ACTION ALERT: HB2818 Personal Property Protection Act
The high-priority legislation, HB2818, known as the Personal Property Protection Act, seeks to broaden the scope of the castle doctrine, extending its protections beyond the confines of one’s home to encompass the entirety of one’s property.
This bill empowers individuals to defend their property, whether armed or unarmed, thereby providing a level of protection that was previously unavailable. It is crucial to advocate for this bill by reaching out to the following senators, urging them to bring HB2818 to the Senate floor for discussion this week:
Gann Warns Legislators of Dangers of Woke Law Enforcement Proposal
By Oklahoma State Representative Tom Gann
Oklahoma State Representative Tom Gann is encouraging his colleagues to stay alert. He believes lobbyists are preparing a late-session push to greenlight what he calls the dangerous rise of “woke,” AI-driven law enforcement.
“Powerful lobbyists for a prominent big tech company Flock Safety are believed to be walking the halls, shopping an inappropriate, last-minute amendment to authorize a warrantless surveillance system. Should legislators approve this plan, it would put a woke, big tech firm in charge of implementing the warrantless surveillance of Oklahomans.”

Something Big is Happening in The Oklahoma House of Representatives
For the first time in years, we can definitively capture the clear evidence of the first green shoots—early signs of what may grow into a full transformation of the House of Representatives. It’s a transformation that could restore it to its rightful place as the people’s chamber, rather than the complete tool of powerful government institutions and special interests.

SB 743 An Attack on Free Speech and God’s Word
Last week SB 743 by Senator Gollihare which began as a anti prostitution bill changed rapidly by a floor amendment by Gollihare to prohibit free speech in the guise of prohibiting “protesting” a church with a first offense misdemeanor charge and a second offense felony charge with a $1000 fine and up to 2 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Sadly many Grassroot Freedom Caucus Senators crossed the isle to join in on this egregious attack against freedom of speech.
As it turns out, the “protest” amendment was a retaliatory measure by Senator Gollihare to get even with Christian abortion abolitionists who showed up on the side walk of his Blue Bell Freewill Baptist Church in Sapulpa.

Lincoln County Wind Farm Opponent Provides Project Insight – Landowners oppose the project!
Lincoln County landowners who formed the anti-wind farm group “Wind Warriors in Lincoln County” say very few landowners support the controversial Apex Energy wind farm proposed in their county.
They also say of the handful of landowners who signed leases, none actually live in Lincoln County. The group released a press release on Wednesday entitled “Encouraging Progress in 1st Year of Green Energy Battle.”
At this week’s Lincoln County Board of Commissioners meeting, it was noted that the residents of the county began taking up arms in March 2024 to eventually become the leaders of the war against wind energy which has engulfed 14 counties in the eastern part of the state also being targeted for massive Industrial Wind Turbine Complexes.
A signincant item pointed to on the timeline events over the past year was a “Public Notice on Wind Energy” approved by the Board of Commissioners in August and then mailed to rural landowners. Its intent was to inform them of the planned installation of 82 wind turbines over 600 feet tall and to encourage them to talk with their neighbors before signing a wind lease.
