OK2A-Action
HJR1009 In Trouble! The Republicans are at it again. HJR1009 - OK2A's proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would strengthen the right to keep and bear arms in Oklahoma - is in serious trouble. Some of the House Republicans have drank David Boren's Cool-Aid. We know two Republican Representatives have said not just no, but no way to signing HJR1009 out of conference. We will include their names and contact information below. As the day progresses, we will add names as needed. But, first, some points for you to use as you make calls and send emails: 1. The Thunder will NOT leave OKC because of HJR1009. If that was truly inevitable, explain why the Pelicans (NBA) are still in New Orleans 4 years after Louisiana added the same language to their state constitution? 2. It will not change the fact that events at public venues will be controlled by whomever is organizing the event. When leasing a facility, the entity leasing has legal control and can set a no-gun policy. That will not change. 3. David Boren, who opposes this amendment, is a member of the Board of Advisors for Everytown for Gun Safety - Michael Bloomberg's anti-gun organization. David Boren doesn't seem to care if Oklahomans know he has thrown in with Bloomberg, but do Reps. Watson and Wright want everyone to know they are siding with Bloomberg while he stands against gun rights in Oklahoma? We appreciate Representatives Tommy Hardin and Jason Nelson for agreeing to support HJR1009 by signing. However, we need you to call Representative Weldon Watson and Representative Harold Wright and ask them why they have decided to stand with Bloomberg and against the right of Oklahomans to keep and bear arms. Urge them to change their minds and sign HJR1009 out of conference. Remember, be polite but be firm. Weldon Watson - 405.557.7330 - weldon.watson@okhouse.gov Harold Wright - 405.557.7325 - harold.wright@okhouse.gov
