"Deserving vote"
7/18/2008

The 2006 elections brought new Democratic faces to Congress, but not
enough Democratic spine to put the U.S. Constitution on the table. It
is time for Oklahoma to contribute some backbone.

In 2008, Oklahoma's 1st District can and should get rid of our sorry
Republican representative and elect a Democratic congressman who will
demand accountability to the Constitution and to the interests of the
people. We have had enough resolutions, laws and regulations that
encourage greed, subsidize dirty energy, allow warrantless spying on
Americans, and fund continuation of a war we don't want. The latest war
funding vote for another $165 billion was an appalling move to hock the
future of our children.

In the Democratic primary of July 29 we will be able to vote for
grassroots candidate Mark Manley whose priorities are to address the
real needs of common people. For example, Manley will approach the
health-care issue — an issue particularly critical in Oklahoma — from a
citizen's perspective, rejecting Washington's swarming, self-serving
lobbyists who subvert good legislation.

Manley's candidacy represents an admirable commitment to civic duty, and he deserves our vote.

Mark Manley for U.S. Congress in OK-1, against Sullivan

Mark Manley for Congress

Experiment in a Free Democracy

Mark Manley, Democrat from Tulsa, has filed for the office
of US Congress, District 1. Mark believes Oklahomans should have a better
choice this fall and vows to run his campaign with little or no money.
“I will not be bought and paid for by any corporation or special
interest,” commented Mark. "Government needs to support the
people and Constitution first." Mark has been a principled Tulsa
Impeachment Activist for the last couple of years and believes our country is
in a real state of crisis. His platform will include ending the
occupation of Iraq, holding government accountable, investing in alternative
energy and will support an aggressive policy on global warming.

Mark’s past experience in Tulsa has been many years in
manufacturing and more recently, patient care at St. Francis hospital.
He, as well as many of his supporters, believes that it’s time for real
representative government, representing real people on the important issues of
the day. The Manley campaign will focus on presenting a new documentary
“Considering Democracy” for discussion in various town hall type
meetings. Mark looks forward to engaging regular folks in the most
important election of our time.

"Mark's principles recognize not only the right of
the people to demand representation from our government but also accepts the
responsibility of the people to step up to the plate when we're not being
represented by our Government" said Joni LeViness, Peace House~Tulsa
Volunteer and veteran anti-war activist and civil disobedience resource in
Tulsa. "Mark Manley embodies the spirit and the energy of Woody
Guthrie, Will Rogers and Dennis Kucinich! It's a testament to the spirit
of democracy that still exists in the hearts of Oklahomans that he's willing to
step up to the plate!”

After all, our government should be for the people, by the
people, NOT for the wealthy, by the rich and powerful.

CDIC OK1 up and running for 6 months now

LeftDemocrat — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:50:39 -0500

It is with dismay that I still see Oklahoma listed on your page http://democrats.com/cdic-find
as "OK??"

In reality, the CDIC OK1 has been in existence since April 2007, and our website http://www.impeachOK1.org has been up for the last six months.

You can see what the Tulsa Impeachment Committee has been up to either by visiting the discussion forum at the above link, or by visiting www.DemoOkie.com and following the threads about impeachment and Tulsa.

We have been trying hard to get a city council resolution in favor of impeachment.

We were on the phone with David Swanson on Monday evening. And celebrating Kucinich's day in Congress, on Tuesday.

CDIC OK1 members are going to the district office today to harass Sullivan some more.

The forces for and against death are gathering. Soon President Bush
will be promoting more troops for his never-ending war in Iraq with
eyes on extending it to Iran. The people need to show how vehemently
they oppose this folly that is costing both lives and the very
infrastructure of our society.
MoveOn and ImpeachOk1 are hosting a candle-light vigil, one of more than 500 around the country, to promote an end to this war and opposition to the military - industrial complex that feeds on war.

ImpeachOk1 just signed up to host a Candle-Light Vigil with MoveOn.org Political Action and Iraq Summer.

The vigils are important because this September, Congress will decide whether we bring our troops home or spend another year fighting an unwinnable religious civil war. As Congress heads back to DC, we’re here to tell them that it’s time to take a stand.

MoveOn is holding candlelight vigils in cities all over the nation on August 28 to remember the human cost of the war and urge our members of Congress to stop pouring billions of dollars into this endless war.

Representative Sullivan Admits Ignorance At Town Hall

OneActivist — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 21:59:06 -0400

OneActivist & LeftDemocrat ask questions of Rep. Sullivan (OK1) at Lions Club Town Hall Meeting

There is only a 2-line mention in today's paper, about the impeachment
discussion in public with the Representative for OK1:
"Two members of the audience tried to draw Sullivan into discussing
possible impeachment of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, but the three-term
Republican refused to respond."
by: RANDY KREHBIEL Tulsa World Staff Writer
8/15/2007
http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070815_1_A8_spanc4...

The real story;
Following a speech which consisted mainly of defending the industries that grease his palm there was a short question and answer session. After sitting, ignored, with arms outstretched until what looked like approaching the session end, OneActivist lept to his feet waving frantically and was chosen for a question.
"Given that Bush continued a wiretapping, spy program that a Federal
Judge had already found illegal, making him a criminal, shouldn't he be
impeached?"
His answer was that he didn't know, many times there are differing
opinions on these things. The CDIC OK1 member interjected that a FEDERAL JUDGE had found this illegal. Sullivan said he knows he should but that he
didn't pay attention to these things.

The back-and-forth continued, at the Lions. LeftDemocrat replied to Sullivan: "In this late stage of the game, it's frankly inexcusable that you haven't devoted any attention to impeachment. You are responsible, as a member of Congress, for providing checks and balances." He said, walking away: "I'll look into it." I said, closing off: "You do that, Sir! I hold you personally responsible for defending the Constitution!"
Sullivan claimed that "There are 500 plus different investigations going on, for
example, by Waxman." So he's at least --aware-- of the controversies whirling
around this administration, but he said, "I guess I just haven't done my homework."
At this point the Lion in charge lost composure and blurted out that "we don't discuss
politics at the Lions Club." If it weren't for the tension that should have drawn a laugh. It seemed we may be about to be asked to leave.
As the meeting ended LeftDemocrat took off after Sullivan with OneActivist following
as backup.Sullivan did take receipt of a statement of the people's grievances
against the Bush-Cheney administration, namely, this Impeachment Committee's draft
resolution for impeachment, as well as take receipt of our business card, advertising
the www.impeachOK1.org forum for the discussion of impeachment, in his electoral district, OK1.

This time we plan to deliver a list of Oklahomans who have died in the Iraq war to Sullivan. We have signs but if you have your own "Honk for Impeachment" sign, it and you are always welcome!

To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...
