– AGENDA FOR THE MEETING
Our speaker for this week’s meeting will be Amanda Teegarten from
Tulsa. Mrs. Teegarten is the chief researcher for Oklahoman’s For
Sovereignty and Free Enterprise (OK-SAFE). Besides attending, Amanda
was one of the speakers at the Freedom 21 Conference in Dallas a
couple of months ago. Amanda will give us a run-down on that important
conference. She has also researched the bail-out and if time permits
will reveal some of the "hidden Easter eggs" to someday be found in
the bail-out plan. A big thanks to Senator Jim Inhofe and
Representative Frank Lucas for voting against such a power grabbing
measure.
In addition, I will have proposals to make 2 changes to our by-laws as
well as consider another candidate for a contribution. We are
continuing to have more people join OCPAC which allows us some extra
money for distribution. By the way, our membership now stands at an
all time annual high of 199 dues paying members. If some of you
reading this would like to join to help put us over the 200 number,
please see the instructions at the end of the e-mail. Again, I want to
express my sincere appreciation for those supporting OCPAC.
Appreciation to so many people all over the state of Oklahoma. I am
told all the time by lawmakers as well as candidates that we are
making a conservative difference in Oklahoma.
– PASTORS STANDING TALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Two weeks ago Sunday, 33 pastors spread out across THESE United States
of America, stood in their pulpits and did something pastors used to
do an a regular basis at this time of the year. They preached what
used to be called "election sermons", that is before an activist U.S.
Supreme Court found a mythical clause in the Constitution or Bill of
Rights called "separation of church and state."
I don’t know who they all were but locally Pastor Paul Blair of
Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond stood tall in his pulpit and
informed his congregation. The Oklahoman reported on the sermon as
well as the CBS affiliate in OKC, which is Channel 9. All of these
pastors sent copies of their sermons to the ACLU, the IRS, The People
for The "UN"-American (emphases mine) Way and Americans United for a
Separation of Church and State. With the Alliance Defense Fund, a high
powered Christian Civil Liberties group of attorneys standing next to
them, they are ready to stand up for free speech as well Christian
liberties.
Of course not all agree with their tactics. I saw on the News 9 early
morning show this past week a brief interview with the pastor of
Northwest Baptist Church in Oklahoma City take issue with Pastor
Blair’s tactics. In the interest of full disclosure Northwest Baptist
was the church I attended the most as a child growing up in OKC. While
I don’t know the young pastor of today, I suspect he is exceedingly
ignorant of our nation’s heritage as well as poorly qualified to take
scriptural truths or Biblical principles and translate them into
public policy.
I am suggesting that I too was a pastor in that same mind set about 25
years ago, before I was awakened to the fact that the political
process is just another arena of spiritual warfare in which to be
engaged. The pastor had such a "sweet sweet" smile as he suggested
that such activities wouldn’t good as someone might make a mistake in
endorsing someone who later turned out not to be as good as first
thought.
Hopefully someone will get him a copy of David Barton’s DVD called,
THE ROLL OF PASTORS AND CHRISTIANS IN CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
If the Clergy, prior to our war of Independence, was anything like this young pastor,
we would all still be sending our taxes to England and we would be un-
armed while speaking a funny version of English.
I want to commend Pastor Blair and others like him for standing tall,
not being afraid to be relevant in the public square. During this
election season, they are the ones being salt and light in a society
that seriously needs Christians to display some leadership and
COURAGE.
– DAN BOREN AND THE NEXT STIMULUS PACKAGE
This past week U.S. Representative Dan Boren, representing much of the
Southeastern and Eastern part of Oklahoma, called for another stimulus
plan which included money for roads and bridges. Did you ever wonder
why Boren and others of his ilk, just want to keep printing ever more
paper currency to turn loose into the economy? (To buy votes of
course.)
I agree that we need to spend more on roads and bridges, but here is
my question. Congressman Boren, wouldn’t it be better to stop
diverting about 30% of the funds collected at the gas pumps to
expenditures other than improving our roads and bridges? Currently the
diverted funds pay for highway enhancement projects, hiking trails and
bike lanes. And of course don’t forget the financial losers known as
mass transit and Amtrack.
Congressman Boren, if you just can’t keep from wasting our badly
needed funds on the previously mentioned expenditures, then why don’t
you sponsor legislation to increase the fuel fee on diesel and
gasoline. Wouldn’t it be better to collect real money for those
projects rather than print ever more paper dollars and put them into
circulation? Folks, if you want to know why prices keep climbing, it
is because of the kinds of actions Boren is proposing. Inflation is
caused by expanding our money supply.
– BIG COUP FOR THE SOCIALISTS AND GLOBALISTS
Many Americans have perked up about what is going on in the economy.
Last week the leader of France called for a new world order. Others
have called for a global central bank and a global currency. The
leaders and central bankers from 7 of the G8 nations met to discuss
moving in unity to solve the financial risks. Others have been
forthcoming by saying this "crisis" has been brought upon us by man
made policies. England has moved to nationalize most of its banks, and
that is what is starting to happen here in this country.
The John Birch Society has been warning for 50 years now that there
are individuals as well as organizations within our own nation who are
dedicated to destroying our national sovereignty and merging us into a
one world global socialist society. Over the past 3 weeks or so we
have seen enormous steps toward that end take place in this country as
well as around the world. In the midst of throwing around hundreds of
billions of dollars, the establishment is also busy using this crisis
toward defining and implementing the framework for the heaviest amount
of "central planning" that this nation has ever experienced.
One of the really bright spots we learned while attending the recent
Birch Society’s 50th Anniversary is that the Society has had 3,000
new members join in the past 4 months. I predict, should Obama win the
election, that number will continue to increase as educated people
will be able to discern how much of a Marxist, Socialist and Liberal
Obama actually happens to be.
For the poll question, do you think the man made financial crisis came
about under the accidental view of history or the conspiratorial view
of history? Please log on to www.ocpac.info. to register your
opinions. Do you think knowing the truth of that question is
important?
I look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday
