STATE QUESTIONS: PART 2

Did you do some homework on Sharia Law? This is huge – pretty much under the radar too! But ask New Jersey what they would do if they had the chance!

State Question 755 – Prohibits courts from using International or Sharia Law to decide cases

The Daily Oklahoman actually states that we should vote against this question. THAT IS CRAZY! LUDICROUS! Take Sharia out of the equation – would you want the law of This Land to be subject to other laws from other countries? Or, even the International Law, of governing lands – say the United Nations? Put Sharia Law, which is Islamic Law, back in the equation. Under this law a husband can demand sex (ie. Rape) of his wife, even abuse her if needed. This is terrible law!

1). Belittles and ignores women and their human rights – where is NOW on this question??

2). It is opening our courts to another faith, nationality and culture. All sorts of bad can come from that!

3). What would stop someone from "becoming Islamic in faith and practice" just to take advantage of women?

4). How might other religions and national beliefs follow suit and insist their "ways" be protected.

Anybody say "Anarchy" warning?!?

Shame on you Daily Oklahoman! How many will take your paper to the voting booth and vote the wrong way? THIS IS TERRIBLE.

A "YES" VOTE IS THE ONLY WAY TO VOTE. VOTE YES!!

State Question 754 – Appropriations

Not totally sure on this one, but one thing I don't like: Last line of the question: "Cannot be repealed or amended." That does not sound good for the future, when it comes to how the Constitution of OK directs using money or appropriations. When you are talking about English as the standard, expected, supported language – I like and would support a permanent Constitutional change.

Evidently, this was to also address SQ 744. Thus, NO is the vote here.

NO on SQ 744 and 754.

The remaining questions:

747 – Term Limits Essentially – Yes

748 – New Commission on redistricting after census – Yes

750 – Required signatures on Petitions – Yes

752 – Vacant Judicial Seats – Yes

756 - Health Care - One cannot be required to participate in Obama plan - Yes

757 – Increase money into special fund – from 10% up to 15% - No

Concerning Insurance Commissioner – I am voting to keep Kim Holland. In the insurance realm, she has attained a status that will allow OK to put forth leadership and she has work hard to fight aspects of fraud and abuse. It is a tougher vote for me, as she is on the democratic ticket. However, the Republican opponent would come into the insurance offices a newbie and have less influence at a critical time.

(Majority of the following is counsel from a wise leader):

Concerning Congressional Offices - We will elect one U.S. Senator and the clear choice is Dr. Tom Coburn. We will elect all 5 U.S. Congressmen. The only U.S. Congressman who is not truly anti-abortion, anti-big government or anti-tax is Democrat Dan Boren from the large eastern Oklahoma district. Boren also voted for the bailout and the University bailout. He may be against Obamacare, but he slides other large spending votes under the radar. I consider him to simply be stuck: We Okies don't want Obama's agenda or heavy burden – he knows it and can't act against the constituents on big ticket items. He is career and needs to go.

We have clear cut choices in the other four Congressional races. In each case the Republicans are the best choice and in District 5, one should definitely vote for James Lankford. Please check your district and consider your vote wisely.

Concerning the Judicial Retention – I am voting NO on all six judges. If Oklahomans vote to elect a Republican governor to go with a Republican controlled legislature and State Question 752 passes, we have the real possibility of making much needed judicial reform.
