Big Momma Tells a Story

In my earlier post on this subject yesterday, I urged you to send emails and make calls to the General Government Committee before 10:30 AM Monday Morning.
Oklahoma Action Alert! Big Momma Gov. Wants ‘Local Control’ SB36
Please do send those emails and make those calls because no matter how you slice it, this bill does not pass muster.
Take for example, the fact that this bill is being sold to us as a “local control” bill. That sounds great! We are all for local control right?
Well, Big Momma Gov. knows that, baby! She knows how your little mind works and thats why Big Momma went and reframed this issue for you in a way that was sure to go down sweet.
Reframing is a nice word. Since there is no way that casting a FEDERAL INITIATIVE into state law equals LOCAL CONTROL, some might call it a LIE!
Here’s the bottom line;
SB36 is really a FEDERAL INITIATIVE marketed to you as “LOCAL CONTROL”!
Isn’t that neat? If your intelligence isn’t insulted, it should be.

Once again contact the General Government Committee before 10:30 AM and tell them that SB36
-Violates rights of property owners
-Violates consumers right to choose
AND
State standards already protect health of non smokers. (by requiring businesses to install what amounts to a BSL 3 area for smokers. These are expensive, negative pressure, separate ventilation system rooms for smoking patrons!)
AND
“Private property owners should be free to allow smoking or not.
Those who wish to smoke can patronize places that cater to smokers.
Those who don’t will have places that seek their business. That’s how
the free market works.” (Hat tip to Rob Abeira from Oklahomans for Individual Rights https://www.facebook.com/OKRights )
AND
SB36 is a FEDERAL INITIATIVE masqurading as LOCAL CONTROL!
Please contact the members of the General Government Committee by email and phone if you can and tell them NO on SB36!

You liberty people are such meanies. You don’t think a city ought to be able to control people. It’s bad enough you don’t want the federal government controlling people. What good is government if you can’t control people with it? Why have it? Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go finish knitting my new man bag. I found an absolutely adorable pattern!!
