Now the bill is waiting to be heard on Wednesday, April 1st, in the Elections and Ethics Committee chaired by Representative Paul Wesselhoft.

On April 11th, Oklahoma Republicans will elect, or re-elect, the State Chair of the Oklahoma Republican Party. This is a critical election about the future of our party in Oklahoma. I’ve been involved in the Oklahoma Republican Party for more than 27 years, serving as my Precinct Chair for most of those years, serving as Chair of the Oklahoma County Republicans when George W. was elected, and then as Vice Chair of the State Party during those trying times when John McCain was our nominee. And I’ve held almost every office possible within the party, either being appointed or elected to serve my fellow Republicans.

The Republican Party, also commonly called the GOP (for "Grand Old Party"), emerged in 1854 to combat the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which threatened to extend slavery into the territories, and to promote more vigorous modernization of the economy.  Almost 160 years ago the Republican Party was the vanguard for life and liberty.  A century and a half later those principles are still the cornerstone of the GOP.  Following are excerpts of the original Republican Party Platform.

I'm often asked how to get involved in politics. The question comes out of exasperation and even desperation over political differences.  "How can I make a difference" is the question people most often ask.
