OCTOBER

IF the Documented Events below violate your confidence in Oklahoma Government as much as they have IRON, you must WRITE, FAX or  CALL all Oklahoma House Legislators  

1-800-522-8502 - State Capitol Building, 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK  73105

1-800-522-8503  

While other States seize on their State Sovereignty, Oklahoma House members yield their votes and bills for 2011 and 2012 session to allow the manipulation of legislation via Speaker Steele and Committee Chairmen as the agenda of the Chambers of Commerce takes center stage.  At your district town halls, ask the ‘NAY’ voters why!     

Documented Events:

In the 2011 session of the Oklahoma Legislature on the very first day of session, a real travesty occurred that threatens the very existence of open government by silencing the expression of the voice of the voters.  Legislators were elected to protect our liberties and uphold the Constitution and for their time in office, they receive payment of a good salary and per diem to represent their constituents. 

Oklahoma districts elect candidates for representation and they assume those Representatives will view their bills as being good for that district and then push for their passage.  Legislators are the ‘voice of the people’ in the role of government so it is imperative that Legislators have the right and ability to get an equal and fair hearing on their legislation.  A Committee Hearing is the first step in our legislative process. 

Voters also assume these elected officials will represent the district, not the State Chamber of Commerce that is beholding to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which is the engine behind outsourcing of jobs, Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, reduced population, and open borders. (google U.S. Chamber of Commerce)

Representative Charles Key, on the first day of the 2011 session offered an amendment which provided that all duly elected legislators would get a hearing on their bill(s) if they requested a hearing in writing. The amendment barely failed after leadership left the vote open for an unusually long time while some of the house leadership pressured some of the members to change their vote.    Subsequently, two bills have been filed to correct this problem but they are currently being denied a hearing. They are HR 1004 and HJR 1004.

Unfortunately, the Chamber of Commerce agenda did pass during the 2011 session because of the abuse of power and because members caved to pressure by some leadership.   IRON believes that open honest government is the reason we enjoy the freedoms we do, it certainly is not allowing power to one, nor a block of elites controlling  legislative sessions to favor big business members who contribute richly to the existence of the Chambers while small business entrepreneurs are trampled and face bankruptcy.

HJR 1004 floor votes ‘NAY” relinquished their representation also for the 2012 session.       

NAY:       Armes, Banz, Billy, Brumbaugh, Casey, Cockroft, Coody, Cooksey, Cox, Dank,

Denney, DeWitt, Enns, Farley, Faught, Hall, Hardin, Hickman, Holland, Jackson, Jordan,

Joyner, Kirby, Liebmann, Martin (Scott), Martin (Steve), McCullough, McDaniel (Randy),

McNiel, Mulready, Nelson, Nollan, Ortega, Ownbey, Peters, Peterson, Quinn, Richardson, Roberts (Dustin), Roberts (Sean), Russ, Sanders, Schwartz, Sears, Shannon, Stiles, Sullivan, Thomsen, Trebilcock, Vaughan, Watson, Wright, Mr. Speaker.--53.   

 Excused are considered NAY votes:   McAffrey, Osborn, Scott, Shoemake, Tibbs, Walker.--6.    Votes are on record

The issue is no longer Republicans vs. Democrats, but rather whether your Representative is honorable and will stand for liberty, the Constitution and his/her sworn duty to constituents.   If not, then voters deserve to be represented and those incumbents must be voted out in the 2012 Primary.  Replace them with a patriot who stands true under pressure and upholds his campaign promises to the voters.   Call the Speaker and your Legislator at 1-800-522-8502 and demand representation for your district and then be ready to vote them out if they try to give you any excuses.

Demand open, equal, and honest representation – we pay for it and we deserve it!

The U.S. Supreme Court issued one of the best and most important decisions ever on federalism. The Court unanimously held that not just states but individuals have standing to challenge federal laws as violations of state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment. This decision is as radical in the direction of liberty as the New Deal was radical in the direction of socialism. Read the decision at link.
