Update from Oklahoma

Didn't have the time to check all of this for accuracy...

While everyone is focusing on Arizona's new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!!

An update from Oklahoma :

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.
Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB 1102
Guess what........ Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas.


Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia,Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set back for the criminals. The Liberals didn't like it -- But ...

Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either.

Guess what....who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it.
Just as a note, Arizona is looking into becoming a Republic, similar to what Texas is and in doing so, many of its laws can not be challenged by the federal government.

Even if it's not all true, it sure makes sense, and THAT alone would piss off the feds.

We encourage readers to be skeptical of any chain e-mail that pops up in their inboxes. And, as this reader suspected, some of the claims in this message aren’t quite correct — but the underlying theme, that Oklahoma is passing laws that Democrats in Washington might not like, is true. And hardly a shocker.
For anyone who thought Oklahoma might be leaning blue, or even a touch purple, consider this: In November, 65.6 percent of voters in the state cast ballots for Republican candidate John McCain. That’s the highest percentage among all the states. (Wyoming was a close second.) Four years earlier, the tally was exactly the same — 65.6 percent backed George Bush, while 34.4 percent voted for Democrat John Kerry.


That said, the anonymous author of this e-mail muddles many of the details. Let’s take a look at each claim in turn:

• Ten Commandments: It’s true that in April, the Oklahoma Senate passed a bill (HB 1330) by a vote of 37 to 9, calling for the construction of a monument to the Ten Commandments on state Capitol grounds. It wasn’t a bill to place the commandments on the "front entrance," as the e-mail says, and the Senate vote didn’t make this law. But Gov. Brad Henry did sign the final legislation into law on May 18. The monument has to be constructed using private funds, and some legislators did raise concerns that it would face a legal challenge.

• Illegal Immigrants: Oklahoma didn’t pass a law "to incarcerate all illegal immigrants," but it did pass HB 1804, which was signed into law in 2007. That law makes it a felony for anyone to transport or to "conceal, harbor, or shelter from detection any alien … knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that the alien has come to, entered, or remained in the United States in violation of law.” The law also makes it illegal for businesses, governments and other organizations to issue identification cards to illegal immigrants, and it requires companies doing work for the state to verify their employees’ immigration status using a federal electronic system. That last provision, and other employment measures, were still being blocked by a court challenge this month.

• DNA Samples: A state law (SB 1102) signed by the governor in May, requires that law enforcement collect DNA samples from illegal immigrants arrested for any crime — not from "any and all illegals" as the e-mail claims.

• Sovereign State: The Oklahoma Legislature passed a joint resolution reasserting the state’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment and declaring that the federal government should "cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers." The resolution, which doesn’t carry the weight of law, was vetoed by the governor in April. The Legislature then passed a concurrent resolution on the matter, which doesn’t require the governor’s signature. A similar 10th Amendment resolution is still pending in the Texas Legislature. But the suggestion by the e-mail’s author that this will lead to a revival of the old Confederate States of America overstates the intent of such resolutions. They’re confirming what’s written in the U.S. Constitution, after all, not stating any kind of desire to secede from the union.

• Guns in Cars: The last item in the e-mail may refer to a February appeals court decision upholding an Oklahoma law that says employers must permit employees to keep guns in their locked cars at work if they wish. The law was actually passed in two stages in 2004 and 2005, but it had been blocked by a Tulsa judge’s court order in 2007. It’s worth noting that it was a federal judge that overturned an Oklahoma judge’s order on this one. We don’t know what "bold steps to take away our guns" the author of the message is referring to, but the U.S. Supreme Court last summer ruled that individuals have the right to bear arms for personal use.

In some places the family "Tree" is missing some "forks", so the DNA trail will be a bit confusing....

Are you sayin the family tree is a Poplar

In keeping with your thread. An Oklahoma Ballot initiative to be voted on Nov 2 is State Question 755, better known as the "Save Our State" constitutional amendment, would prevent courts from using international or Sharia law. The question made it to the ballot by passing the state Senate 41-2 and the House 82-10.

Voters ban judges from using international law </SPAN>

Okla. Muslims plan legal challenge to ban on Islamic law
http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php


OKLAHOMA CITY - Muslims in Oklahoma say they'll ask a federal court to overturn an amendment to the state Constitution that bars judges from considering international or Islamic law when deciding cases.



Muneer Awad, who heads the Oklahoma branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, says the amendment approved Tuesday by 70 percent of voters violates the U.S. Constitution.

Republican Rex Duncan, the sponsor of the measure, called it a "pre-emptive strike" designed to close the door on activist judges. But Awad says it reflects anti-Muslim prejudice and would prevent judges from giving due consideration to treaties endorsed by the U.S. Congress.

CAIR and other Muslim and civil liberties groups have scheduled a news conference Thursday to announce a legal challenge to the amendment.

After tires slashed, Oklahoma townsfolk refuse to help ‘God Hates Fags’ protesters

About a half-dozen members of the Westboro Baptist Church traveled to McAlester, Oklahoma Saturday to picket Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey's funeral. Baptist Church traveled to McAlester, Oklahoma Saturday to picket Army Sgt. Jason James McCluskey's funeral.

Following the protest, the group returned to their minivan to find that the front and rear tires on the passenger side of the vehicle had been slashed.
"To make matters worse, as their minivan slowly hobbled away on two flat tires, with a McAlester police car following behind, the protesters were unable to find anyone in town who would repair their vehicle, according to police," Tulsa World reported.

In the end, the AAA motor club was called and the minivan was eventually loaded on to a flatbed truck.

Assistant Police Chief Darrell Miller told Tulsa World's Manny Gamallo that the vehicle was taken to Walmart for replacement tires.

But even during the protest, things did not go smoothly for the anti-gay church members. By Miller's estimation, the church members faced a counter protest of nearly 1000 people.


"[T]hey faced off with a massive crowd of jeering and taunting counterprotesters at Third Street and Washington Avenue, two blocks from the First Baptist Church, where the soldier's funeral was held," Gamallo wrote.
The Westboro members were afforded the protection of more than two dozen police. "We're here to protect everyone," Miller said.

The church members say that because the US tolerates homosexuality, "God hates America." They frequently hold signs saying "God hates fags" and "Thank God for IEDs."

Westboro Baptist Church claims to have participated in 41,000 protests since 1991.

It's probably just me, but that statement strikes me as funny

Heard this on the radio yesterday.... I got a good laugh. Bet they don't protest in McAlester any more...

You know its over for your state when the locals support the" fags" instead of sticking with the religious christian beliefs this nation was founded on.
Next they will be getting married like here in mexifornia.
You will vote to say no way and millions of votes will be snubbed by one liberal judge, who you guessed it is gay and immoral himself.
Sorry to see you folk becoming like this shi*hole (ca.)
