NOON to 1:15 PM | | Last week, we had an amazing look into the lives and service of two men for whom there is no "color barrier."
We have a legislature poised to continue to fight the Marxist push in Oklahoma's classrooms and universities who call our children oppressors or victims based on the color of their skin and to foster hate between American children.
The example of transforming Oklahoma has been established by Governor Keating and Russell Perry for the Oklahoma Legislature to follow. Legislative leaders like Wednesday's OCPAC speaker, Senator David Bullard, are working diligently to eradicate leftist (Democrat) hate.
David will be our main speaker and will tell us of the work being planned for the upcoming legislative session regarding the indoctrination of Oklahoma students into forms of racial hatred and sexual perversion. Indoctrination is taking place in classrooms all over the state from Kindergarten through higher education.
He will also reveal plans to finally address vaccine mandates for which we have all been waiting. More good news comes with upcoming legislation to deal with the abomination of abortion in Oklahoma.
Come and get ready for the role you can play in helping our conservative legislative leaders get these bills passed. ________________ | | JENNI WHITE CLEANING UP THE OKLAHOMA CLASSROOM | | Jenni White has a passion to see the Oklahoma classroom returned to the authority of the parent, to restore academic achievement, and to remove the sexual and racial focus of the NEA/OEA.

This Wednesday, she will expose the state of the Oklahoma classroom and provide ideas for effective remediation. | | SEE YOU AT THE WEDNESDAY LUNCHEON! | | MEETING LOCATION

Snapshots of the war fought by our Christian forefathers against pro-slavery Democrats | UNCLE TOM'S CABIN Harriet Beecher Stowe | In 1851, ten years before war broke out between the north and the south, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The book gained international fame and greatly stirred up support for the abolitionist movement.
It became the second best-selling book of the 19th century.
It sold 10,000 copies in America the first week it was published, and 300,000 the first year. In England, it sold over 1.5 million copies.
As you may have already surmised, the Bible retained its position as the best-selling book. | A year after the American Civil War began, President Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was on December 2, 1862.
According to The Atlantic Monthly’s Annie Fields, when Lincoln was introduced to Stowe, he seized her hand saying, “Is this the little woman who made the great war?”
Harriett Beecher Stowe's book ends by saying:
A day of grace is yet held out to us.
Both North and South have been guilty before God; and the Christian church has a heavy account to answer.
Not by combining together, to protect injustice and cruelty, and making a common capital of sin, is this Union to be saved, but by repentance, justice and mercy. | A statue in Hartford, Connecticut, commemorates the meeting of Lincoln and Stowe. | In his book, Color, Communism and Common Sense (1958), Manning Johnson wrote:
In their usual diabolically clever way, the reds took the name of a fine, sincere and beloved character made famous in the greatest indictment of chattel slavery (Uncle Tom's Cabin) and transformed him into a “dirty, low, sneaky, treacherous, groveling, snivering coward.”
This the reds did in order to make the name “Uncle Tom” the symbol of social, economic and political leprosy ... turning many ministers into moral cowards, many politicians into scared jackrabbits ... No man dare stand up and proclaim convictions counter to red agitation without running the certain risk of being pilloried." ___________ | REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER Second only to Lincoln in Shaping America | Harriet Beecher Stowe’s brother was the renowned Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, one of the most popular preachers in American in the middle 1800s.
Thousands attended Beecher's enormous Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, New York, including Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman and Mark Twain.
In 1863, Beecher visited England and Scotland.
He lectured about the American Civil War, which helped erode British support for the Confederate South. | The British novelist, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, mentioned this in his Sherlock Holmes mystery "The Cardboard Box," 1893:
"The unframed portrait of Henry Ward Beecher stands upon the top of your books ... Bringing to mind the incidents of Beecher's career and the mission he undertook on behalf of the North at the time of the Civil War." | From 1854 to 1858, Henry Ward Beecher and his church bought hundreds of the new Sharps Rifles and shipped them to anti-slavery Free Soil supporters and abolitionist Republicans in Kansas.
These rifles had new 1850 patented innovations of breech-loading and self-priming, which offered quick loading, speed in firing, and accuracy in distance. | On February 8, 1856, the New York Tribune recognized their effectiveness as a weapon to fight pro-slavery Democrats. The Tribune printed that Henry Ward Beecher:
... believed that the Sharps Rifle was a truly moral agency, and that there was more moral power in one of those instruments, so far as the slaveholders of Kansas were concerned, than in a hundred Bibles ...
... You might just as well ... read the Bible to Buffaloes as to those fellows who follow Atchison and Stringfellow; but they have a supreme respect for the logic that is embodied in Sharp's rifle.
The Sharps Rifle soon became known as a "Beecher's Bible."
As Federal and State authorities forbade shipping arms to the region, rifles were packed in wooden crates marked as "Books."
When pro-slavery Democrats intercepted a case and took the guns, Beecher began to personally pass out rifles to abolitionist settlers who were headed to Kansas.
In 1855, seventy settlers founded a town in northeast Kansas named Wabaunsee, also called New Haven or the "Beecher Rifle Colony."
It became a stop of the Underground Railway for escaped slaves.
Their church still exists -- the Beecher Bible and Rifle Church. | Immensely popular, Beecher was viewed as second only to Lincoln in shaping post-war America's public opinion.
Gutzon Borglum, creator of Mount Rushmore, sculpted a statue of him. __________________ | Harriet Beecher Stowe and Rev. Henry Ward Beecher were the children of the famous New England minister Lyman Beecher and drew their anti-slavery convictions from him.
In 1833, Lyman debated for 18 days in a row at Lane Theological Seminary in favor of ending slavery.
Pro-slavery Democrats from Kentucky threatened to burn the campus down.
In his Plea for the West, 1835, Lyman Beecher wrote:
If this nation is, in the providence of God, destined to lead the way in the moral and political emancipation of the world, it is time she understood her high calling, and were harnessed for the work. | In The Spirit of the Pilgrims, 1831, Lyman Beecher wrote:
The Government of God is the only government which will hold society against depravity within and temptation without.
Lyman Beecher was quoted in McGuffey's Eclectic Sixth Reader, 1907:
While most nations trace their origin to barbarians, the foundations of our nation were laid by civilized men, by Christians. | In the same spirit of the 2020 Black Lives Matter, Democrats threaten to burn down Lane Theological Seminary in protest over the anti-slavery message of Christian minister, Lyman Beecher. _________________ | KANSAS Pro-Slavery Democrats Anti-Slavery Republicans | Two different Kansas state legislatures were organized:
A Pro-slavery (Democrat) government met in Pawnee
An Anti-slavery (Republican) government met in Topeka.
The anti-slavery "Free-Staters" accused the pro-slavery Democrats of holding a Bogus Legislature. | On May 19, 1856, Republican Senator Charles Sumner condemned the Democrats bringing slavery into Kansas:
Not in any common lust for power did this uncommon tragedy have its origin … compelling it to the hateful embrace of slavery … a depraved desire for a new Slave State, a hideous crime.
Sumner denounced Democrats and their desire to hold slaves on the House floor during his "Crimes Against Kansas" speech. In the speech, Sumner criticized South Carolina’s Democrat Senator, Andrew Butler, for his pro-slavery agenda. | Two days later, Democrat Congressman Preston Brooks beat Senator Sumner nearly to death on the floor of the Senate with a heavy cane.
After nearly killing Sumner, Brooks was praised by Southern Democrats for the attack. Many pro-slavery newspapers concluded that abolitionists in Kansas and beyond "must be lashed into submission." After the attack, hundreds of Southern Democrat lawmakers sent Brooks new canes to indicate their endorsement of the attack. Inscribed on one of the canes was the phrase, "hit him again." | In the coming weeks, many pro-slavery Democrats wore necklaces made from broken pieces of the cane as a symbol of solidarity with Preston Brooks.
Towns and counties renamed themselves to honor Brooks (Brooksville, Florida, Brooks County, Georgia, and others).
Two weeks after the attack, American philosopher and Harvard graduate Ralph Waldo Emerson condemned Brooks and the pro-slavery lawmakers, stating: "I do not see how a barbarous community and a civilized community can constitute one state. I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom." | This is a display of the same racial hatred that the Democrat Party today unleashed on America in 2020's Black Lives Matter riots. And, in 2022 continue to foist upon the children of America through their Marxist programs of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

ELECTION MESSAGE | I believe the mayor’s office is an important political office, not only Oklahoma City but also the entire state.
Our city generates close to 40% of our state’s economy and also serves as the host of our state’s capitol and its elected officials.
The mayor’s office has much greater influence over the operations of city government than any combination of city council members. The mayor works closely with the City Manager and also appoints members over numerous boards, commissions, and committees. | I believe Carol Hefner will demonstrate a concern for all segments of the City and its citizens. She will be a strong voice for fiscal conservatism in her fiduciary role of the public’s money in oversight of the City’s operations.
Further, I believe she will be very supportive of police officers and all first responders, knowing the risks they take on every day when they go to work. | Finally, I believe Mrs. Hefner will work on behalf of all citizens to increase employment opportunities. As a business woman, she is uniquely qualified to help industries that are important to our economy. Industries such as aerospace, energy, and manufacturing. In addition, I believe she will attract growing technologically-innovative businesses to our city.
Oklahoma City has the opportunity to return to the national stage as the shining star it was four years ago.
Under the current Mayor, Oklahoma City is experiencing increased crime and inadequate infrastructure maintenance.
I support Carol Hefner as the next Mayor of Oklahoma City! | ACTIVIST TRAINING
