++  AGENDA FOR THIS WEEK’S MEETING

Our 12 noon luncheon for Wednesday, August 1st will be held at
Italiano’s restaurant, 4801 North Lincoln in OKC. During the 10th
Amendment rally at the Capitol a few Saturday’s ago, I talked with
State Representative George Faught and he agreed to come for a
candidate forum before the Primary run-off vote for the 2nd
Congressional race to be held on August 28th. Knowing candidate
Markwyane Mullin’s handlers at AH Strategies frequently urge their
clients not attend an OCPAC interview, I simply contacted them and was
told they would urge Mr. Mullin not to attend. Therefore, unless
something changes we will only have Representative Faught as our
candidate. We do not have a survey for a Congressional race, so
besides an expanded time for him to make a case as to why he should be
elected, the rest of the time will be questions and answers from our
members and visitors. So bring your best questions, but be sure to
keep them directed toward the issues related toward the federal
government.

I also want to welcome the many new readers who signed up at this
year’s Reclaiming Christ for America Conference this past Wednesday
through Friday evening. DVDs of all the speakers and the event will be
available in the near future, I will try to have some of them at a
future OCPAC meeting. I could only watch bits and pieces of the event
because of working the OCPAC table. One part which really stood out
was Scott Lively doing a re-creation of, arguably the most famous
sermon ever delivered in America, Sinners In the Hands of an Angry
God. The sermon was originally delivered by Jonathan Edwards, the 3rd
pastor of the church in North Hampton Massachusetts. What I could see
and hear of his presentation, it was really strong. The sermon is
available on the inter-net.

++  TREVOR LOUDON LAST WEEK AT OCPAC

Mr. Loudon turned out to be one of those exceptional speakers that
comes through Oklahoma from time to time. His book, BARACK OBAMA AND
THE ENEMIES WITHIN was published in October of 2011 and it is quite a
large work, 711 pages. During his presentation, he did a great job of
naming the many communists, socialists, Marxists and Progressives that
have worked for decades to bring us to where we are today, and that is
with them in many places of power and authority. He really connected
the dots and showed how they are inter-connected with each other.

A you tube of his talk is supposed to be on our new web-site at
http://www.ocpac.tk/, however, I can’t seem to access it, you might
give it a try. Also, he was interviewed on Glen Howard’s Senior World
Radio program which airs each Sunday morning from 10 until 11:00 a.m.
on KTOK, 1000 AM. You can log on to Glen’s web-site at www.seniorworldradio.com
and easily find the interview with Trevor Loudon. I got to hear a good
deal of the program on the way to Church this past Sunday and it was
excellent, Glen did a great job of drawing out the important
information from Mr. Loudon

++  OCPAC MEMBERSHIP UP-DATE & CHALLENGE

As of the end of July we now have 229 dues paying members, which is 12
more than we had for the entire year of 2011. A very generous donor
has agreed to offer a $1,500 membership challenge through the end of
August. This will be a dollar for dollar match. Our basic membership
is $50 per year and we can receive that through cash, money order or
check. We have the Elephant provider level which is $180 per year and
that can be paid by money order, check, or we can draft your checking
account for $15 per month. Our highest level of membership is the
Elephant provider and RINO Hunter level at $360 per year. That can be
paid by money order, check, or we can draft your checking account for
$30 per month which is how I pay my dues.

State law does not allow cash contributions of more than $50 per year
and corporate checks are not allowed for a PAC. If you chose to
contribute by having your checking account drafted and at some time
need to discontinue, just send me an e-mail and we will take you off
our drafting list, it is very simple.

I can not tell you how much we appreciate everyone’s support. Our
expenses in the PAC are very low, probably less than 2% because all
our officers and members are volunteers. Therefore, virtually all of
our dues go directly into the campaigns of the best candidates we can
determine to support as well as the 10% we set aside for our
accountability efforts (that would be robo calls or direct mail into
the districts of errant Republican lawmakers.

Again, thanks so much for the support, if you have not joined as yet
or simply want to increase what you have given, please do so now so we
can take advantage of the dollar for dollar match. It is important to
know how much we are going to have to finish the campaign season as we
want to get all our contributions into the hands of our candidates by
the end of September or first week in October. To contribute, see the
instructions following my sign off.

*  GREETINGS FROM ARIZONIA  -  An Edmond home school mom and her son
attended OCPAC from time to time until they moved to Yuma Arizona
several months ago. I recently received this encouraging e-mail from
her and wanted to pass it on to the activists in Oklahoma:

“Good morning Charlie

I attended the Colorado River Tea Party event last week - they provide
a similar function as OCPAC for conservatives here in Yuma. When I
told them I came from Oklahoma I drew immediate attention - they
wanted me to pass along their well-wishes for the valiant fight for
conservative causes underway in OK.  Keep up the good fight Charlie,
folks as far away as Arizona are inspired by the warriors in OK.”

*  EATING AT CHICK-FIL-A ON WEDNESDAY  -  This past Thursday evening
State Representative Sally Kern was on one of the local news stations
along with a spokesman for the Cimarron Alliance, a political and
social action group for the homosexual community here in Oklahoma.

Sally was standing up for Chick-Fil-A’s CEO Dan Cathy’s constitutional
right to express his opinion that marriage is between a man and a
woman only. As a result of his statement, the homosexual community
across America along with their liberal enablers have displayed their
hate and venom toward Mr. Cathy, a dedicated Christian. They have
called for a boycott and in some cases such as Chicago, are
prohibiting Chick-Fil-A from building new stores.

As a result, some Christian leaders across America have suggest a
great way for Christians to express their thanks to Mr. Cathy for
standing up for decency and family friendly values is for Christians
to eat a meal at Chick-Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1st. I have even
heard that some churches that have a meal on Wednesday nights before
church services are planning on ordering meals from Chick-Fil-A. I
know where Linda and I will be having dinner on Wednesday, that place
the cows say: “eat more chicken“.















++  FAREWELL TO A PATRIOT, V.Z. LAWTON

This past Saturday, 3 to 4 hundred folks gathered at Fairview Baptist
Church in Edmond for a memorial service for our long time friend and
patriot, V.Z. Lawton who died last week at 81 years of age. V.Z. had a
grandfather, 3 uncles and 2 brothers who were preachers, but didn’t
give his heart and soul to the Lordship of Jesus until a couple of
years ago.

He was a graduate of Classen High School, served as an officer in the
U.S. Army, then returned to Oklahoma to become a home builder, real
estate broker and stock broker. V.Z. was a skilled golfer, as an
armature he frequently shot below par golf and won many tournaments.
He had a hole in one 3 times in his life. His real passion was
handball and racquetball. Not only was he a state champion, he was at
one time rated the 22nd best racquetball player in the nation and
served as a Commissioner of the International racquetball Association
and as State Chairman of the Oklahoma Racquetball Association from
1973-76.  V.Z. was still playing racquetball until he broke his hip
about a year ago.

Beginning in 1987 he began to work for the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). He was working in the Murah building when it
was blown up in 1995. A few minutes after the building was blown up, a
person across the street took a picture of the building. V.Z. had that
picture blown up which clearly revealed him peering over the edge of
about the 6th floor to see what had happened, that is if my memory
serves me correctly. A lady was badly injured and bleeding so V.Z.
carried her down a stairwell and at the same time led another co-
worker who had been at least temporarily blinded to safety.

V.Z. always believed there were two explosions as he says he was hit
in the head by a falling ceiling tile just before the major blast
occurred. He joined the Oklahoma City Bombing Investigative Committee
and as such co-authored the book: THE FINAL REPORT which is full of
depositions and evidence of a broader conspiracy than just McVeigh and
Nichols.

V.Z. never met a stranger and attend OCPAC meetings as often as
possible. He loved this nation, understood the principles upon which
is was built and was ready and willing to defend them. He was overly
kind toward me. I would urge Christians to keep Betty and the rest of
the family in your prayers. We will all miss him.

I look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday.
