Oklahoma’s 1907 constitution provided that Black and white children must attend separate (racially segregated) school facilities, a situation that endured unchanged for half a century. “Separate,” however, did not necessarily mean “equal” in the quality of education provided.

For over fifty years, it has been my privilege to personally know every president of the United States of America Six of them have been Republicans, four of them have been Democrats I am regis tered to vote as an independent and I write this as a private citizen who is concerned about the direction of our country Being an independent does not mean that I don t have strong convictions about the critic al issues facing out nation and world For me, it means that I don’t blindly vote for any party or person Following the example of those who signed our founding Declaration of Independence, I support candidates and positions consistent with the purpose of our Creator, by whom we “are endowed with certain unalien able Rights,” including “L ife, I iberty and the pursuit of Happiness ” I don’t know of a time in my life when these rights have been in greater jeopardy than they are in this elec tion Not only the rhetoric but more importantly, the track records of those campaigning for our votes c ould not offer a starker contrast for our future Headlines in the mainstream media declare that the current national Democratic ticket is the most radi c ally progressive in our history In my estimation, however, it represents nothing other than anti God social ism that will fleece American citizens of even more of our hard won free doms and hard-earned dollars And most Democratic candidates in state and local races are supporting the same positions Republican positions at the national, state and local levels while not perfect reflect a greater commit rnent to those founding ideals of life and liberty They defend religious freedom including for followers of the l o r d lesus Christ, protect the unborn; support our military and law enforcement, stand by the nation of Israel without hedging or wavering, guard our borders and national sec u rity, favor a conservative judiciary, and promote fiscal responsibility
