OK-SAFE Action Alert SJR 10 (Claiming sovereignty under the 10th Amendment) & SJR 11 (Rescinding applications to the U.S. Congress to call a Constitutional Convention), SB 483

Oklahoma's SJR 10 Claiming sovereignty under the 10th Amendment, and SJR 11 Rescinding applications to the U.S. Congress to call a Constitutional Convention, both by Senator Randy Brogdon, will be heard on the Senate floor Wednesday, March 4, 2009!Calls and emails needed ASAP - or show up at the OK Senate for the floor vote.[As of this writing the floor vote may occur after lunch, at 1:30pm; to find out the actual time call 1-405-524-0126 and ask for your Senator's legislative assistant.]* SJR 10 reiterates the 10 Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and claims state's rights. The 10th Amendment reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." SJR 10 reads in part, "THAT this serve as Notice and Demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers."* SJR 11 calls for rescinding applications for a Federal Constitutional Convention. A Federal Constitutional Convention would potentially allow the entire U.S. Constitution to be opened to amendment, including the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights.Given today's current altered worldview, opening the U.S. Constitution to a Constitutional Convention by the states creates the potential for great damage to be done, i.e. removing the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, and states' rights under the 10th Amendment.Please call and email your Oklahoma Senator and ask him to support SJR 10 & SJR 11. The OK Senate switchboard number is 1-405-524-0126 or 1-800-522-8502.Other Concerning Issues/Bills to be Heard:* SB 483 by Jolley et al of the Senate and Terrill of the HousePublic safety; directing Department of Public Safety to establish procedures to access computerized images. This bill contains the following very concerning language on page 4:* 3. The Commissioner of Public Safety is authorized to establish procedures and enter into agreements with any other law enforcement agency of this state or political subdivision of this state for the purpose of providing direct electronic access to the photograph or image in computerized format of any person who has been issued a driver license or identification card by the Department of Public Safety.* "Direct electronic access" is the problem - this is open-ended and would allow other agencies or entities direct access to the photo data collected by DPS, rather than by submitting a written request. When applying for a driver's license, a citizen believes he/she is dealing with one agency and one agency only - DPS. Other agencies or entities should submit written requests for photos or other personal data and not be given direct electronic access, over which, in reality, there is no control.* The effort to allow other agencies direct electronic access to our driver's license photo, and possibly other personal information, could make the driver's license the 'gateway' to creating an international ID card.Please call your Senator to express your concerns about SB 483.
