Dear Legislator,

Despite clear benefits of repeal, it appears that many of you are being encouraged to kick the can further down the road and leave Oklahomans subject to an income tax while others in the region eliminate theirs. Last night’s compromise, seemingly a step in the right direction, did not provide a path for complete elimination of the income tax. However, there is hope that this legislature will be bold and consider gradually reducing the state income tax through the establishment of a tax trigger mechanism if necessary. That is, if you ignore special interests groups clamoring for a high income tax against the interest of Oklahoma’s families (reference “Open Letter to State Legislature concerning Income Tax Triggers” dated May 8th, 2012).

AFP's "Wasteful Spending" ad holds President Obama accountable for sending billions of taxpayer dollars to "green energy" companies overseas, even while Americans suffer with rising energy prices and a lack of jobs.

At the end of March, a Tulsa district judge struck down a law allowing state funds to be used for private-school tuition for special-needs students, ruling it violates the Oklahoma Constitution (read more from the Tulsa World here). It was a travesty of justice!
