Early bills include one requiring voters to prove their identities at the polls and a bill proponents say would protect students who express religious views in school work.
The religious expression bill, House Bill 1001, filed by Reps. Mike Reynolds and Sally Kern, both Oklahoma City Republicans, is basically the same as the measure that won approval this year in the Senate and House before being vetoed [by the Governor]...

Proud to be an Okie…
"Well, folks, the national election didn’t turn out the way I was hoping last night. The far left now has control of the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government, and are within a heartbeat of controling the judicial branch as well.
But I’m very proud of my fellow Oklahomans. I’d especially like to congratulate John McCain and Sarah Palin (who won in Oklahoma, at least!), Jim Inhofe, John Sullivan, Jeff Cloud, Dana Murphy, Frank Lucas, Tom Cole, Mary Fallin, John Trebilcock, Dan Newberry, Jim Reynolds, Randy Terrill, and Sally Kern." |
