SENATOR COBURN TO RECEIVE AWARD FROM GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA

GOA to Recognize Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, MD Gun Owners of America is pleased to invite you to join us in Tulsa for a banquet and award presentation to the U.S. Senate's leading Second Amendment defender. On August 14, 2009, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn will receive a "Friend of the Second Amendment Award" in appreciation for the tremendous amount of work that he has done to defend our Constitutional liberties. Senator Coburn is the most effective pro-gun leader in the Senate, standing up for the rights of gun owners across the United States. This year Senator Coburn led, and won, the fight to repeal the National Parks Service gun ban. Senator Coburn believes, like you do, that Americans should not be forced to sacrifice their Second Amendment rights when entering National Parks. Senator Coburn is also on the front line of other battles in Congress, including efforts to protect the Second Amendment rights of veterans, repeal the gun ban in the District of Columbia, and to block anti-gun bills like a new semi-auto ban and legislation that would close down gun shows. Senator Coburn has earned the "Friend of the Second Amendment Award" for his leadership in the Senate and for his willingness to stand up against those who work to take away our Constitutional freedoms. Banquet attendees will get the inside scoop from Senator Coburn concerning current gun rights issues in Congress, and what gun owners can expect in the coming months from the Obama Administration and the anti-gun congressional leadership. Other speakers include: GOA's Executive Director Larry Pratt and Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Gary Jones. The evening will also feature a four course meal and the opportunity to win one or more of a variety of auction and raffle items (auction curtesy of Dulaney and Co.) - including firearms, free range time, a Life Membership to Gun Owners of America and other exciting prizes. Come show your support for a U.S. Senator who is championing our Second Amendment rights. Your presence at this Banquet will send a message to Senator Coburn that his efforts are appreciated and that Oklahoma gun owners are proud and standing behind him in future battles. Seating is limited, so act now! Cost: $45.00 per person RSVP Today to ensure a seat! To RSVP online click here You can also RSVP by phone by calling (703) 321-8585

Ask Yourself “What have I done for my party lately?”

Ask Yourself! 7/24/2009

Ask Yourself “What have I done for my party lately?” A Few Facts that you might consider: ·There are 800,000 registered Republicans in the State Of Oklahoma. ·Less than 2/3 of 1% of registered Republicans have made a donation to the Oklahoma Republican Party in the last 6 years. ·In addition, less than 2% of Oklahoma Republicans have volunteered to help in a political campaign to elect a Republican candidate to public office in the last 6 years. Now taking that into consideration, during that same time frame, Oklahoma Republicans have elected 13 additional members to the House of Representatives and 6 additional members to the Senate to gain majority for the first time in Oklahoma history. And we must not forget we were the only state in the nation where all counties voted for the Republican Presidential Candidate in both 2004 and 2008. We have accomplished all this while Democrats are sending millions of out of state dollars into Oklahoma. Make no mistake, we will see additional millions of those dollars coming here in 2010 as they try to beat Senator Tom Coburn and prevent us from electing our next Governor. Unlike the Democrats, we do not receive any additional funds other than those you so kindly give. We depend on you. We need your help! As the saying goes “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Well, Oklahoma Republicans, It’s time to do something! Make a contribution today. Our goal is to get the top 1% of registered Republicans to contribute to the OKGOP an average of $100 this year and next. Set yourself apart; be in the TOP 1% today. Please make checks payable to: Oklahoma Republican Party 4031 N. Lincoln Boulevard Oklahoma City, OK 73105

Huckabee uses part of state visit to raise money for GOP candidates

Posted by Michael McNutt

on July 13, 2009 at 7:34 am

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, showing up at Oklahoma Christian University in borrowed cowboy boots, used part of his visit Sunday to the Sooner State to raise money for Republican state and congressional candidates.
Huckabee, leadoff speaker for the I Debate camp taking place this week at Oklahoma Christian, left a couple hours later for a fundraiser for his political action committee, HuckPAC, at the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark. Hosts included U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, former Gov. Frank Keating, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett and former state Sen. Scott Pruitt, who is a managing partner of the Oklahoma City RedHawks.
Huckabee, who has daily radio commentaries on the ABC radio network and a weekend show on the Fox cable network, has not announced his 2012 political plans.
His political action committee raises money for volunteers and activities in state races this year and in 2010. He expects the committee to provide assistance in Oklahoma’s 2010 gubernatorial race.
“Our PAC is a little different; rather than just kind of become a money stop, our primary focus is to activate volunteers,” he said in an interview before speaking to the high school students at Oklahoma Christian. “We’re helping to recruit candidates, help train them, supply volunteers to their campaign.
“The goal is to get people activated in their local communities and states to operate everything from phone banks to knocking on doors,” said Huckabee, who finished second in the 2008 Republican presidential primary in Oklahoma and is a frontrunner in the 2012 GOP presidential sweepstakes.
Huckabee said he learned during his presidential campaign is critically important, but volunteers and grass-roots efforts “are amazingly valuable.”
Support for GOP candidates usually is provided after the primaries are over, he said.
Huckabee arrived in Oklahoma from New York, where he hosts his cable TV show, but his checked-in luggage was sent on to Minneapolis. He had dressed casually for his flight, wearing jeans and running shoes.
Among the items in the missing luggage was his pair of dress shoes. His daughter’s boyfriend, he said, lent him his pair of tan cowboy boots to wear to Oklahoma Christian. Minutes before he was scheduled to speak to the students, his luggage was delivered on campus and he slipped on his black dress shoes.

Huckabee in Oklahoma City for Redhawks Baseball Game

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend with family and friends celebrating the Fourth of July and the sacrifices made by great American men and women to secure and protect our freedom. When our kids were young, Janet and I would make the drive down to Dallas for a Rangers game, and the afternoons we spent together at the ballpark as a family are some of my favorite memories. This Sunday, July 12, I will be speaking in Oklahoma City for a great Huck PAC event in conjunction with the RedHawks baseball game, and I am excited to offer your family this unique opportunity to make a special summer memory and support a great cause at the same time. There are few things more American than a baseball game in the summertime, but there is nothing American regarding the out of control spending and government interference coming from Washington D.C. In these tough economic times, attending this Huck PAC event is a great way to support candidates around the country and have a memorable afternoon of celebrating one of the great American pastimes. A ticket package for four people starts at $100, so I hope you’ll get three family members or friends together and join us for an afternoon of fun that benefits conservative candidates and ideas.

“Dear Mr. Burns: A Letter for Life” by Brian S.

June 25th, 2009 posted by David Schmidt

June 25, 2009

Dear Mr. Burns,

I listened with great interest to your show tonight between 9:00 and 10:00 pm on the topic of selective reduction. If only I had been able to call in and offer my two cents.

If you find that my opinion offered here merits consideration, then please share it with your audience at your next opportunity.

My wife and I brought children into this world with the assistance of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Before doing so, we looked deeply into the issues attached to IVF, established our boundaries, the proceeded deliberately. Today we have four beautiful children: three girls and one boy.

The cardinal principle from which we operated is a moral one: every embryo created should be given the best possible chance at continuing its natural life cycle, i.e. being implanted, brought to term, and delivered to realize its potential. Since we believe that one should not create persons with intention to destroy them (as in selective reduction), we precluded this concern by fertilizing eggs conservatively, and only two embryos at a time were implanted in their mother’s womb. None were “reduced,” thrown away, or otherwise destroyed. When one rolls the dice conservatively, one risks getting nothing for the $16,000 they paid for an IVF cycle. There is a cost to living within boundaries, but, more often than not, a higher cost to living without them.

I must interject here regarding the term “created.” Actually, neither we nor science created anything. Simplified, IVF is just a facilitation of the meeting of the natural ingredients after which the resulting new lives are placed in their natural environment until transition to the next stage of their life cycle. For science truly to create an embryo, scientists would construct the organelles and other sub-cellular structures from scratch, then assemble them into a complete respirating and functioning embryo. Perhaps it is more correct to say that science “facilitates” what usually happens naturally.

The point I kept hearing you make more than any other during the hour on this topic was this: if we’re okay with employing science to “create” life, then shouldn’t we also be okay with employing science to extinguish that same life? (I hope I repeated your thought accurately enough.)

To test your assertion, let me then offer a scenario and a question. Suppose a woman brings sextuplets to term whose genesis had been facilitated by IVF. That is, without the intervention of science, those six children would not exist. Two years go by, and the woman realizes that she has not the means to care for all six of the children, to provide adequate nourishment and otherwise any foreseeable “quality of life” for all of them. Since science helped to bring these children into the world, would you then argue that the woman should be offered a legally-protected prerogative to employ science toward the termination of the lives of any of her toddlers? Why not? …because a toddler is a person, but the unborn is…..is what?

What is the unborn?

Is the unborn a person?

This then is the crux of the controversial life issues, of the debate over selective reduction, of the debate over abortion.

Given any scenario, given any quandary, if you wouldn’t advocate taking the life of a toddler, then why would you advocate taking the life of the unborn?

It always comes down to this one question: Is the unborn a person?

We agree that at some point along the life cycle of a human, that human becomes a person. Is it at the very beginning? Is it at the end of the first trimester? Is it at birth? Is it, as Peter Singer asserts, when a human becomes aware of her desire to survive (between two and three years old)?

It seems to me that the onus is on the advocate of selective reduction (or abortion) to discover honestly when a human becomes person, and then not to breach a zone of moral safety within which that threshold exists. Otherwise, he becomes guilty of, or at least complicit in, the taking of lives of innocent persons.

Regarding selective reduction, discussion of whether personhood is achieved at conception isn’t really necessary because that’s not when selective reduction is performed. No, selective reduction is often performed at twelve weeks gestation, and is almost always performed between ten and twelve weeks gestation. At this stage, the little person has fingers and toes, and its heart has been pumping since the seventeenth day after conception. Take a look at any human embryology text; what I’m saying is true.

Yes, I said “person.”

Neither size, level of development, environment, nor degree of dependency eliminates or precludes personhood.

My daughters are not non-persons because they are smaller than me.

My son is not a non-person by virtue of being less developed than me.

There is nowhere I can go where I become a non-person by virtue of being in that place.

Dependency upon an insulin pump does not cause one to be a non-person. My young children are dependent upon me or another adult for their survival (remove their caretaker, and see whether they last more than a week), but I doubt you would argue that they are non-persons.

Therefore, I hold that the unborn is a person and that every embryo created should be given the best possible chance at continuing its natural life cycle. Certainly, no human life should be created if the intention from the outset is to destroy it.

Sincerely,

Brian S.
Sacramento

PS – I hope that you, an agnostic, will appreciate that I had no need to invoke religion to make the case for the personhood of the unborn. As our Declaration says: These truths are self-evident…

Marco Rubio For Senate

Editor: Also, see: Marco Rubio Making Strong Steady Gains on Charlie Crist for Florida Senate and Huckabee's Radio Interview of Rubio on WLS, Chicago, March 12th, 2010.

Marco Rubio For Senate When someone stands on principles throughout their career in politics, its an easy choice to endorse their candidacy for Senate. Today, I am excited to formally announce my endorsement of Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate. Marco believes in smaller government. He is a firm supporter of life. As the former Florida Speaker he was incredibly effective at bringing new ideas to the table and working to see them passed into law. He is a family man, loyal, compassionate and someone I am proud to call a friend. I encourage you to watch my video endorsement on my blog here and then share it with friends, family and co-workers by email, Twitter and on Facebook. After you do, please consider making an immediate contribution to Marco's campaign for Senate at http://www.marcorubio.com/. Last night, his opponent was raising money in Washington, DC. I am told he may have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. Today, I am hoping that Marco will receive the financial support of tens of thousands of Americans; the sort who make one political contribution a year, to the candidate they believe in with their hearts not just their heads. Because I firmly believe it is these contributions that will make the difference in this race, not the money raised from lobbyists who make a new political contribution each week, betting the "smart money." So please watch my endorsement video today and then consider making a contribution directly to Marco's campaign for Senate. Standing with Marco, Mike Huckabee
