1. OCPAC Oct. 4: Dana Murphy for Lt. Governor
2. In, But Not In…the House

1. OCPAC Oct. 4: This Wednesday at noon at Mama Roja, we will hear from Dana Murphy about her run for Lt. Governor of Oklahoma.
2. In, But Not In…the House. The governor called a special session of the Legislature to begin on Sept 25. However, on September 27, the Speaker of the House announced that the House would recess until such a time as budget negotiations produced something on which they could vote. This is good news. It means that many legislators, both Republican and Democrat, are unwilling to vote for tax increases in general, and a cigarette tax specifically. In a worst case scenario, gridlock would continue and nothing would be done. Agencies would simply have to operate with available cash. This has happened in the past, and the Oklahoma world did not come to end.
We applaud and encourage those legislators who are not willing to raise taxes. Stand your ground! With more than a dozen other recognized conservative leaders in the state, OCPAC has cosigned an open letter to the governor and legislators admonishing them to protect taxpayers from being gouged.

OCPAC Oct. 11: Old Earth Creation, by Richard Hovis. Old Earth Creation is the theory that the universe is quite ancient and that God directed processes over long periods of time to prepare the universe and earth for the human experience of the last ten thousand years. Although this theory has both biblical and scientific support, it gets the least attention. Our program on Oct. 11 will be an overview of Old Earth Creation.
Young Earth Creation is the theory that God created the universe and mankind in six literal days, i.e. twenty-four hour days, and the earth is around six to ten thousand years old. We hear a lot about this theory from major evangelical groups.
Government schools teach the atheistic theory of total Darwinian evolution, but do not teach other competing theories. There is no reason, legal or otherwise, that schools should not teach all the major theories of origins. In fact, decisions such as these should be left to local school boards, not bureaucrats at the state or federal level.
OCPAC Oct. 25: Center for Cultural Leadership on Crusading Christianity. Andrew Sandlin will make the point that if Christians are not crusading for truth in both church and culture, then they are not acting as true Christians.
OCPAC Nov. 8: Christian Heritage Academy Headmaster Josh Bullard will explain how you can direct some of your tax dollars, which you will pay anyway, to provide school choice.
