Raw Story: Oklahoma official defends comic linking gays to Satan

Dan Boren's conservative voting record is blood-curdling.

Dan Boren: Famous Anti-Labor Incumbent

While he voted against the Employee Free Choice Act and supports the Columbia Free Trade Agreement, Congressman Dan Boren's voting record is far better than the rest of Oklahoma's Congressional delegation.

The AFL-CIO cautions that voting records are just one item workers should use in considering whether, and how strongly, to back a lawmaker in the coming elections. And some lawmakers without “perfect” records may actually be as pro-worker as their districts allow.

Thus, for example, in Oklahoma, an extremely conservative anti-labor state, Rep. Dan Boren, the state’s Democrat, voted in agreement with the AFL-CIO on 18 roll calls--fewer than any other House Democrat nationwide--and disagreed on 12, including passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Boren missed the other 3 votes.

But Boren was far ahead of the Sooner State’s four other representatives, all Republicans. Each agreed with the AFL-CIO twice and disagreed 30 or 31 times.

From the "Party of Ideas" ~ English Only

With Jim Inhofe in the U.S. Senate and Randy Terrill in the Oklahoma House, there is no shortage of ideas.

Tulsa City Council Election Is April 1st.

During David Patrick's stint as a city councilor a few years back, Tulsans living near the airport complained to him about the poor quality of work performed by a contractor hired to do noise abatement. Their complaints fell on deaf ears as Patrick's campaign was funded by this contractor.

David Patrick is running as an Independent candidate in District 3 against Democrat Roscoe Turner, Council Chair.
