Thank you for your well researched review.

Early in the last campaign cycle, I asked Sen. Lankford (who I have long supported) at a public meeting if he had learned that compromise with those who work daily for your total destruction is a bad idea? He spent a lot of time saying nothing in answer. It is sad and very frustrating to see Biden's DemoRats drag us into WW III while they destroy our energy industry, impoverish our people, and allow invasion of our borders. The invaders do not remain at the border - they are in OKC, Tulsa, Durant, Hugo, Boise City and every city, town, and village in the nation - estimated now near 5 million or more than the total population of Oklahoma. We need two border walls: 1.) At the US border and 2.) Some hundred miles south of our border to establish a buffer and Cartel free zone enforced by the US Military.

Lankford lost my support when he led the way to certify the fraudulent presidential steal by Biden. I watched as fellow Oklahomans apparently forgot his betrayal on that issue as well as other items and re-elected him in 2022. It is so disheartening to watch the lies and deception by fake conservatives lead us to destruction. I am pessimistic about any real reversal in the trend, but I am grateful to see a voice of truth in investigating the betrayal. Thank you so much.

This publication appreciates your support and encouraging words. Indeed, Lankford lost either his spine or his integrity when we needed him most. And thinking Americans are just waiting for James O'Keefe's recent revelations about ActBlue's donation multiplication scheme to link straight back to FTX and taxpayer funds to Ukraine. (https://v1sut.substack.com/p/lankford-ftx-and-ukraine-who-knew). We doubt Lankford will be writing letters to constituents about that.

It's been a 180° transformation from the James Lankford that campaigned for that CD5 seat in 2010 - portraying as a conservative voice of the people. That voice has either been quashed or bribed out of existence. So many ideas on how to curb this leftish-idealization of good-intentioned candidates who run their first and (if we're lucky) second campaign really wanting to do the right thing, then eventually succumb to the temptations of the "upper echelon" of DC, made up of the "right clubs" to belong to, the "right people" to be seen with, the "proper publications" to be seen in, and before you know it, they are a complete convert to the left, with their campaigns being financed by out-of-state funds who have no care or even intention of doing anything that's good for the electorate that voted the candidate in to begin with.

It's the turning of these candidates that we send to DC that is so bothersome. I have no doubt that when they first run, they have their constituents best interest at heart, but after the heady atmosphere of DC for a term or two, they're completely swept up in the power and pomp of it all, and actually think they are above the rest of the world, and don't really have to respond to their constituents, much less actually ask them for their votes.

Solutions like candidates from Oklahoma can only be funded by Oklahomans, or even a limit on the amount of money spent, might solve the problem; maybe voter ID, maybe opening up the election process for examination. Our Oklahoma senators, don't seem to be interested in their constituents anymore and frankly don't think they have to listen to us. Send out a Pablum letter-du-jour, and that will appease those "little people" from back home, who don't know what's good for them. This has been a huge on-going problem with Lankford and I'm sure that Mullin won't be far behind, ignoring the home front and concentrating more on how to appease the East Coast left. It really leads one to believe that the Republican majority in Oklahoma is horribly corrupt with their super majority. And if conservatives don't deal with that corruption, it will implode the conservative party, and the Democrats will have an open invitation to walk right in. The pendulum of time swings both ways. The mid-20th-century dominance of Democratic majorities that were rife with corruption and greed, are now endemic of the current Oklahoma Republican leadership.

Well said. Throwing voters a bone on 2A from time to time then sending billions of our dollars straight to corruption and murder is not a sustainable model for constituent support. DC corrupts perfectly. Voters must rise, run and replace.
