Published Monday, September 29, 2025 | | SEND THIS NEWSLETTER TO A FRIEND HERE. | | | BREAKING NEWS THIS WEDNESDAY OCPAC FOUNDATION AT THE OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER
RYAN WALTERS MAKES INAUGURAL APPEARANCE AS CEO OF TEACHER FREEDOM ALLIANCE | | Ryan will speak briefly about his relationship with Charlie Kirk, TPUSA, and the opportunity before him to rid the nation's schools of the influence of the far left pro-LGBTQ teacher unions.
He will stay through the meeting after he speaks and be in the room afterward to answer questions.
CHIP KEATING WILL FILE TO ENTER THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE THIS WEDNESDAY | | Chip is the son of Governor Frank Keating and has contemplated long and hard about entering the race. He will be one of a number of candidates whose values we consider to be beneficial to building a society.
While we will endorse none of them, we want you to have the opportunity to meet those with a credible track record of Christian conservatism promoting the constitutional principles which affect the culture of our nation and our state.
Chip will speak briefly and be available after the meeting for you to ask questions.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER STATE TREASURER TODD RUSS | | Todd Russ is one of Oklahoma's finest to occupy the office to treasurer. His banking experience has made the office bullet-proof for the shenanigans lobbyists play to take advantage of men less prepared and experienced.
He understands not only banking but the political forces which impact investment policy and currency decisions.
He will bring us up to date on the state of Oklahoma's economic well-being.
TODD RUSS IS THE 2025 HERITAGE FOUNDATION COURAGE AWARD WINNER
“Todd Russ is proving what true courage in public office looks like. While so many financial—and especially elected—leaders hide behind excuses, Treasurer Russ is confronting woke capital head-on and reminding the country that fiduciary duty means protecting citizens and their families—not appeasing activists. By rejecting the poison of ESG and DEI, he’s showing that conservatives can and must steward public resources with integrity, neutrality, and fearlessness.”
~Dr. Kevin Roberts, President The Heritage Foundation
Read about the Heritage Award here. | | SINCE CHARLIE KIRK'S MEMORIAL SERVICE . . . | | Perhaps the most stunning event to follow the Kirk assassination has been the recruiting of Ryan Walters to head up the Teacher Freedom Alliance (TPA).
The TPA objective is to free teachers from the extreme leftist, anti-American, and anti-Christian rhetoric of the teacher unions.
A perfect fit for Ryan Walters.
Both of my parents were members of The National Teachers Association (NEA), but it has become the purveyor of filth and a corrupter of our youth. My parents would no longer have submitted membership dues to what has become the tool of evil.
The NEA now seeks to destroy our historic national values.
With alternative options for insurance, there is no longer a reason for any God-fearing teacher to be a member and to support this morally corrupt and God-defying organization. | | This will be Ryan's first event as the CEO of this national movement. _______________
The Chesapeake Event Center at the Oklahoma History Museum was packed on September 17 as we provided an equally packed group of speakers. For those of you not in attendance, we have video segments of each of the speakers at the bottom of this newsletter. It was an amazing memorial of our own for Charlie Kirk.
Dustin Rose, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was outstanding as was Dr. Everett Piper, Freedom 96.9's Lee Matthews, Oklahoma's TPUSA director, Mason Cottrell, and City Elder Founder, Jesse Rodgers. _______________
This past Sunday, Dr. Everett Piper wrote in the Washington Times that those who did not celebrate the Christ-honoring memorial of Charlie Kirk have some soul-searching to do. Read his comments below. | | DR. EVERETT PIPER Sunday, September 28, 2025
Those Criticizing Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Need to Check Their Souls | This past Sunday, the world watched as people gathered in Phoenix, Arizona, to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk. Anyone claiming to be a Christian and, yet, choosing to be critical or even to remain silent in the subsequent days should be ashamed. | | If you are among those “progressive believers” so clouded by your politics and TDS that you can’t join in celebrating perhaps one of the most consequential calls to Christ in world history, you need to check your soul.
Hundreds of Millions of people just heard the gospel. Untold numbers were called to give their lives to Jesus. Worship songs full of Scripture were sung by well over a hundred thousand people. Multitudes around the world heard one testimony after another of Christ’s atonement and resurrection. Speaker after speaker testified to the biblical promise that those who
Confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that God has raised him from the dead will be saved. | | If you’re criticizing rather than celebrating this, what is wrong with you?
Pastor Rob McCoy, just preached to the entire globe that Jesus is the “king of glory and the savior of the world;” that “there are none righteous no not one;” that “the wages of sin is death;” and that [Christ’s atoning sacrifice] upon the cross… “while sufficient for all, is only efficient for those who receive him as their savior” and God. | | Tucker Carlson echoed the words of John Newton by confessing:
It’s me! I am the one! I’m the one who needs to repent! | J.D. Vance spoke of the truth of Scripture and the unshakeable truth of the Gospel. | | Marco Rubio, proclaimed that even though all men and women are:
Created by the hands of the God of the universe
that:
Sin entered the world and separated us from our creator, but, God took on the form of a man and came down and lived among us; suffered like men; died like a man…, but then rose again.
So that all who confess their sins, can be saved and join with Him in the:
Great reunion in heaven. | | Pete Hegseth shared that “only Christ is king;’ that he is our only “Lord and savior;” that “our sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus.”
He went on to declare, “There is a God, and it is not us. We are all sinners saved only by grace [and] in need of the Gospel.”
He finished by calling everyone to “put Christ first at the center of your life” so that you too might hear at the end of days “well done, good and faithful servant.” | | Frank Turek made it clear that we don’t “end up in heaven because we sacrifice ourselves for our Savior but because our Savior sacrificed himself for us.”
He went on to say that “there are only two things” available to us in the afterlife.
We either “get justice, or we get grace,” and the only way to get grace is by repenting before the God who allowed Himself to be tortured and killed for our sins, and that if we “trust in Him, every one of us can be forgiven and be given His righteousness.” | | The beauty of marriage, family, and children was exalted.
Romans 13 was preached as the model of good government.
Spiritual warfare was declared against the forces of evil.
Promises to endure for the sake of Christ and his church were made, no matter the cost.
People were called to repentance.
The Bible was quoted over and over again.
Jesus was repeatedly declared Lord and God.
And Erika Kirk publicly forgave her husband's killer. | Hundreds of millions of people from Saudi Arabia to San Francisco, from Myanmar to Memphis, and from Portland, Oregon, to Washington, D.C., saw the stark contrast between those who riot in the streets versus those who bow before Christ. | | My goodness, the nations of the earth just heard that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life from the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Vice President of the United States!
If you can’t set your politics aside and simply say, “Amen! Thank you, God,” you need to check your soul.
It has been said that not to speak is to speak and that silence in the face of evil is evil itself. If you claim to be Christian and yet have remained silent these past few days because of your critical spirit, your silence screams, and it should terrify you.
If you didn’t join in thankfulness and praise, for what you saw at Charlie Kirk’s memorial you might want to stop acting like you’re better than everyone else and take Tucker Carlson’s words to heart and pray:
It is me, Lord. I’m the one who needs to repent. | | ________________
