How do you identify those candidates that have the courage to uphold their oath of office

How do you identify those candidates that have the courage to uphold their oath of office “to support and defend the Constitutions” and those that will sell out our constitutional rights at the request of affluent special interest groups?

Easier said than done right? The Republicans ran on a platform of “return to the constitution” yet they refuse to repeal an “unconstitutional” law against the gamefowl harvest industry.

Gamecocks are livestock, the method of harvest of gamecocks is allowing them to fight.

Can you imagine a law that stated “it’s illegal to own and possess your livestock for the purpose and/or with the intent to harvest your livestock” applied to ANY other animal agriculture industry and our elected officials refusing to recognize that law as unconstitutional and having the courage and common sense to repeal it?

Can you imagine legislators that support “by apathy and dereliction of duty to defend the constitutional rights of rural Oklahoma residents” sending Law Enforcement Officers across the state to make raids and create a danger to human lives (as any police raid does) to defend livestock that is simply being harvested by the owner of the livestock?

Our legislators and elected officials that put a higher value on animals, fish and fowl (chickens) than human lives are exposing themselves everyday but you must wake up and look at which legislators are selling out to these well funded special interest groups.

Special interest groups surround our state capitol and they are attempting to buy our legislators and our constitutional liberties everyday the only way to stop our constitutional rights from being bought by special interest is elect people of honor and courage that will not sell out their oath of office to special interests but instead will stand up and defend our constitutional rights even when it isn’t a popular position to take.

Ask your elected officials two simple questions:

1. Is a law making it illegal to own and possess your livestock for the purpose or with the intent to harvest your livestock constitutional or unconstitutional?

And demand an answer, “constitutional” or “unconstitutional.”

2. What have you done to repeal the unconstitutional law against the gamefowl industry?

And demand a simple answer. Waffling, sidestepping and dismissing the question is a sure sign of a legislator that does not have the courage to defend our constitutions.

Any politician that will sell out the constitution over a chicken will sell out over anything.
