Congressman Josh Brecheen discusses the progress of the 12 appropriations bills, highlighting the achievement of passing them through regular order, a rare occurrence since 1974.
He emphasizes the importance of finding offsets to fund the Department of Defense's requested $1.2 trillion budget, noting the potential savings from tariffs and other sources.
Brecheen also reiterates his stance on reducing government involvement in healthcare, citing excessive governance as a major contributor to high costs and poor health outcomes.

Jacob Towe, father of Leonardo Towe, fights for DHS reform after little "Leo" died of fentanyl poinsoning due to the failure of DHS to test the mom even after the mom admitted to using fentanyl.  This was a tragic loss that could have been prevented. The hope is that through the passage of Leo's Law, senseless deaths like these can be avoided in the future.

i. Constitution
We Believe
1. We believe the First Amendment's Establishment Clause was intended to prevent a federal
government-sponsored or preferred religion, not to separate God from our government or to
remove religion from public life; therefore, we affirm our right under the First Amendment of the
United States Constitution to exercise our freedom of speech including religious speech.
2. We believe the Second Amendment is an individual right of the citizens of the United States to keep
and bear arms; therefore, we oppose any attempts, whether by law or regulation at any level of
government, to restrict any citizen's right to keep and bear arms (open or concealed), to restrict
access to ammunition, or to record the purchase thereof.
3. We believe the United States Constitution directs the judiciary to interpret law, not make law or
create law through judicial activism.
4. We believe in the concept that Congress shall make no law that applies to citizens of the United
States that does not apply to the Senators and Representatives.
5. We believe in the concept of nullification as a legitimate tool for adjudicating disputes between the
states and the federal government when the federal government enacts a law clearly not in
pursuance of the constitution and powers delegated in Art. I, Sec. 8.
6. We believe in the Tenth Amendment that provides "the powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to
the people," and we oppose any attempt by the federal government to intrude on state's rights.
7. We believe the Constitution provides for a clear and distinct separation of powers among the three
branches of government. Any governmental action that tends to promote or allow one branch of
government to practice the power or powers of the other branches of government is a violation of
the limits placed on government by the people.
8. We believe in the duty and obligation of the federal government and the State of Oklahoma to
adhere to and respect treaties between the federal government and the Indian tribes.
We Support
1. We support the display of Judeo-Christian religious symbols, including the Ten Commandments in
public places.
2. We support legislation that will protect gun and ammunition manufacturers or resellers from
lawsuits attempting to hold the manufacturers or resellers liable for misuse of guns.
3. We support requiring that candidates for president present public proof of qualification in
accordance with the Constitution at the time of filing, through the election board of each state.
4. We support a US Constitutional Amendment requiring a balanced budget.
18
5. We support a US Constitutional Amendment instituting term limits for all elected members of
Congress.
6. We support a U.S. Constitutional Amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one
woman.
7. We support a requirement that each piece of legislation only address one issue.
8. We support the review and minimization of the Endangered Species Act.
9. We support the abolishment, or reduction and restructuring, of the Environmental Protection
Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, IRS, CIA, ATF, FBI,
FEMA, NSA, DHS, CDC, and the Department of Labor and their powers and responsibilities
distributed to state authority.
10. We support the protection of public and private sector whistleblowers who have firsthand
information.
11. We support union's refunding dues used for partisan political activity.
12. We support the right of private associations to admit or deny membership based on what each
association's conscience dictates.
13. We support an English Language Act, which would make English our official language in the United
States.
14. We support the idea that when U.S. Conference Committees meet, they should consider only those
terms submitted from the House and Senate, with no additional expenditures and items added.
15. We support the preservation of the National Day of Prayer.
16. We support legislation to limit the power of federal regulatory agencies.
17. We support the identification of persons as citizens or non-citizens in the census.
We Oppose
1. We oppose any federal taxation on firearms, ammunition, or accessories and/or confiscation of
firearms, ammunition, or accessories.
2. We oppose universal background checks and red flag laws for firearm purchases.
3. We oppose any legislation that would require the use of trigger or other locking devices on firearms.
4. We oppose any so-called "assault" weapons ban and any effort to register or restrict firearms,
ammunition, or magazines.
5. We oppose legislation that would require gun owners to purchase insurance policies covering the
misuse of their firearms.
6. We oppose the Patriot Act and the NDAA' s Sections 1021 and 1022, which allow American citizens,
19
except for enemy combatants, to be held indefinitely without due process, and call for its repeal.
7. We oppose court decisions based on any foreign law, such as Sharia Law, U.N. regulations and other
international organizations, instead of U.S. law and Constitutional doctrine.
8. We oppose the creation of a new federal internal security force.
9. We oppose federal wage caps.
10. We oppose Statehood for the District of Columbia and allowing its representative a vote in
Congress.
11. We oppose the appointment and funding of presidential "czars."
12. We oppose any attempts by the Federal Government to reinstitute the "Fairness Doctrine" or
institute "Net Neutrality."
13. We oppose the construct of "Free Speech or Safe Zones."
14. We oppose national injunctions by federal district courts.
15. We oppose the use and sharing of data from Automated License Plate Readers as an infringement on our
4th amendment protected rights.
ii. Criminal Justice
We Believe
1. The rights of victims and their families must be protected in criminal proceedings, with notice and
opportunity to attend all proceedings related to the crime(s) against them.
2. Restitution by the convicted criminal should be ordered to be made to the victim (or his estate) to
compensate for losses and damages incurred as a result of the crime(s) committed.
3. The death penalty must be retained as an available punishment in appropriate cases.
4. Inmates who abuse the legal system by filing repeated frivolous claims should receive appropriate
punishments for their misconduct.
5. Decisions on prison reform should be made by the Legislature after consultation with district
attorneys, prison officials, and other interested parties, with the view towards stopping criminal
behavior early, rather than adopting permissive treatment of low-level crimes which may deceive or
encourage a young adult to continue on the wrong path under the mistaken assumption that there
will be no consequences for criminal behavior. Consideration of incentives for first-time or youthful
offenders who refrain from further misconduct may be a useful option to be considered in designing
such reforms.
6. We believe in due process and that no one should be deprived of life, liberty, or property by the
government or its agents without either being found guilty by a jury or pleading guilty of a crime.
We therefore oppose the practice of civil asset forfeiture.
20
We Support
1. We support the repeal of The Oklahoma Uninsured Vehicle Enforcement Diversion Program as it is
unconstitutional at the state and federal level.
We Oppose
1. We oppose the monitoring, surveillance and tracking of United States citizens without a lawfully
obtained warrant.

voter rolls to ensure all currently registered voters are eligible.

compliance with Secretary of State directives.

General Election.

distort the procedures of the Electoral College.
