Dislikes

Awake Oklahoma Awaiting review of version 7

This bill is simply Senator Gollihare's attack against citizens, concerned about his ongoing support of abortion per his voting record, who attempted to talk with his pastor. How dare he use his position as a senator to retaliate against the free speech of concerned citizens. This bill isn't what it appears to be at all. Shame on you Gollihare. This should not even make it to the Floor. .

Defending Freedom

This could be used to protect any religion, including Islamism. We already have religious freedom protections. We should not muddy the waters with additional legislation, we need to have our courts and law enforcement uphold the already established rule of law.

Save Oklahoma Farms And Ranches Awaiting review of version 7

Absolutely unconstitutionall bill, obstructing freedom of speech. So, with this bill I can't give a leaflet or have a conversation about Christianity to a muslim outside a mosque??? This bill either demonstrates a complete lack of respect for freedom of speech, or shows us who doesn't understand, value, or uphold the constitution.
