OK-SAFE, Inc. Update to the OK-SAFE Action Alert that went out this morning – it now appears that the first meeting of the joint committee to examine the effects of healthcare reform/exchanges, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011 will be aired live and viewable online via the Oklahoma House of Representatives website.
The measures included a state party rule change to be proposed at next month's state convention requiring censure hearings for Republican officeholders who do not adhere to "core principles" that include the unconstitutionality of all gun regulations and the belief that life is the result of "an act between a man and a woman," and begins at the moment of fertilization. The proposed rule also would require elected Republicans to work for "drastic" reductions in taxes and mandatory fees. "This could be big," said delegate Molly McKay, who later in the convention was elected county vice chairman without opposition. "This could be the biggest thing since we repealed slavery."
