It is said that elections demonstrate the will of the people. This statement is NOT true. Elections demonstrate the will of the people WHO VOTE. On July 27, we begin to close the door on an era in Oklahoma which has seen a Democrat governor for eight years, a Democrat attorney general who will have been in this position for 16 years, and a state superintendent of public instruction who has been in this position for 20 years by the time new office holders are elected in November. There is no term limit restriction on the attorney general and superintendent’s offices.

During this primary election, voters have the opportunity to make choices on a scale larger than on the general election in November, because there are so many candidates running for offices. To be an informed voter, any citizen may access the following internet sites: www.okforlife.org to show a candidate’s position on the life issue; www.oklahomaconstitution.com to see the Conservative Rating Index on current legislators; www.ok-safe.com to learn about Oklahomans for Sovereignty and Free Enterprise 2010 Candidate Questionnaire and Answer Grid; www.okfamilypc.org to obtain a non-partisan voter guide, and www.ocpacnews.blogspot.com for a report on interviews of every candidate for every race conducted by the OCPAC (Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee).

Having served as the Ada Tea Party coordinator since April 2009, it has been possible to meet in person and listen to a large number of the candidates. As a result of the information which was gained ..., it is now possible to know which candidate have Oklahoma constituents’ interests at heart and pledge to govern based on values consistent with constitutional conservative representation. I want to recommend that votes be cast for Senator Randy Brogdon for Governor; Representative John Wright for Lt. Governor; Scott Pruitt for Attorney General; Janet Barresi for Superintendent of Public Instruction; Mark Costello for Commissioner of Labor; John Doak for Insurance Commissioner; Kevin Calvey for U. S. Rep. Congressional District 5; Tim Clem for State Senator District 28 and Tom Newell for State Rep. District 28.
