UPDATED: Reminder to Vote in Local Elections on Tuesday February 10th!
Lots of people forget these local elections, but they are some of the most important and can cost you a lot in taxes if you don’t say no to bonds and ongoing indebtedness. So this is your reminder to GO VOTE and SAY NO to bonds and continuing sales taxes every chance you get!
Some voters will have Board of Education primary elections and/or municipal races on the ballot. Others may have school and/or municipal propositions. County questions will be decided in Johnston, Latimer, and Woodward counties. Meanwhile, voters in Creek, Noble, Osage, Pawnee and Payne counties have a House District 35 Special Election. Huge bonds and sales tax extensions in Washington County.
The Dangers of 5G
I may be listed as the author of this piece, but a fellow named Joe Esposito taught me nearly everything I know on this matter. I shall never forget the day (May 14, 2025), that he came over to my house dressed in strange protective gear and insisted we sit on the porch to visit and move phones and devices away from where we sat. Not so ‘they’ couldn’t hear us, but because Joe was severely injured by radar exposure years ago. He sleeps in a faraday cage and tests device outputs for others. These devices are dangerous for us all – some more visibly apparent than others.

The Rock, Paper, Scissors of Corruption: How Leadership is Killing Your Constitutional Rights
SQ 840 ends this Rock, Paper, Scissors game. We’ve all been there: You ask a committee chairman to hear a bill, and he tells you to talk to the Floor Leader. The Floor Leader says it’s the Pro Tem’s call. The Pro Tem tells you to go back to the chairman. It is a circular runaround designed to avoid blame while the state’s problems worsen.

Emergency Powers Bill (SB 862)
By Casey Wooley (Vice Chairman of Congressional District 5 for the OKGOP)
I am reaching out to ask for your support for Senate Bill SB 862, also known as the Emergency Powers Bill, currently being considered in the Oklahoma State Senate.
This bill is designed to ensure that unconstitutional mandates like those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic never happen again in our state. The bill clearly defines the constitutional role of government during emergencies and disasters, prohibits government actions that subvert constitutional rights, and establishes penalties for violations. The bill is only 3 pages long.

Real ID: Another Government Frankenstein
Some believe that government welfare benefits to the poor were created with good intentions, but they became a monster, nonetheless —destroying lives, marriages, and families, because they created dependency on Government, took away individual freedom, and gave a distant government control over the finances of the most vulnerable among us. We know that government healthcare for the poor was also done with stated ‘good’ intentions, but it became a monster—creating personal healthcare dependency on a remote massive bureaucracy, taking away personal freedom to control one’s own health care decisions, and increasing opportunities for medical malpractice and corruption due to a lack of government accountability. The stated ‘good’ intentions of using government to produce an ID system that is designed for international applications is another monster on the government’s operating table ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting public.

OKGrassroots is excited to announce that we and other liberty groups across Oklahoma are working to build a coalition to speak with unity and grade legislator’s performance of protecting our God-given rights.

Thanksgiving Blessings and Historical Proclamation from George Washington in 1789
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor – and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
David Crockett, Charity and Congress aka “Not Yours to Give”
I was one day in the lobby of the House of Representatives when a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support, rather, as I thought, because it afforded the speakers a fine opportunity for display than from the necessity of convincing anybody, for it seemed to me that everybody favored it. The Speaker was just about to put the question, when Crockett arose. Everybody expected, of course, that he was going to make one of his characteristic speeches in support of the bill. He commenced:

Pornography in our Schools – Update on Bartlesville School Board meeting
We had a good turnout of people interested in the subject of removing pornographic books from our school libraries – most seats in the Education Service Center were occupied. Superintendent Chuck McCauley allowed comments to be made at the start of the meeting on topics not on the agenda. Under the Board rules no questions could be asked by the Board members and no discussion of the topic could occur. However, we had three excellent speakers.
The first speaker emphasized that the Board’s existing Procedures for Reconsideration of Materials was inadequate when 103 books (140 books when counting duplicates among libraries) in Bartlesville School libraries have been identified as either pornographic or containing sexualized content. This speaker also stressed that the existing challenge procedure was deficient in that it did not address how to assure more pornographic/sexualized books would be kept out of our school libraries.
The second speaker, a parent of two teenagers in the Bartlesville School system, questioned why Board members would protect their own children from such material but allow it to be put on the shelves of school libraries. He challenged the Board members to treat his school age children well.
The third speaker presented a riveting testimony of the consequences of pornography in our schools. Her story of a young man who “lived out what he read on the pages” of school library books and subsequently was sentenced to 65 years in prison for his offenses against five women, dramatically demonstrated that school board actions, or lack thereof, with regard to pornography has real life consequences.
Updated: Mass Surveillance – Gann Studies License Plate Readers Impact on Privacy
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Tom Gann, R-Inola, on Thursday led a study on the use of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) and what he said is their use as a tool for mass surveillance allowing law enforcement to conduct warrantless searches. The study was held before the House Public Safety Committee.
This article shares the results of that study in a press release from Rep Tom Gann.
Why EVERYONE should Oppose SQ 836 – Decline to Sign!
The initiative petition for State Question 836 has started circulating as of Oct. 29th. Don’t sign it, and if a petitioner approaches you ask why they call it an open primary when it’s a Top Two jungle primary, why they say it’s like our municipal elections when it isn’t, why they say it will improve voter turnout when it won’t, why they claim it increases voter choice when it will reduce choice for most voters, why they want a system that helps those who already have power and money, why they want a system that is prone to shenanigans and easily influenced by special interests and dark money, and why they want a system that will increase polarization and work to preserve the status quo.
