The Greater Pushmataha Republicans Meet

  In the heart of "Little Dixie", a room full of strong Republicans are making an impact on an area of the state where Republicans often kept quiet for fear of social retribution. 

Straw Poll

  Cruz took 50% of the support in todays straw poll. Trump followed with 35%. Last year, Huckabee and Walker were the top 2.

Country style

  Things are done on a small scale, here. But the process is genuine. My Tulsa County acclimatization is truly refreshed by being here. These conservatives actually need each other. No one is pushing their neighbor away. This group has a healthy diversity and it doesn't threaten any of them. They haven't lost sight of the fact that they are on the same team.

Denise and Richard Engle

Citizen Cosponsors Invited To The Effort to Reform Asset Forfeiture

  Senator Kyle Loveless is deeply committed to the cause of Asset Forfeiture reform. During the last few weeks of last Spring, and through the summer & autumn; Loveless has poured significant time, resources, and significant political capital into the cause.

 The concerned citizens of Oklahoma are now being asked to join Senator Loveless as "cosponsors" of his senate bill.
By signing up at The Asset Reform Cosponsorship Registry, individuals can express their resolve on this issue.

Making Money By Not Fixing Washington

  For more than four decades, the pro-life advocates have sent billions on stopping abortion on demand. They have marched, campaigned, picketed, counseled, lobbied, threatened, and established large political foundations. Some of these efforts have been effective, but some have inadvertently become a real obstacle to victory in the fight to protect the unborn.
  A very liberal cousin of mine has been a congressional staffer for a Democrat from Minnesota.
  At a recent family reunion in Minnesota, I said; "The pro-life issue alone is enough reason for me to support republicans.".
  "The Republicans in Washington don't want Abortion to ever end!",
 He responded. "They make too much money off the issue and  they get all these Catholics to keep voting for them because of the issue."
  The short dialogue left me thinking. I knew he was saying a few things that I could not refute. Many of the vast Catholic population in Minnesota are populist and support socialist ideas. If the Abortion issue was resolved, they'd go back to being staunch Democrat activists. And the devout people of several denominations are, to varying degrees, similar.

Trump Defames A Respected Iowa Minister, Get's Busted For It

  Rev. Bob Vander Plaats is a very well known and respected Christian leader in Iowa. His ministry, "The Family Leader" has brought together masses of Christians from several denominations, for the furtherance of family values and other public policy directives.
Via the New York Times:
  In an interview, Mr. Vander Plaats said he thought the tweets showed “who Donald Trump really is.” Mr. Vander Plaats added that Mr. Trump had offered his family a free stay at a hotel in New York City on a rare visit.

  Mr. Trump’s Twitter posts reflect his go-for-the-jugular strategy to discredit a rival, which has been a key feature of his campaign over the last seven months.
“The problem is that Donald Trump expects that if he has a friendship with you and he does anything nice for you, he controls you,” he added.
