Candidate For State Superintendent Accused of Scratching Child at Camp

A mother of a special needs child has recently released audio of candidate for State Superintendent, Robert Franklin admitting to placing scratches behind her son’s ear at the Make Promises Happen Camp in 2014. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DE8kMrSZA/?mibextid=wwXIfr.

Below is from an article on KOTV:

“Franklin confirmed the incident happened, saying it was roughly 10 to 12 years ago. Franklin sent a statement, saying that the child was struggling to manage his emotions and had just hurt a few counselors and was throwing rocks at others. Franklin says because the boy was displaying aggressive behavior, he was trying to put himself between the child and volunteers.

“He pulled away and my nail scratched behind his ear, which was the last thing I would have wanted,” he said in his statement. “Alas, I acknowledge and own my actions in this moment and wish it would have resolved differently.”

Could two deep scratches on a boy be an accident? Possible but Mr. Franklin’s recent statement does not line out with the recording he left with the mother shortly after the incident.

FISA Renewal 702 Passes House-OKGOP Says No

With President Trump’s full support, the U.S. House passed the FISA 702 Renewal. In 2024, then candidate Trump urged Congress to repeal FISA as it was being weaponized against him by the Democrat controlled presidency to spy on his emails and phone calls.

The entire Oklahoma Delegation chose to sell out your inalienable rights enshrined in the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to be secure in your persons, papers and houses. This includes Congressmen Frank Lucas, Tom Cole, Josh Brecheen, Kevin Hern and Congresswoman Stephanie Bice.

At the recent Oklahoma Republican Party State Committee on April 18th, the Oklahoma Republican Party voted to direct President Trump and the Oklahoma Federal Delegation to reject and oppose FISA renewals that would spy on Americans with the resolution below.

My Statement on Rep. Jim Shaw’s Save Oklahoma Plan/Concerns From a Liberty Perspective

I joined Oklahomans across the state in celebrating Jim Shaw’s victory over RINO mafia King Pen, Kevin Wallace. The stance Jim Shaw has taken for property rights and individual rights in the Oklahoma State House has been a breath of fresh air for many.
While I stand on almost all the issues Jim Shaw has worked on, I cannot support or join OK Grassroots and almost every grassroots organization in Oklahoma in supporting his Save Oklahoma Plan.
These organizations are accepting at least $100,000 with one of the conditions being that they agree to not support candidates who do not align with all 7 of these positions.
One of the 7 positions being pushed that sent chills up and down my spine is E-Verify. E-Verify while being promoted in the guise of border security has major civil liberty and constitution violation concerns. E-Verify will dictate to employers how to run their businesses while infringing on inalienable rights of employees enshrined in the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, also potentially setting up a national data base for government to track and control people. Conservative or Libertarian Grassroot individuals with concerns of severe privacy and civil liberty violations cannot and will not support E-Verify and if they were to run for office in Oklahoma will be opposed by basically every Oklahoma grassroots organization.
I plead with Representative Shaw and all these grassroot organizations to STOP and not go down this path!

OKGOP convention censures 4 GOP senators who killed bill to abolish abortion

Tuesday, May 06, 2025 – by Jamison Faught

Oklahoma Republican Party activists gathered this past weekend to elect new leadership and advance new party business at the biennial state convention. Among the items passed by convention delegates was a censure of four Republican state senators for voting in the Senate judiciary committee to against a bill to end abortion in Oklahoma.

Yes, after decades of pro-life pledges and bills, it’s Republicans (allegedly ‘conservative’ and ‘100% pro-life’, to boot) that are standing in the way of abolishing abortion in our state and ending the continued post-Dobbs slaughter of preborn human beings.

You can read a little more background information in this article from the Foundation to Abolish Abortion.

SB 456 (The Abolition of Abortion Act) To Be Heard in Committee

SB 456 (The Abolition Of Abortion Act) will be given a hearing and vote in the Oklahoma Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow Wednesday at 1:30pm.

Since the overturning of Roe, Oklahoma has continued to kill thousands of kids a year through chemical means, all with the cover of law.

I believe God’s enduring commandment is clear when He says, Thou shall not murder.  Most Oklahoma legislators would say they believe life begins at conception and would say they are professing Believers in Christ.  As well as considering God’s Word, legislators also must consider and take into account the 14th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution which states: “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Oklahoma Republicans have also issued a directive to their legislators on page 5 of the Oklahoma Republican Party Platform which states:  “Be it resolved that the abolition of abortion be brought to a full floor vote in the Oklahoma Legislature.”

Tomorrow I pray the Senate Judiciary Committee seek out Micah 6:8:

“He hath shown thee, O man, what is good: and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”

Please contact the legislators below and tell them that Oklahoma demands the abolition of abortion! Especially let the Republican legislators know that the OKGOP passed a resolution calling for the abolition bill to be passed!

David Bullard comments on proposed open primaries state question

For Immediate Release: Nov. 20, 2024

David Bullard comments on proposed open primaries state question

OKLAHOMA CITY — Sen. David Bullard, R-Durant, released the following statement regarding the filing of a new state question that aims to change Oklahoma’s elections to impose open primaries.

“On November 5th, Oklahoma spoke loud and clear that we are a conservative state that is only becoming more conservative. So, why then would Oklahoma suddenly move to a liberal, open primary system, which seeks only to disenfranchise Republicans? This proposed state question is a sure pathway to turn our state blue and a ‘solution’ in search of a problem.

“It also doesn’t matter what you call it — open primaries, jungle primaries, top two — they are all the same. Instead of running liberal policies like open primaries to hand our elections over to the left, we should instead be focused on reforming the initiative petition process to keep out-of-state leftists from perverting our state. To protect Oklahoma, we need policies that require state question signature gatherers to collect signatures in dozens of counties, which would align with legislation I’ve filed in the past.

“After the greatest win for Republicans in history, now more than ever, we must focus on stopping this progressive policy, rather than inviting it to ruin the party.”
