Okla County Republican Precinct Resolution Condemns Sally Kern

February 3, 2009

As more and more disturbing news comes out about Sally Kern’s past and as the Oklahoma House District 84 Representative continues to push an extremist ideology in the state, it appears some of her fellow Republican Party members may be beginning to distance themselves from her.

During the Tuesday, February 3^rd, meeting of the Republican Precinct 330 at the Candlewood Chapel on S. Sooner Road just hours ago, a resolution was introduced that condemned Kern’s 2008 speech over the homosexual agenda.   

The resolution reads as follows:

RESOLUTION 1

WHEREAS Rep. Sally Kern of Oklahoma House District 84 made disparaging comments regarding homosexuals in Oklahoma and abroad; and
WHEREAS Rep. Sally Kern alleged that the homosexual lifestyle was a greater threat to this nation than that of terrorism; and
WHEREAS Rep. Sally Kern has refused to retract her statements; and
WHEREAS Rep. Sally Kern's comments are inflammatory, controversial, unfounded, and divisive;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE REGISTERED REPUBLICANS OF PRECINCT 330 OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA THAT;
Rep. Sally Kern's comments are not reflective of the of the views and opinions held by the majority of the registered Republicans of Precinct 330 of the County of Oklahoma County in the State of Oklahoma; and THAT a copy of this resolution be distributed to the delegates of to the Oklahoma County Republican Convention and to the Platform Committee of the Oklahoma County Republican Party.

The resolution passed without opposition and will be sent to the Oklahoma County Republican Party for further consideration.

Some of the legislation Kern has introduced this session is being frowned upon by state leaders as well. In a recent interview with the Tulsa World, Oklahoma State Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee (R-OKC) assailed her Religious Viewpoints Antidiscrimination Act, by saying, "I have a lot of concerns about that bill. Some who have worked in educational settings say it creates more problems than it solves. There is plenty of First Amendment protection already. There are a lot of issues with that measure. I doubt that it would make it out of the Senate."
