Hello Kay County Republicans!
The midterm election is upon us! Election day is Tuesday, and early voting has already started at the Kay County Election Board in Newkirk for those unable to vote on election day. I would recommend looking over a sample ballot in advance since there are a bunch of races. You can review your sample ballot at: https://okvoterportal.okelections.gov/ There will be a number of judges up for retention (and your choice for district judge) as well as two State questions. While you are in the voter portal, you can confirm your precinct voting location, since a couple have been moved in the last year.
Two hundred and fifty years ago our founders pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for the support of our Declaration of Independence. In that statement, they said “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,..” We still hold to this. These inspiring words show the basis, purpose and legitimate source of power of our government. We were given a very special form of government that was based on biblical principles and designed to protect our liberty. Voting is one way that we can give or withhold our consent, and also a very significant way for us to direct our government back towards or away from our founding principles. Sadly, there are many who will abuse our freedoms to take power and ruin this republic. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but the socialists, communists and democrat party hate America and are trying to destroy her and her Christian basis – what makes her special. Many of the founders gave their lives and fortunes, the least we can do is to go and vote for the best candidates. Not voting is to give up and surrender our Republic to whoever will show up!

On the District Judge election (not covered by most of the statewide voter guides,) I will personally be voting for Scott Loftis. I did have a chance to speak with Rob Davis for a while at the fair, and my impression is that he is more concerned with what other courts might say and working with the prosecution than upholding the rights of the citizens. We talked about the 4th Amendment and unwarranted surveillance and he was not nearly as strong as what I would have liked to hear. He was also unfamiliar with the SilencerCo v. ATF case that has resulted in suppressors no longer requiring extensive federal permissions and paperwork – a big deal if you are interested in 2A and firearms issues. Loftis, on the other hand, seems to have a more constitutional rights perspective and has done some work for the OKGOP.
This is an important election, so be sure to get out and vote and get your likeminded friends to vote with you! If you will be unable vote on the day of the election, early voting will be available at the county election board until 2pm on Saturday. Also, remind your out-of-state friends to vote for Republicans in their elections, too. We have a republic… if we can keep it.
If you have any problems voting, let us know. Or, if you witness anything that looks like fraud, stay on location and report it to us, the County Sheriff, and at https://protectthevote.com/report-fraud/oklahoma
Next Saturday, we will have a float in the Ponca City Veteran’s Day Parade and a booth in the park afterwards. If you would be able to ride the float or help out with the booth, please let us know. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
We are at the end of our main yearly fundraiser. This year we will have a drawing for the winner’s choice of either: an outfitted Ruger American Gen 2 Bolt action rifle in 6mm ARC, or a Marlin 1894 Lever Action in .357 Mag. We are capping the number of tickets at 250 with an additional 50 for the day of the Ponca City Veteran’s Day Parade. We will take a $10 donation for one ticket, $25 for three tickets, or the best deal of fifteen tickets for a $100 donation. As always, we will draw the winner at the park following the Ponca City Veteran’s Day Parade. If you want tickets, we will have a few at the park prior to the drawing, or feel free to contact us if you won’t be there.
Vote Tuesday, to hold the line and advance FREEDOM from the top to the end of the ballot!
Nathan Voelkers, Vice Chairman
