I don't think this resolution has enough teeth to be effective. I suggest that Key threaten to send a posse of Goober and Gomer to the White House and place Obama under citizen's arrest if he fails to "cease and desist."

KWC - Tone it down with the rude comments. If you don't like the man's policies, try to add to a discussion rather than just name calling.

I personally think Mr Key is a good man, and thank him for his efforts on this issue.

Now, are you saying that because you believe he was wrong for that conspiracy - we shouldn't be concerned with the federal government violating the constitution?

That's absurd.

Charles Key is the tin foil hat conspiracy nutjob who for years chased the "government coverup conspiracy" rabbit concerning the Murrah Building bombing by Timothy McVeigh. He is a conspiracy nut looking for his 16th minute of fame.

Henry is term limited and cannot run again.

Thank the Lord.

As far a Mary Fallin goes, I don't personally feel one way or the other about her. I believe she is a Republican at heart, but just likes to spend money.

Brogdan is my choice. Now if he would just bring the Open Carry law back up I will be happy.

Just a quick note: Gov. Henry is not up for reelection, his term is up.

BK Campbell -- I tried to post this a minute ago, but my computer, which is extremely old and probably on its last leg, just threw me back to the main page, so I have to type my post again.

Mary Fallin, a Republican, is the former Lt. Governor here, and is now a U.S. Congresswoman. While I don't despise her, I just can't completely trust anyone who voted for the Generational Theft Act. Sen. Brogdon, on the other hand, on top of authoring SJR-10, has been working to garner support for his proposal to give something like $2.6 billion (yes, with a "b") BACK to the people of Oklahoma in the form of tax rebates. See below:

And I agree, there are a LOT of Americans who are getting mighty tired of party politics and the nonsense that's been coming out of Washington since at least the time of LBJ.

Air Force Brat I am not familiar with OK. politicans but I will be pulling for Sen. Brogdon as well. What position in the state if any does Mary Fallin hold? I think all across America and especially in the states embracing states rights, the supporters have a good chance at being elected regardless of their party. I think the American people are getting tired of the politics of "party" and in todays climate, real change is yearned for. Not the false change that Obama promised but real change that empowers the people once again.

Jim and BK Campbell -- Brad Henry is term-limited, so he's gone in 2010. He will not be in the next election. It would be great if Sen. Brogdon, the author of SJR-10 (the "twin" resolution to HJR-1003) was elected. One early poll of a couple hundred people showed Mary Fallin ahead by a large margin, but NO poll done this long before the official start of a campaign has any meaning at all. Besides, Fallin voted for the so-called stimulus (a/k/a the rape of America). People will be made aware of that as the campaigns kick off.

I salute Charles Key for standing up for the people of OK!!! Here in Ga. the senate passed the "Jefferson Resolution" 41 to 1 with about a half dozen members absent. Now it goes to the house and I expect the same support there. Sounds like OK should send Gov. Henry to the unemployment line next election> Way to go OK. God bless you.

I've got to say I didn't think they'd move so fast on this, but it's a good thing that they are. Usually the only legislation that goes through any political process quickly is that which is designed to raise revenue...

Way to go Representative Key and the Constitutionally minded OK House!!! Now, it's the OK Senate's turn....

Good for Charles Key! Guess which current governor will not be getting my vote next election!!

Come on OK Senate - pass this or loose the next election!

Wasn't it just last week that I read that the gov. vetoed this? Is this the bill/resolution difference again?

Michael Boldin

Mike - you're absolutely right. Oklahoma Gov Henry did veto HJR1003 on April 24. In response to the veto, Charles Key reintroduced this as a concurrent resolution, which does not require signature by the government. It went to a vote pretty quickly. Hope to see something positive from the Senate soon as well.
