get involved in neighborhood, community, and political organizations, to make a better world by remembering the values we were taught and sharing them with those around you.

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.
