An open letter to Oklahoma Republicans:
There is an amazing movement in the state of Oklahoma. Other states are taking notice. Some have their own revolutions happening as well. There is a comradery among those that would have rather stayed home and been left alone.
Unfortunately, we realized that living quiet, private lives was no longer an option as we realized those that promised to stand in the gap and speak for us were selling us out. Personally, I have been fighting for freedom in many ways for 20 years. While being a registered, voting Republican was always who I was, I chose to not involve myself in political swamps. In 2020, it became clear to most that we had to put on our military boots and head into the fray. Some of our officials helped steal elections by voting for systems that compromised election integrity. Others certified elections with problematic issues that a small child could easily see.
A plague that was engineered in China, and not an actual plague was used to take away liberty. While some of our representation stood up, many stood with tyranny. In the midst of the hysteria, voices against tyranny were not from leadership. We knew we had to stand up and fight for our own freedoms.
So, these troops joined forces. They trained, learned protocol, rules, procedure, and began communicating. The dedication has been truly inspiring. We have been taking back our communities through the brigades and making our voices known in the Republican party. We want to work with those that align with our values.
By many who preferred to leave the old system unchecked, we are called divisive. It is as if we are calling people names, putting out rogue emails and hiding, appointing committees designed to silence the counties, making up rules, ignoring resolutions, and locking committees out of scheduled meetings. Those are certainly divisive tactics. The grassroots have done none of those things. However, I would call anyone who behaves like even one of those examples divisive.
Our great Vice Chairman had a team put together a scorecard on our legislators. The team took every bill that went to the governor and graded it against the Republican platform. The scorecard exposed that our legislature is not as conservative as we would like. Personally, I wish that bills that were not allowed to be run would have been figured in. I was told they will be after the next session.
I believe that would make some of our favorites’ scores higher. I also know that much of the controversy surrounding the scorecard has to do with the fact that many of the votes were expected to be swept under the rug, and the curtain was pulled back instead. Perhaps there is validity in the argument that some of the scores could have been tweaked. It would not be enough to change the overall picture. Transparency provides accountability. Many don’t want that. I hope the quest for transparency continues.
I personally believe the scores reflect a bigger issue. Are our legislators bullied into voting for certain bills to ever be able to run one? Are there nefarious actors that need to be removed?
My Senator scored 34%. Did you know that he is the reason your mother won’t die alone in a hospital regardless of what pandemic they declare? Did you know that he personally has called hospitals not wanting to adhere to that law and fought for the people? Did you know that he is the reason your little girl will not have to play sports with a little boy regardless of what gender he wants to pretend he is? Did you know he helps other legislators get bills through for the good of liberty? In less than one minute, I overcame the score. Let’s not pretend we are not intelligent people. If candidates don’t have examples to give voters reasons to vote for them, that fault does not belong to the scorecard.
Chairman Dahm got the highest score. Vice Chairman Hill told me that he believes Dahm would have received 100% if he had not been forced to miss a few votes due to understandable circumstances. Chairman Dahm has nobly spoken of issues we can all agree on. We have a presidential campaign to focus on. We need to focus on getting patriots in our local offices. We have a fight for the innocence of our children through our schools. He has the opportunity to actually unite.
The divisive tactics must stop. Those trying to divide will continue to be ostracized from the actual freedom movement making a difference. It is of their own doing while they point fingers saying it’s everyone else.
The grassroots are uniting. We are looking for ways to unite with even the conservative establishment. We are at war with a radical left agenda that is out for blood. They want our freedom, our futures, and aren’t above taking those through our children. Transparency and accountability must be part of TRUTH.
For Freedom,
