Dear Oklahoma Legislator:
I, along with 100 female attorneys, will be coming to see you Monday. I am asking to meet with you and discuss a resolution to this educational funding nightmare. I feel like we can help you, collectively, come up with a resolution. But let’s be clear. There WILL be change. And it WILL be for the better for our children. As Nelson Mandela once said “there can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” Call my office to schedule a meeting with one of us. My number is 918-895-8200. I’ll await your call. Let me be clear about one thing, we need change. And you will do it, or you have my word…. one of the 100 women by my side will file for your seat…. and we will do it for you. I prefer to work with you. It’s your choice if you will work with me.
Sincerely –
Becki A. Murphy
P.S. I’ll see you Monday. We will be the women in black. You will see us coming.

There is quite obviously a lot of dead wood in the Oklahoma state legislature, and the governor is as well. They need to be replaced by folks who aren’t head-in-the-sand ideological anachronisms. I look forward to many teachers stepping up to save their state from the fools now running it by running against them and winning, by VOTING THEM OUT!

Wonderful number of lawyers and dressed in black. I hope they can change the legislature and capture the position of Governor.

Watch out, Oklahoma officials!
The only thing more determined and dangerous than a female grizzly bear protecting her Cubs is a bunch of female teachers on the picket lines.
And the only thing more determined and dangerous than a bunch of picketing female teachers is a bunch of female lawyers (in black) behind a bunch of female teachers on the picket lines.
Time for the OKlahoma governor to call in Betsy DeVos — so she can run away and act as a diversion.
