Living in the Light of Memorial Day
The memory of a nation matters. It matters for its life, it’s flourishing, and it’s survival. The enemies of America know this and have worked hard to erase our memory and rewrite our story. American’s seem unsure of where we came from as a nation. But every day Memorial Day is a small chance to remember that the freedoms we enjoy were paid for by the lives of courageous men and women. But more than that, it’s a reminder that freedom can and will be lost if we forget its price.
A Grassroots Analysis of Runoff Voting Systems
By Andrew Hayes
I am a strong proponent of majority vote to win systems, and 100% against plurality voting.
First a couple of definitions:
Plurality Voting: In a race with 3 or more candidates the candidate who gets the most votes wins, even if he doesn’t have a majority of the vote. Example : George 35 Thomas 33 John 31. In plurality voting, George would be declared the winner.
Majority Voting: A candidate must receive 50%+1 of the votes in order to win. So the above example would require some sort of runoff system between George and Thomas.
At one time Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) were synonymous, But what Alaska did is a completely different thing than anything I ever imagined IRV turning into. Therefore I refer to the Alaska system as RCV and the simple Instant runoff voting as the same, or IRV . But let’s begin first with some history.

The People’s Voice Was Heard at the OKGOP State Convention
Congratulations to Charity Linch, Larry Murray, Electors and RNC delegates. In reflecting on the convention, the main takeaway is the convention assembly wants our party to be one of bold action and not cheerleaders for anyone with an “R” behind their name.
Election Tallies from OKGOP State Convention
One of my passions is to have accurate elections at every level of our party. Because of that, I kept a running tally of each balloted vote we took at the OKGOP State Convention, based on what the county chairmen announced at the microphone.

Pictures from the OKGOP State Convention
The OKGOP State Convention gathered Republicans from across Oklahoma!
It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet and network with fellow Republicans, work together to advance the goals of We the People, and continue to strengthen our Party!
Final Info for OKGOP State Convention
On Friday, hundreds of Republicans from across Oklahoma will gather in Oklahoma City to participate in the OKGOP State Convention.
Why I am voting for Charity Linch for RNC Committee Woman
Let’s elect a woman who has proven she supports our values and wants to grow grassroots membership from the precinct up; a leader who supports our bottom-up structure.
Why I support Larry Murray for National Committeeman
Larry is dedicated to advancing Republican principles and leaving a freer country for our children. He has transformed the Washington County Republican Party and I know that his leadership will do the same on the National Committee.
Pam Pollard, Proxy Voting, and the Importance of Removing Legislators
During the summer of 2022, during credentialing, we started having funny-looking documents that were copies of proxies.
All these strange proxies were from elected officials all over the state, carried by one person, Pam Pollard. Another rule of the proxies was that no one could carry more than seven proxies per person. Ms. Pollard was bringing and carrying multiple proxies from legislators across the state.
Open Letter to Chairman Dahm
Dear Chairman Dahm,
Thank you for your reply to my questions concerning the overpriced registration fee for
the State Convention in May. We do understand that there are costs to conduct the Convention, but we can also do math. If only 1200 attend, similar to last year’s convention, the State GOP would make over $115,000 in registration fees. Since it is a presidential election year, attendance will certainly be higher. That should mean you can charge less, not more.
Details for the OKGOP State Convention
The OKGOP State Convention is coming up May 3-4, 2024 at Crossroads Church, 8901 S Shields Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73149. The OKGOP sent out registration links on Sunday. **NOTE: Some people did not receive the link, info below on how to fix that.
Charity Linch for National Committeewoman
I am running for National Committeewoman to lead patriots to take back their party and their country.
Take Legislators off the OKGOP State Committee!
We will have an opportunity to pass rules changes sent in from the precincts and counties to the OKGOP Rules. A rule change that many Republicans in this state are asking for is to remove the 150+ Republican legislators and elected officials from the State Committee.
Larry Murray for National Committeeman
I firmly believe that the OKGOP is by design a party run by ‘The People.’ I’ve seen the excited engagement in our county where every single precinct has functioning officers participating in the direction of our county.
A Prayer for Repentance Is Accompanied by a Turning
Dear Heavenly Father,
Our nation has sinned and sinned greatly. We have all been complicit. We are truly sorry and humbly as You to heal us and to heal our land. We ask that You help us turn from our wicked ways and follow You and Your commands over and above all the inclinations of our flesh and our habits and all that is displeasing to You and Your ways. Please help us to do so daily, individually and corporately as we have the opportunity to do so.
We further ask for Your blessings and Your healing upon us and upon our land as we get back in line with You. We cannot do this without Your help. We need You desperately. We implore You to hear our prayer, forgive our sin, and teach us by Your Word and Holy Spirit.
We love You and beseech Your mercies upon us and our nation.
