Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform – An Idea Whose Time Has Come! – Support SB 838

Civil Asset Forfeiture legislation needs to be reformed in order to protect innocent people from having their property subject to legal theft by the state without due process. R3publicans (R3s) are working to help Oklahomans learn about this issue and what they can do to help reform the current law. The senate author of the bill to reform Civil Asset Forfeiture law in OK (SB-838) is Senator Kyle Loveless. Our hope is that public support for reform will be strong enough to ensure that this bill is heard in the upcoming legislative session and ultimately passed and signed into law. Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform is an issue everyone can get behind regardless of political leaning.

Randy Brogdon for Oklahoma Republican Party State Chair – a Chair who will listen

Rachel Watts and Kenny Bob Tapp (engaged to be married)

Originally posted on facebook via Tapp into Common Sense

I am very pleased to endorse Randy Brogdon for Oklahoma Republican Party State Chair! I have known Randy and Donna for many years and am blessed to count them both friends.

I remember my Dad and I sat down with then Senator Randy Brogdon quite a few years ago and visited on the criteria he used on considering legislation dealing with issues he may not be familiar with. I remember Randy’s response. Randy said he would look at it as any issue and would ask one question; “Does the legislation take away freedom or give freedom to the issue or individual it is dealing with?” 

Following Randy for many years I have always been impressed with his willingness to listen and work with others rather than bulldozing through to accomplish a goal.

I believe it is vital that our next State Chairman has the important quality a leader needs—listening. Randy strongly believes that our Republican Party is built by the Grassroots from the bottom up, not to be run from the top down.

I encourage fellow delegates to the Oklahoma Republican State Convention this Saturday to join me in casting their ballot for Randy Brogdon as our next Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman.

Mark Costello Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Endorses Kenny Bob Tapp in House District 61 Race

I am honored to have the endorsement of Oklahoma’s Labor Commissioner Mark Costello. I look forward to working with him to streamline government and fighting against an out-of-control, centralized, federal government.

“Kenny Bob Tapp understands the proper role of government. He comprehends the need to reduce the size of government. Kenny Bob Tapp believes that federal agencies like OSHA hinder thriving small businesses and it is time to draw a line in the sand when it comes to the overreach of the federal government and its agencies in order to protect Oklahoma’s sovereignty, individual Oklahomans, and small businesses.

I am pleased to endorse Kenny Bob Tapp for House District 61 and look forward to working with him for a more prosperous Oklahoma.

Cast your vote for Tapp on June 24.”

Lesser Prairie Chicken – Probably Tasty, but don’t YOU Eat One!

Joshua Knop asked: “What are your thoughts about the Lesser Prairie Chicken?”

My reply:

“I bet it’s tasty, but don’t YOU eat one!

The listing of the prairie chicken as “threatened” was finalized on the 27th under the Endangered Species Act. The proponents of “saving” the prairie chicken that I have heard from have mainly cited the drought as the cause for the diminishing population.

It is disturbing that a bird is put above the lives and livelihood of those who have built their lives off the land.

There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to involve itself. As long as congress refuses to repeal the ESA, states including Oklahoma must draw the line in the sand and end this nonsense. In the 2015 session of the Oklahoma Legislature, I will author legislation protecting Oklahomans from any results of the “threatened” listing or any future “endangered” listing, asserting our rightful authority enshrined in the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
