Thursday Oct 1 Tulsa Action Forum. Learn How to Participate in the Legislative Process

REMINDER: Action Forum – Training Session Oct. 1, 2009

The next OK-SAFE Action Forum will be Thursday, October 1st, 2009.

Oklahomans are aware of the growth of big government and have been stirred to action.  They’ve rallied together and protested to make their voices heard in the public square. Some folks are ready to move on to the next step, [getting involved in the OK legislative process], but  may be asking themselves, ”How do I do that?”

The next OK-SAFE Action Forum will be something all Oklahoma grassroots activists can use – a no-spin training session on “Citizen Involvement in the Legislative Process”, focusing on the Oklahoma Legislature.

Topics will include:

• Civic responsibility
• Introduction to the Oklahoma Legislature website
• How a bill is introduced
• The course of a bill in the legislative process
• Bill tracking
• How to lobby

The bad policies of the federal government are implemented at the state level - the states can fight back, IF enough citizens understand the legislative process and get involved.

Our rights have been given to us by God, not man, but ”man” is working feverishly to remove those rights.

The Oklahoma Capitol belongs to the people; who typically lobbies the OK legislature, however, are multinational corporations and big government special interest groups.

This needs to change.  The people must take back their civic responsibility and become involved in the legislative process.

Make plans today to attend this training meeting.

Date: Thursday, Oct. 1, 2009

Time: 6:45 pm to 8:15 pm

Location: Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 E. 93rd St., Tulsa, OK (93rd & S. Memorial)

OK Interim Studies

Both the Oklahoma House and Senate have posted the approved lists of interim studies.

Between legislative sessions, during the summer and fall, interim studies take place, to study issues or policies.  These studies often result in legislation being introduced the next session or later.

Individuals and groups can sign up to be notified of the meeting dates and times of an interim study by contacting the committee chair or the legislator proposing the study.
