SEEKING JUSTICE BECAUSE OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE AFRAID TO DO SO

SEEKING JUSTICE BECAUSE

OUR REPRESENTATIVES ARE AFRAID TO DO SO

THE WATCHMAN

We don’t normally stray from political concerns within the state of Oklahoma, but after receiving this from a friend, we felt it needed to be brought to your attention. We all have the right to redress our grievances with the Government. This is usually done by contacting your Representative and Senators. When this fails, people often do nothing about it. There are other ways to seek redress of your grievances. What follows is a letter from an individual to the U.S. House Ethics Committee. The name of the sender has been eliminated for their privacy as he requested.

ARE OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATES TRULY REPRESENTING THEIR DISTRICTS?

  ...OR ARE THEY LETTING OUR FREEDOMS EVAPORATE ?

- THE WATCHMAN

  We decided to step out of state politics this week because of a story we found as we were going through our news feeds this week. We came across a very interesting article that is or should be a major concern of everyone in the nation, not just Oklahomans. What was put into danger by three of our States House Delegation was the privacy of your family’s medical records. Now wee sent those Representatives to D.C. to work for the people of this state, not to deny them of their rights.

  What we found was an article on this amendment that funds a nationwide system for you and your family’s medical records. This proposal has been up for a vote and defeated several times. What we found was that should this bill make it through the Senate, the government will be funding the operation to set in place a nationwide database of each individuals medical records.

  While we will concede that having an individual’s medical records would be useful in cases of an emergency, whether that emergency happened close to home or on a vacation or business trip, it would also be another way for identity thieves to gain your personal medical, social security, financial status and your entire world to the thieves. This constitutes a major set back for those of us who like their privacy. We also see this as a waste of taxpayer’s dollars on a project that will only leave everyone in harms way.

  By opening the link above, you will see how each House member voted to protect your rights. Rather than you having to do the work, we are going to provide it to you below.

• Oklahoma 1^st District (R) Kevin Hern voted Conservative, No
• Oklahoma 2^nd District (R)Markwayne Mullins, voted Liberal Aye
• Oklahoma 3^rd District (R)Frank Lucas, voted Liberal Aye
• Oklahoma 4^th District (R)Tom Cole, voted Conservative No
• Oklahoma 5thDistrict(D) Kendra Horn, voted liberal Aye.

  What is surprising about these votes? Those three yes votes gave the Democratic who control the House 16.3% of the votes needed to pass this legislation. There was only one surprise in these votes. Rep. Tom Cole voted as a Conservative. It surprised us simply because of his voting record. Normally he would be in favor of spending more money. We thank you for your vote Representative Cole. Representatives Lucas and Mullin have always been liberals. We weren’t sure about Representative Hern, but we must thank him for his vote.

  Representative Horn’s vote was expected. This is the woman who worked as a lobbyist while employed by one of our previous Representatives. She ran as being “Tired of partisan politics “and has only voted no on one bill since being elected, and it was a bill she co-sponsored. What a joke she has turned out to be.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR THE CHAIRMAN

A QUESTION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR THE CHAIRMAN OF THE APPROPRIATIONS  AND BUDGET COMMITTEE

THE WATCHMAN

Sometimes people are put into positions of authority that they really either can’t handle or there is a serious conflict of interest. We have found one such individual in the Oklahoma State House of Representatives. Now we don’t know if the charges are certain or the working of a spiteful former spouse. Either way, the House Leadership should have acted to prevent the conflict of interest from happening. This will once again prove to be a poor judgment call of the Speaker of the House.

On January 2, 2019, the Chairman of the Appropriations and Budget Committee was accused of being just over $27,000,00 dollars behind 9n child support. With the case pending inn the Courts, he never should have been allowed to chair the Appropriation and Budget Committee. You can read more about it by opening this link here.

Is Horn Working For Us?

IS SHE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE?

OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

The Watchman

  We know it’s early to be talking about candidates for the 2020 elections, but because of the circumstances we had to bring to light the incredibly dismal performance of Kendra Horn, (D), 5^th District of Oklahoma. We wanted to present this information prior to the 208 elections, but her campaign finance reports were curiously missing from the Federal Election Commission. How she got elected and the sexist attitude of then Oklahoma GOP Chairman at the time, led to a male member of the legislature being disciplined by the party but the female legislature could get away with it. We did a story pointing to this matter a couple of months back.

  We were surprised at that time of not being able to see who donated to her campaign. Federal Election and became Commission was void of any campaign records for Congresswoman Horn. That has stalled our investigation in her records.

The first place we looked was at her web page. You can read the page by going here Kendra Horn.

Sexual Bias In The OKGOP Chair?

 

  

IS THERE SEXUAL BIAS IN REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP?

STATE PARTY OFFICIALS AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE TULSA AREA

A CALL FOR NEW LEADERSHIP IN THE STATE PARTY AND A RECALL ON AN ELECTION

THE WATCHMAN

It's not very often that public officials open themselves to public ridicule and removal from the ruling committee. This last election cycle found at least two Republican Representatives openly supporting Democratic candidates. It wasn't only displayed by just the officials involved, other members of the House openly supported liberal Republicans to replace Conservative Incumbents. Yet with all this going on, the Oklahoma State Party Chair used the current rules to have only one liberal removed from the committee.

Republican Harold Wright donated to and endorsed the liberal Democrat candidate in a Senate Race in his area. This is cause enough to ask why the State Chair, Pam Pollard, refused to use this rule on others, especially Carol Bush. Why is she allowing the Oklahoma Republican Party being allowed to be overrun with liberals? They are defeating the hard work and actions by various committees and grass roots organizations.

The Best Justice you Can Buy

CAN YOU EXPECT A FAIR TRIAL IN OKLAHOMA, IT ACTUALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR ATTORNEY

THE WATCHMAN

Your chances off getting a fair trial in Oklahoma are only about 40%. That is a conclusion drawn by this Newsletter when you appear in front of any district judge. What drew our interest in this story was this article from the Conservative Alliance Pac. We took a hard look at this ourselves and found it to be a semi-truthful argument. We had issues about the way the numbers were presented. The site www.opensecrets.org presented them in as a single item for all judges. We choose to dig a little deeper into individual judicial districts and do a spot check.

Is SQ793 Good For Oklahomans?

STATE QUESTION 793

IS IT GOOD FOR OKLAHOMANS

THE WATCHMAN

What brought this to our attention was the many commercials in support of SQ 793 and the sparse commercials from those who0 are opposed to this State Question. There is a saying in politics that says always follow the money. That is what we did. With all the noise and commercials on this subject, we felt that the people needed to understand exactly what State Question 793 all is about.

The first article of interest we found from a Tulsa television station. The individual being interviewed was a practicing Optometrist. He does raise a few valid points to big box stores providing eye care. He claims that the Doctors would be under the supervision of the store and not the state. We found this to be untrue. The petition itself places the optometrist working in these establishment to rules and laws on sanitation as well as maintain a license.

The next article we found was from NewsOk. The question was endorsed by the Oklahoma Silver Legislators. They cited the convenience and lower prices for the individual customer. The convenience is nice, there is no guarantee that prices will be lower. We can't help but think of all the people who lost their jobs due to big box companies. You can't help but wonder how many individuals will lose their jobs because of this State Question.
