OKLAHOMA CITY — Billed as “Oklahoma’s first-ever indoor Tea Party at the Capitol,” the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance held their indoor Tea Party on Monday less than two hours before Gov. Brad Henry gave his final State of the State address before a joint session of the Legislature.
This loose coalition of groups includes the Sooner Tea Party, AxXiom for Liberty, Moore/Norman 912 Project, Oklahoma Chapter of the John Birch Society, the Muskogee Tea Party, Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ, OKforTea.com, Shawnee/Tecumseh 912 Project, Fair Tax, Oklahoma Second Amendment Association, Tulsa Town Hall, Tulsa 912 Project, OKC 912 Project, ROPE, Tulsa County GOP, Oklahoma 10th Amendment Center, REPO, We Are Change, Remember the Bailout, Lincoln County 912 Project, Kill The Maps 3 Tax, Americans for Prosperity, OSU Tea Party, Oklahoma Conservative PAC and Radio Free Oklahoma.
The purpose, according to organizers J.W. Berry, Al Gerhart, Norm Seaberg and others, was to further organize citizens and have them politely but firmly approach their legislators and urge them to follow the Constitution and support bills that support freedom and liberty in Oklahoma.
Mike McNeil, a Lawton activist involved with the Lawton chapter of the John Birch Society said he came up to the Capitol to participate in the indoor Tea Party in hopes of meeting with a representative from Southwest Oklahoma whom he said was supporting legislation that would be able to track people.
