2009 Policy Issues
- Term Limits for state-wide elected officials
File legislative referendum that would create term limits for all secondary state-wide elected officials. State question would be on the 2010 general election ballot. Policy would call for each official to only serve two consecutive terms for each office.
- Initiative Petition reform
Work to expand the number of days to collect signatures and lower the required percentage of collected signatures based on previous election. Develop a process to make sure petitions meet legal definitions prior to collecting signatures and organizing issue advocacy campaigns.
Advance legislation that allows parents to track student progress as well as teacher and school performance. Require all Oklahoma school districts to publish online operating budgets and check registers for taxpayer review.
Develop coalition that will educate voters about SQ 744 and the adverse effects it would have on Oklahoma families and businesses.
Work with legislative leaders to prioritize spending and provide tax relief to Oklahoma families through reductions in the state income tax and personal property tax.
