2021 GOP State Convention Info


With the completion of the County GOP conventions the emails are flowing from the State GOP informing delegates of what is coming up at the State Convention. Here is the web page on the State Convention with a list of resolutions and rule changes. The actual proposed Convention Rules are not yet listed which is normal from such a tyrannical and devious GOP chairman as it prevents decent people from mobilizing opposition against what will be self serving rules designed to prevent honesty and transparency at the Convention.


2019 Proposed Rule Changes


Executive Director, this was likely left over from 2019 when Senator Lankford  was attempting to stamp out the grass roots leadership of the GOP.  It was passed over and might be brought back up again. Vote no please, keep the Chairman and Vice Chair of the GOP in control of the GOP so we can replace their sorry asses like we are about to do with McLain and Jemison. 


There were three items forcing  candidates to mark up the GOP Party Platform indicating if they agree or disagreed with the Platform.  These might have already been voted on in 2019 but if they come up, this is an excellent idea. 


Both of these 2019 Rule Changes might just be still on the website and on the convention info site due to Chairman David McLain's incompetence.


2020 Proposed Rule Changes

Logan county, full GOP financial statements available to all.  This is needed, vote yes it comes up please.


Amendments to the Amendments, sets up a budget committee with the idea of hiring a Chief Operating Officer that cannot be fired by the Chairman without 2/3rds majority approval of the budget board.  This is another Senator Lankford attempt to erase the power and accountability of the Republican Party and place it in the hand picked budget board committee.  Reject it please, vote no.


Most of the changes deal with the annual precinct meetings, district meetings, county meetings, and state meetings. Several appear to be identical.


The Okmulgee proposed rule states that candidates for county office being required to attend four out of six previous county meetings. The rule appears to be aimed at preventing outsiders from flooding the precinct meetings and convention with an idea of taking over. This seems reasonable but it is actually a huge problem on several levels.


First is the  GOP Party Rules, they have no such restriction for being a County GOP candidate. That alone makes the Okmulgee County Rule invalid and illegal. So it cannot be adopted and it actually makes the removal of the Okmulgee County officials possible under Rule 3 a of the GOP Party Rules. Second reason, it cuts off the flow of new blood into the Party. At one point the religious right was shunned in the GOP, then the Ron Paul 2008 members, then the Tea Party members in 2010, now the GOP under McLain is wanting to shun the Trump supporters.  Please vote no on this resolutino.


The final proposed rule change is from Tulsa County, Alee McLain asking for an independent third party being hired to keep the books. I would question the need for this one especially coming from the wife of the most tyrannical and non transparent GOP chairman in recent memory. Kind of like Idi Amin campaigning against cannibalism or Chris Kannady advocating for less sexual assault against women.  Please vote no.



2021 Resolutions


Bryan County's resolution, a wonderfully expansive and detailed listing of prohibitions upon things like gender studies, racism targeting whites, a comprehensive listing of many of the politically correct attacks upon normal people. Not sure how it can be implemented nor if there is the stomach for forcing the elected officials to follow such a lengthy and detailed list. Perhaps a single line on political correctness being added to our statement of principles and then incorporating a much simplified version of this document into the Party Platform.  Please vote yes


Delaware County resolution, addresses election integrity and the fiasco of the 2020 Presidential election and advocating that our federal congressional officers stand against HR 1 that would nationalize our Constitutionally protected right for the states to control election law. Wonderful, but without actually holding our Congressmen accountable this would be all talk. I would love to see that both Lankford and Inhofe be held accountable before passing this resolution.   Please vote yes.


Logan County resolution, addresses states rights and other issues. This resolution needs to be studied and ensure that our Platform has implemented the issues into the first page of the Party Platform, the statement of Republican principles.  Please vote yes.


Major County resolution, similar to the Logan County resolution. The issues need to be addressed in our Party Platform if they are not already addressed.  Please vote yes.


Mayes County resolution, an outstanding resolution that needs to be passed as the first business after electing a convention chairman. This is an expanded and much improved censure resolution that appears to be the Sooner Tea party censure resolution that was published on January 24th prior to the first precinct meetings. Passing this puts teeth into the Republican Party and after passing we need to incorporate the resolution into our Party rules.  Please vote yes.


Texas County resolution, covers absentee voting, voting machines, foreign ownership of land in Oklahoma, and other issues.  Please vote yes.


Wagoner County resolution, another wonderful and needed call to censure both Lankford and Inhofe for their cowardice and treason including a call for their resolution.  Please vote yes and do so loudly!


Woods County resolution, calls for Oklahoma being a Second Amendment sanctuary state, term limits for congressional members, and removing the fence around the U.S. Capitol.  Please vote yes.
