HJR 1054 is still available for a hearing in the House Rules committee anytime within our committee deadline which extends for another four weeks. The practice of placing a bill or resolution on an agenda one week and hearing it in a subsequent week is a common practice.

While many may have assumed that HJR 1054 would be heard this week simply because it was placed on an agenda is a misplaced assumption.

The House is currently reviewing a myriad of state question proposals and viewing each in both the context of each resolutions language and the overall number of questions that could go on the ballot.

Again I can assure you that having a bill or resolution not heard in the first week of committee meetings does not equate to that legislation not moving forward.

Finally, for the record, no one has disdain and concern over “Obama-care” more than I.

Sincerely,

Chris Benge

ACTION ALERT!!!
OKLAHOMA HEALTHCARE OPT-OUT IN JEOPARDY!

Fellow Oklahomans,

Speaker of the House, Chris Benge (R), District 68, has pulled house bill HJR 1054, the Freedom of Health Care Choice Act, from the House Rules Committee agenda. We ask those of you who are against the federal takeover of healthcare to call, email, or visit Mr. Benge to voice your support for the bill and to ask why this important legislation was removed from the agenda.

Important News from the
Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance (OCA)

Rally at the capitol on Monday, February 2, 2010, 10 am, first floor rotunda. Be ready to visit your Senator and Representative and start twisting arms. We have a massive legislative agenda including a law that stops Obama Care at the state border.

After a short rally, we go up and pack the House and Senate galleys. If the seats fill up, keep circulating between the two. The legislators will be conducting business, but they will notice a large crowd filing through the galleys. They won’t have time to realize that you are coming in and going back out; they will think there are far more people than there are if we use this trick.

If you can’t attend, please send as many emails and phone calls as you can between 9 am and 5 pm. Pick the email addresses and phone numbers of the state sites show below. Please mention the OCA (Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance) legislative agenda and that you support our goals. Try to get friends and family to attend or call the capitol. This is “do or die” day for the conservative constitutional movement here in Oklahoma.
