Today's Oklahoma Petition Alert (May 21, 2010):

SUBJECT: Urge AWOL & Turncoat legislators to override open carry veto!

You're receiving this email because you support the Petition for Open
Carry in Oklahoma at http://www.petitiononline.com/oc4ok/petition.html.

House Representative Rex Duncan has stated that he may make another
attempt to override the Governor's veto of HB3354, see
http://newsok.com/article/3462793.

Here's the deal - the open carry bill passed by veto proof majorities in
both houses. But after Governor Brad "Veto Happy" Henry vetoed the
bill, 15 representatives changed their vote or refused to vote at all for the
bill!

It's one thing for a legislator to stand up and vote anti-gun - that's
at least honest. But its a whole 'nother thing to play games and tricks with the people's right to arms - to hide your vote, duck your vote, and otherwise shirk
their duty to take a stand and cast a recorded vote.

Adding insult to injury, incredibly, Representative *Glenn Bud
Smithson*(D-Sallisaw) called open carry supporters COWARDS, see
http://newsok.com/open-carry-weapon-bill-draws-house-approval/article/3459027?custom_click=lead_story_title,
but then turned around and REFUSED to even stand up and cast a vote on
the veto override matter!

Voting record and contact information can be found at
http://www.ok.gov]

The good news is we only need 3 more votes to save the open carry bill.
However, time is short!

*Action Item #1*: If YOUR personal representative is on the TURNCOAT or
AWOL lists, contact them - email, phone, and in person if you can - go
to their office and **POLITELY** request to see him on this matter and urge
him to vote correctly and let Oklahoma join the 43 other States that enjoy
Open Carry in accordance with the Founders' intent! Bring your friends and
family - make it a freedom delegation!

*Action Item #2: Email the entire list of TURNCOATs and AWOLs!*

Make their Blackberries' inbox crack like machine gun fire!

SUBJECT: Urge your legislators to override the open carry bill veto!

Dear Representative:

I am highly distressed that you either (1) changed your vote on the open
carry bill, or (2) refused to vote at all, when the time came to override
the veto.

Another veto override vote will take place soon.

Take a stand! There is no reason why Oklahomans cannot be trusted to
become residents of the 44th open carry state.

This bill is very important to me and many Oklahoma gun owners.

We will remember what you do.

Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
YOUR ADDRESS
