HB2764 cuts the state’s individual income tax rate by 0.25% beginning in 2026, and creates a process for reducing the income tax rate to zero when revenues hit certain triggers.

The Senate passed HB2764 on May 22, 2025, by a vote of 34 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the income tax is an immoral anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from people the wages they have rightfully earned. It turns citizens into slaves. A person’s property, including their income, belongs solely to them—not the state. The Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment expressly affirm that “No State” shall unjustly “deprive any person” of “liberty, or property.” Oklahoma must reject tyrannical, big government by protecting the “pursuit of Happiness," particularly the right to enjoy the fruit of one’s own labor.

SB176 requires health benefit plans that offer coverage for FDA-approved “contraceptive drugs” to cover an initial three-month supply and then a recurrent six-month supply.

The House passed SB176 on May 22, 2025, by a vote of 65 to 25. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill permits health insurers to provide year-round coverage for at-home abortions. Hormonal birth-control drugs, which include the “morning-after” pill (e.g., Plan B), function not only as “contraceptives,” but as abortifacients. Abortion is murder, and no person has a right to kill a preborn child. Since the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, Oklahoma ought to abolish abortion entirely. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and secured by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

SB176 requires health benefit plans that offer coverage for FDA-approved “contraceptive drugs” to cover an initial three-month supply and then a recurrent six-month supply.

The House passed SB176 on May 21, 2025, by a vote of 30 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill permits health insurers to provide year-round coverage for at-home abortions. Hormonal birth-control drugs, which include the “morning-after” pill (e.g., Plan B), function not only as “contraceptives,” but as abortifacients.

SB1126 allocates approximately $3.98 billion in funding to the State Department of Education from the General Appropriations bill for FY 2025-26. The Senate passed SB1126 on May 20, 2025, by a vote of 31 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government—it is the responsibility of a child’s parents or family. Schools can and should be privatized, without any need for public funding that steals from taxpayers (e.g., property taxes) and drains the treasury. If not dismantled, the government’s monopoly on preK-12 education will continue to displace traditional private schools and homeschooling in favor of universal state-sponsored schooling. The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to give up their hard-earned tax dollars for all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run school system.

SB269 gives the Oklahoma Corporation Commission exclusive jurisdiction over Class VI CO2 injection wells and related storage units.

The Senate passed SB269 on May 13, 2025, by a vote of 27 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the recent and dangerous expansion of carbon-capture storage systems in the United States is closely connected to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for “sustainable development,” which seeks to codify extreme “environmental justice” measures into state law. Its push for a “green” or “decarbonized” economy on behalf of “vulnerable populations” is nothing other than a fanatical attempt by globalist elites to increase their taxing power and authority. The abuse of eminent domain for these carbon-capture pipelines encroaches upon the constitutionally protected property rights of Oklahomans. If America is to truly remain the “land of the free,” then the States and the people must reject the hoax of “climate change” and put an end to the global war on farmers and ranchers.

HB2110, the “Bringing Sitcoms Home from Hollywood Pilot Program Act,” establishes tax-incentive rebate payments for live audience episodic television in Oklahoma.

The Senate passed HB2110 on May 6, 2025, by a vote of 31 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government has absolutely no business subsidizing the entertainment industry. Multi-millionaire Hollywood producers can more than afford to pay their own taxes, and deserve no special carve-out. “Economic development” is too often simply a cliché or code word used to finance crony elite-driven “pork-barrel” projects that violate the principles of free-market enterprise. The U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to promote the “general Welfare” of all Americans, not to pick economic “winners” and “losers.”

SB269 gives the Oklahoma Corporation Commission exclusive jurisdiction over Class VI CO2 injection wells and related storage units.

The House passed SB269 on May 1, 2025, by a vote of 73 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the recent and dangerous expansion of carbon-capture storage systems in the United States is closely connected to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for “sustainable development,” which seeks to codify extreme “environmental justice” measures into state law. Its push for a “green” or “decarbonized” economy on behalf of “vulnerable populations” is nothing other than a fanatical attempt by globalist elites to increase their taxing power and authority. The abuse of eminent domain for these carbon-capture pipelines encroaches upon the constitutionally protected property rights of Oklahomans.

SB990 would authorize the Legislature to initiate a recall election to remove a statewide elected official from office.

The Senate passed SB990 on March 27, 2025, by a vote of  31 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because recall elections are illegitimate populist measures designed to circumvent the longstanding constitutional remedies of impeachment and expulsion. As with referendums and “citizens’ initiatives,” they relegate the solemn duties of the people’s elected representatives to the will of the masses at large, replacing checks and balances with chaos and instability. Article VIII, Section 1 of the Oklahoma Constitution reserves impeachment for statewide officials who engage in unlawful activity or fail to fulfill their responsibilities. Moreover, Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees to “every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” meaning government limited to the “rule of law,” as opposed to the unbridled whims of “majority rule." Recall elections are one of the many “dangers of democracy” that subject citizens and lawmakers alike to the “tyranny of the majority.”

HB2299 would set forth guidelines to regulate the conduct of delegates to a “convention for proposing amendments” held under Article V of the U.S. Constitution.

The House passed HB2299 on March 25, 2025, by a vote of 51 to 37. We have assigned pluses to the nays because efforts to call an Article V convention must be resisted. A constitutional convention (Con-Con) would have the power to make major changes to the U.S. Constitution, or even completely rewrite it. Instead of risking the danger of a “runaway convention,” which could act as a “Trojan horse” to destroy many of the Constitution’s limitations on government power, state legislators should uphold their oath of office. In other words, the problem is not the Constitution, but lawmakers’ failure to follow it. Article VI requires that all state legislators “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.” Article V, however, was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to “misconstrue or abuse its powers.” State legislators use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to alter or abolish it.

HB1082 creates a rebuttable presumption in child-custody cases that “joint custody and equally shared parenting time is in the best interest of the child.”

The House passed HB1082 on March 24, 2025, by a vote of 92 to 1. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because “equal shared parenting,” also known as the 50/50 custody regime, is detrimental to both children and families. It is the rotten fruit of “no-fault divorce," which only incentivizes the breaking of the marital covenant by allowing persons to commit serious acts of injury against their spouses and children (e.g., adultery or abandonment) with impunity. “Equal shared parenting,” another deceptive misnomer, proceeds from the same false premise that innocent parties have no right to their day in court, further denying victims due process of law. In addition, it is part of the “best interest of the child” legislation that seeks to rewrite U.S. family law based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Nevertheless, no child should have to suffer the mental, emotional, and physical effects of being forced to live two separate lives in two separate homes. Marriage is—and will always be—the God-ordained arrangement for “co-parenting.” Indeed, the Judgment of Solomon testifies to the wisdom and precedent of awarding sole custody to the true parent who justly refuses to “divide” the child.

HB1197 would enable Oklahoma residents to use a transaction card to make purchases with gold and silver from a state-approved bullion depository.

The House passed HB1197 on March 24, 2025, by a vote of 77 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill brings Oklahoma closer to restoring sound money and adhering to the U.S. Constitution’s monetary provisions. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution says that “No State shall … make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and need to act now to protect Americans’ financial freedom and privacy by both ending the Federal Reserve’s unconstitutional monopoly on money and thwarting government plans to impose a Central Bank Digital Currency.

HB1689 would make it unlawful to remove a shopping cart from a retail establishment with the intent to deprive the owner of its use, and punish offenders with a fine and/or imprisonment.

The House passed HB1689 on March 12, 2025, by a vote of 54 to 33. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because retail theft (i.e., shoplifting) needs to be illegal and punished as a crime. No one has the right to the property of someone else, regardless of value or price tag. Stealing less does not make one less a thief. As justice is the overall purpose of government, civil society necessitates enforcing the basic moral principle that “You shall not steal.” Prohibiting acts of petty theft deters higher crimes, such as felony theft, and, most importantly, results in safer, more trustworthy, and cleaner communities.

SB426 establishes that the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction in the state of Oklahoma.

The House passed SB426 on May 30, 2024, by a vote of 74 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the United States should fully withdraw from the entire United Nations system, which is comprised of not only “specialized agencies,” such as the World Health Organization, but “strategic partners,” like the World Economic Forum. The UN poses one of the greatest threats to state and national sovereignty, not to mention the God-given rights of the American people. Since 1945, the UN Charter, which is completely antithetical to the U.S. Constitution, has established an international framework for expanding global governance, with the ultimate goal of building a totalitarian one-world state. Oklahomans must reject the “zeitgeist” of globalism and call on Congress and the President to pursue a sound, just, and traditional foreign policy of non-interventionism, based on U.S. interests and the original intent of the Founding Fathers. It’s time to Get US Out! of the UN.

SB1122 outlines the allocation and budgeting of $5.9 billion for the public school system for FY 2024-25.

The House passed SB1122 on May 30, 2024, by a vote of 70 to 24. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government—rather, it is the responsibility of a child’s parents or family. This bill only continues the government’s monopoly over K-12 education, which seeks to end traditional private schools and homeschooling in favor of universal state-sponsored schooling, and effectively turn every student into a government-school student. The best “school choice,” by far, is for parents to choose not to place their child’s education in the hands of the state. Educational and economic freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system. 

SB1192 directs the transfer of $8.1 million to the Department of Human Services for additional “food insecurity” grants.

The Senate passed SB1192 on May 28, 2024, by a vote of 37 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the noes because providing “food insecurity” grants is not the legitimate object of government. There exists no “right to food” apart from a person working to provide it themselves or having received it privately and voluntarily from someone else. Taxation in the name of “social welfare” is neither just nor charitable. This bill relies on the unconstitutional and discriminatory use of federal and state taxpayer money on behalf of some citizens (particularly those who have little or no tax liability) at the expense of others, causing more debt, dependency, and poverty. States must firmly reject the notion of "food security,” which the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 “Zero Hunger” initiative describes as a “precondition for the full enjoyment of the right to food,” based on Article 25 of the socialist Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

SB1122 outlines the allocation and budgeting of $5.9 billion for the public school system for FY 2024-25.

The Senate passed SB1122 on May 28, 2024, by a vote of 37 to 4.

  SB1334 requires all health benefit plans to provide coverage for “standard fertility preservation services” for individuals diagnosed with cancer and who are within reproductive age, when a medically necessary treatment may directly or indirectly cause infertility. The Senate passed SB1334 on May 22, 2024, by a vote of 29 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because “standard fertility preservation services” involve “ocyte and sperm preservation procedures, including ovarian tissue, sperm, and oocyte cryopreservation.” They are simply the first steps of the exact same process used during the life-destroying practices of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies, through which the vast majority of embryos conceived outside the womb are aborted or indefinitely frozen, resulting in the killing or cryo-incarceration of millions of preborn children every year. Given that the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, IVF must not be viewed as the solution to infertility. Oklahoma ought to forbid abortion and cryo-orphaning entirely, upholding the sanctity of life for every person. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

HB3959 creates the Major Sports Leagues Rebate Program Act, which allows professional sports teams in the state to receive up to $10 million per year in cash incentive payments.

The Senate passed HB3959 on April 24, 2024, by a vote of 35 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government has absolutely no business subsidizing professional sports. Privately-owned billion-dollar organizations, such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, can and should be expected to compete and operate in a free market. “Economic development” is merely a cliché or code word used by cronies to coerce taxpayers into paying proliferate amounts of money to fund corporate-sponsored spending bills outside the limited purpose and scope of government. Not surprisingly, this bill is dependent on the income tax, which itself is an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned.

HB3156 prohibits the use of ranked-choice voting to conduct any election and nullifies any existing or future adoption of a voting system in conflict with this measure. The Senate passed HB3156 on April 24, 2024, by a vote of 37 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because all attempts to enact ranked-choice voting should be opposed. This complicated, multiple-round, and unconstitutional method weakens election integrity by allowing a candidate to potentially win without genuine support from a plurality of voters. The scheme’s ballot casting procedures cause voter disenfranchisement by undermining each citizen’s right to vote and could deny them from being able to select the one and only candidate of their choice.

HB4156 makes illegal migration a state crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment and requires any person convicted or released from custody to leave Oklahoma within 72 hours. 

The House passed HB4156 on April 18, 2024, by a vote of 77 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime under federal law—should not be permitted sanctuary in Oklahoma, let alone be aided and abetted by state or local law enforcement officials. Article I, Section 8, of the U.S. Constitution clearly gives Congress power to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization.” Rather than pursue blatantly unconstitutional and anti-American policies that undermine the rule of law and erode the value of citizenship, each of the several States should exercise its sovereign powers under the 10th Amendment to end the illegal-migrant invasion and provide for the public safety. 

SJR34 (House Committee Substitute) would, if approved by voters, amend the Oklahoma Constitution by granting the Governor the power to nominate and appoint all judicial officers with the advice and consent of the Legislature.

The House failed to pass SJR34 on April 16, 2024, by a vote of 36 to 60. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the 15-member Judicial Nominating Commission, which includes six publicly unelected members of the Oklahoma Bar Association, functions as a nepotic scheme to circumvent representative government “of, by, and for the people.” Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution guarantees “to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” meaning government limited to the “rule of law,” with a separation of powers among members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each of whom derives their authority from the people. Yet, Oklahoma’s judicial system is only as good as it applies “the supreme Law of the Land.” Our federal system of checks and balances was designed so that no person may legitimately be appointed to any non-elected public office apart from having been nominated in good faith by, or confirmed with the consent of, at least one of the elected bodies of government.

SJR34 would, if approved by voters, amend the Oklahoma Constitution by granting the Governor the power to nominate and appoint all judicial officers with the advice and consent of the Senate.

The Senate passed SJR34 on March 12, 2024, by a vote of 32 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the 15-member Judicial Nominating Commission, which includes six publicly unelected members of the Oklahoma Bar Association, functions as a nepotic scheme to circumvent representative government “of, by, and for the people.” Article IV, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution guarantees “to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” meaning government limited to the “rule of law,” with a separation of powers among members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each of whom derives their civil authority from the people. Yet, Oklahoma’s judicial system is only as good as it applies “the supreme Law of the Land.” Our federal system of checks and balances was designed so that no person may legitimately be appointed to any non-elected public office apart from having been nominated in good faith by, or confirmed with the consent of, at least one of the elected bodies of government.

HB3323 would exclude a Central Bank Digital Currency from the definition of “money.”

The House passed HB3323 on March 12, 2024, by a vote of 55 to 41. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because a Central Bank Digital Currency would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties by decimating personal privacy and allowing for a full-fledged surveillance state. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” The States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

SB13 increases the payment period for certain qualifying entities within the sports teams and clubs industry from 15 years to 30 years as it relates to the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program Act.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SB13 on May 26, 2023 by a vote of 70 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill extends state subsidies for professional and semiprofessional sports teams, which is beyond the limited purpose and scope of government. It's nothing but theft from the taxpayer, and Oklahoma ought not to disparage people of their income or property.

SB13 increases the payment period for certain qualifying entities within the sports teams and clubs industry from 15 years to 30 years as it relates to the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program Act.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB13 on May 24, 2023 by a vote of 31 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill extends state subsidies for professional and semiprofessional sports teams, which is beyond the limited purpose and scope of government. It's nothing but theft from the taxpayer, and Oklahoma ought not to disparage people of their income or property.

SB212 enacts that individuals who are not citizens of the United States are prohibited from directly or indirectly owning land in the state.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB212 on May 19, 2023 by a vote of 40 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this is a great first step in preserving state sovereignty. Ultimately, allowing foreigners from countries that reject American values, such as Communist China, to purchase mass amounts of land is a sure way to lose national and state sovereignty. This also compromises national security and impedes on citizens’ rights.

HB2052 demands written certification from multistate voter list maintenance organizations, confirming compliance with specified requirements before Oklahoma can join. The bill also limits the provision of motor vehicle license data to non-U.S. citizens. These provisions make it harder for Oklahoma to join Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed HB2052 on May 15, 2023 by a vote of 79 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because ERIC is a George Soros-funded program that states have no business being involved with. ERIC collects private election data handed over by the states and is not transparent in how it manages that data. Instead of cleaning up the voter rolls, they inflate voter rolls significantly via private voter data.

SB613 forbids healthcare providers from performing gender transition procedures on minors. Violation of this prohibition may result in the revocation of licensure and constitutes a felony offense for the healthcare provider involved.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB613 on April 27, 2023 by a vote of 37 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas like this for years. The indoctrination that leads people to believe that they can choose their pronouns and identify as a different gender is immoral. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders. Additionally, minors are not yet capable of giving informed consent and should not have the ability to choose a gender that contradicts their scientific classification, causing irreversible damage.

SB212 stipulates that individuals who are not citizens of the United States are prohibited from directly or indirectly owning land in the state.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SB212 on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 78 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this is a great first step in preserving state sovereignty. Ultimately, allowing foreigners from countries that reject American values, such as Communist China, to purchase mass amounts of land is a sure way to lose national and state sovereignty. This also compromises national security and impedes on citizens’ rights.

SB93 requires students to complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to graduate from a public high school.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SB93 on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 69 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the nays because requiring mandatory completion of the FAFSA infringes on individuals’ autonomy and personal financial choices. This bill establishes an overreaching precedent where the state dictates personal decisions and forces citizens to engage in a federal financial aid process, potentially compromising their privacy and freedom of choice.

HB2052 demands written certification from multistate voter list maintenance organizations, confirming compliance with specified requirements before Oklahoma can join. The bill also limits the provision of motor vehicle license data to non-U.S. citizens. These provisions make it harder for Oklahoma to join the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).

The Oklahoma State Senate passed HB2052 on April 25, 2023 by a vote of 39 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because ERIC is a George Soros-funded program that states have no business being involved with. ERIC collects private election data handed over by the states and is not transparent in how it manages that data. Instead of cleaning up the voter rolls, they inflate voter rolls significantly via private voter data.

HJR1032 applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to call for a term limits amendment.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed HJR1032 on April 20, 2023 by a vote of 31 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. HJR1032 should be opposed in favor of less risky, more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.

  HB2643 (House Committee Substitute) would have affirmed that firearms manufactured, sold, and purchased in Oklahoma are not subject to federal law or regulation. The House passed HB2643 on March 21, 2023, by a vote of 72 to 21. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill would have prevented government entities from enforcing unconstitutional federal gun control edicts, helping to restore the rights of law-abiding citizens. The U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment expressly declares that to ensure the “security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Whenever the federal government assumes power to impose firearms restrictions in blatant violation of the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment, nullification of such acts by the States is the proper remedy.

HJR1032 applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, to call for a term limits amendment.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed HJR1032 on March 21, 2023 by a vote of 59 to 34. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose.

SB93 requires students to complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to graduate from a public high school.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB93 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 37 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because requiring mandatory completion of the FAFSA infringes on individuals’ autonomy and personal financial choices. This bill establishes an overreaching precedent where the state dictates personal decisions and forces citizens to engage in a federal financial aid process, potentially compromising their privacy and freedom of choice.

HB4473 creates an Inflation Relief Stimulus Fund in the state budget and would appropriate $75 per individual tax filer and $150 for couples who joint file. This would total $181 million dollars.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed HB4473 on May 20, 2022 by a vote of 33 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this Inflation Relief Stimulus Fund is only temporary relief. The state government should look for a more permanent solution, such as tax decreases which shrink the size of government and hopefully the legislature will act on that soon.

SB615 requires individuals to use restrooms or changing areas based on their sex.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SB615 on May 19, 2022 by a vote of 69 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting woke radical Marxist ideas for years; that you can decide to be any gender you want to be. They believe that people can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders and we should not conform to the woke culture of the radical left.  

SB615 requires individuals to use restrooms or changing areas based on their sex.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB615 on May 19, 2022 by a vote of 38 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting woke radical Marxist ideas for years; that you can decide to be any gender you want to be. They believe that people can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders and we should not conform to the woke culture of the radical left.

HB3046 prohibits governments from accepting funds to be used for conducting elections in the state and requires elections be paid for with public funds.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed HB3046 on April 27, 2022 by a vote of 37 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of outcomes.

HJR1056 repealed the expiration date of a previously-passed resolution allowing Oklahoma to send a delegation to a “gathering of states” to create guidelines for a BBA and/or COS Article V convention.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed HJR1056 on March 23, 2022 by a vote of 66 to 19.  We have assigned pluses to the nays because the state’s application for a constitutional conventional dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. This legislation removes the expiration date for their application for constitutional convention, which is dangerously irresponsible.

HB3046 prohibits governments from accepting funds to be used for conducting elections in the state and requires elections be paid for with public funds.

The Oklahoma State House passed HB3046 on March 9, 2022 by a vote of 79 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of outcomes.

HB2984 strengthened a previously-enacted nullification bill against unconstitutional gun laws, giving state authorities the ability to enforce it.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed HB2984 on March 7, 2022 by a vote of 78 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed in any situation. Furthermore, under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, states have a duty to nullify unconstitutional infringements by the federal government.

HB1775 prohibits the teaching of curriculum like Critical Race Theory to students and prohibits courses from including certain race based concepts.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed HB1775 on April 29, 2021 by a vote of 38 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because our government is pushing schools to teach racism with Critical Race Theory, which is rooted in communism and is part of the Marxist agenda. The goal is to pit Americans of different races and religions against each other, essentially become a catalyst for more racism. Our education system is broken and corrupt and it is funded by the taxpayers. This legislation is a good step in taking back our schools and protecting our kids.

SB368 prohibits governmental declaration of religious institutions as nonessential.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SB368 on April 20, 2021 by a vote of 72 to 20. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because no law shall prohibit free exercise of religion and the right to peacefully assemble.  These rights are protected by both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and no situation or event in the United States shall lead to the suspension of those rights.

SJR23 applies for a Convention of States under Article V for proposing amendments to U.S. Constitution.

The Oklahoma State House of Representatives passed SJR23 on April 20, 2021 by a vote of 62 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. This dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. SJR23 should be opposed in favor of less risky, more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.

SB368 prohibits governmental declaration of religious institutions as nonessential.

The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB368 on March 11, 2021 by a vote of 37 to 9. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because no law shall prohibit free exercise of religion and the right to peacefully assemble.  These rights are protected by both the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and no situation or event in the United States shall lead to the suspension of those rights.
