Published Monday, September 12, 2022 WE ARE MEETING This Wednesday at NOON Central Oklahoma Home Builders NO ENTRY FEE At OCPAC: COUNTERING THE NEA/OEA PROFESSIONAL OKLAHOMA EDUCATORS POE Ginger Tinney is the leader of POE. Her conservative, pro-America, God-honoring anti-woke professional teachers association is an alternative to the leftist NEA Surrogate, the OEA. At their current rate of growth, POE membership is on track to overtake OEA in 3-5years. This trajectory is evidenced by OEA’s relentless and vicious attacks on POE, exclusionary tactics against them and ad hominem attacks on Ginger and her family. You will learn about the vast differences between the teacher union (NEA/OEA) and the very pro-teacher, pro-student, pro-parent association which POE represents. Come Wednesday and meet Ginger Tinney and the POE team! _________ MORE OF THE STORY FIRED FOR NOT VIOLATING SB 658 JAMES TAYLOR One of OCPAC's favorites, "JT", was fired by the Oklahoma City School System for obeying the rules of SB 658. James and five other terminated teachers are now in court. And, other school quickly snatched up the extraordinary talent of Dr. James Taylor. Professional Oklahoma Educators attorneys are handling his case! He will motivate you to stand for godliness in the midst of a confused culture. His is a story of triumph. ____________ A note from OCPAC FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN WADE BURLESON Winston Churchill said: If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain. OCPAC Foundation exists to educate Oklahomans on the conservative Constitutional and Christian principles that make Western Civilization great. We've received our EIN and are ready to receive TAX-DEDUCTIBLE contributions to OCPAC Foundation. We wish to raise over $300,000 by December 31, 2022. This will cover our annual budget for 2023. Any contribution, no matter how small (or large) IS IMPORTANT! Help us make a difference in Oklahoma by funding OCPAC as we seek to educate the brains of all Oklahomans for a bright future for us all. Wade Burleson Chairman, OCPAC Foundation. P.S. All educational programs, including the WEDNESDAY OCPAC Foundation meetings are now free. Consider bringing a charitable contribution to OCPAC Foundation this week!

BOB LINN The Mission of the OCPAC Foundation When we announced the OCPAC Foundation last week, there may have been a bit of misunderstanding on the role A.J. Ferate is playing. A.J. Ferate is one of the attorneys we have an association with. He does not serve on any of our boards. A.J. Ferate is simply filing the federal and state paperwork required to establish OCPAC Foundation’s 501 (c) (3). A.J. became a bit of a national hero when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in his favor and praying coach Joe Kennedy was restored to full employment at Bremerton High School in the state of Washington. He has been extraordinarily accommodating in every way in helping to make this transition possible. OCPAC FOUNDATION is building on 23 years of advocacy for the application of constitutional principles in the marketplace of public affairs. The global enemies of freedom and family have enveloped the 21st century world in an unprecedented show of strength. The bedrock of Christendom forged the pathways of Western Civilization and brought the Puritans to the American shore. Our founders included many great intellectuals who crafted the American Declaration of Independence. The assault on Christianity is at the core of all that threatens the future of America and the welfare of mankind on the earth. In 2022, CPAC brought to our shores the Prime Minister of Hungary, Victor Orbán. The Prime Minister knows well the devastation wrought in Europe due to its rejection of Christianity as the prime pillar of society. In 2012, Orbán warned European leaders that “The European crisis has not come by chance but by the carelessness and neglect of their responsibilities by leaders who have questioned precisely those Christian roots.” Political philosopher and former president of the Italian Senate, Marcello Pera, said that “The apostacy of Christianity is exposing the entire West to the risk of a grave cultural and political crisis, and perhaps even to a collapse of civilization.” America’s cultural and economic collapse is a product of the moral and spiritual collapse which went before. Like Europe, we have abandoned our Christianity and excluded God from the public square. The sexual content of Oklahoma’s classrooms would have landed administrators and teachers in jail in our better days. The founders of the American Republic would have considered the National Education Association (NEA) and its Oklahoma affiliate, the OEA, criminal organizations for their advocacy of training children to engage in a wide variety of sexual experiments not even appropriate for the marriage bed. Our educational institutions from kindergarten to the university have been overtaken by the Marxist, anti-American and anti-Christian rhetoric designed to reduce the cultural foundations of our republic to rubble. Our business community is under the assault of a well-organized and rapidly growing movement to institute Communist China’s control strategy called Environmental Social Corporate governance called ESG. One international group I do business with is asking me to sign such an agreement. Something, of course, I will not do! A top priority of both the United Nations and the World Economic Forum at Davos! OCPAC FOUNDATION will bring America’s Christian legacy to bear on the Oklahoma cultural landscape. Our goal is to rejoin the long-enduring foundations of Christendom to government, education, and industry. Restoring our state and our nation requires relentless and ongoing strategic planning. Strategies must be focused not on participation in the culture war, but must bear the intent to win the war at all cost. The intent of the Foundation is to pursue victory. In his 1978 Harvard address, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn sought to diagnose the modern crisis and spoke of the hopeless state of mankind who has “lost its Christian heritage.” He concluded by stating that the world had reached a “major watershed in history.” When Solzhenitsyn delivered his Templeton Lecture, just five years later, he began with this statement: “More than a half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disaster that had befallen Russia: ‘Men have forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.’” The words of Thomas Paine to Americans in 1776: “THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: It is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” ~Thomas Paine December 23, 1776 Thomas Paine was a writer and his publication, Common Sense, played a major role in bringing public opinion to the point that the idea of declaring our independence was accepted. The threats which overcame China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, and a host of other nations are upon us today in America. We are out of time and can now spare no expense. For the future of all that is precious to life, we must act together to reclaim our nation beginning with Oklahoma. As ordinary men and women, we must ask God to work through us to accomplish the extraordinary knowing that the inhuman and ungodly ideals of Marxism are destined for the ash heap of history. We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations. Thank you for your activism. _________ I'll see you this Wednesday's luncheon! 11:00 AM Doors open 11:30 AM Lunch NOON to 1:15 PM Meeting Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association 420 East Britton Road, OKC, OK 73114 God bless!
