++ AGENDA FOR THIS WEEK’S MEETING

Our 12 noon luncheon for Wednesday, July 6th will be held at
Italiano’s restaurant, 4801 North Lincoln in OKC. The main focus of
our meeting this week will be to determine the outstanding lawmakers
in both the Senate and House as well as the winner of this year’s RINO
(Republican In Name Only) awards. We will have a time of debate on the
prospective winners where anyone can have input. Then our dues paying
members present at the meeting will vote for the winners of our
various awards. If we finish this business in time we will show the 12
minute video about the signing of the Declaration of Independence,
THEY PLEDGED THEIR LIVES, THEIR FORTUNES AND THEIR SACRED HONOR,
narrated by Paul Harvey.

++ LAWMAKER RANKINGS FOR 2011 SESSION

Following will be the rankings of Senate Republicans, with the most
conservative first and then on down to the most liberal. Following
each name and then the town or city in which they live, will be 2
numbers. The first number is their score on the Oklahoma Constitution
Newspaper’s Conservative Index for the 2011 session which adjourned in
May of this year. The second number will represent their average score
for however many years they have been in the legislature. We put a
little more emphasis on this year’s score as it reflects how they are
governing in recent times. As a point of interest, once a lawmaker has
been in office 4 years or more, their session score does not vary much
from their lifetime score. Each year there are 10 key votes which make
up the index. A lawmaker gets 10 points for each conservative vote, no
points for a liberal vote and an unearned 3 points for each vote they
missed.
