My decision to run for the Senate has been a very difficult one as I struggled with what I thought I should do and what I wanted to do. I have resolved to follow my convictions and seek to become Oklahoma's next U. S. Senator for the following reasons:

1. I believe we have a deficit of moral courage in the United States Congress. We have many learned individuals who know what is right but have not the courage to stand against the moral corruption that is now attempting to undermine our republic.

2. I believe we have lost sight of the moorings of the constitution in that it was founded upon the principles of a creator and that we have inalienable rights given by that creator. We need leaders who are unashamed of their faith and understand its importance in the maintenance of a free society.

3. I believe that we must address squarely the problems that face us with Medicare and Social Security and discuss openly how we honor commitments to our seniors and protect the future of our children and grandchildren. Ignoring the problem simply says that the future generations can be sacrificed.

4. I believe the U.S. Congress lacks effective leadership to control spending and point out the process by which self serving politicians sell our children down the river with deficit spending. Each and every child I have delivered over the past year has owed 24,000 dollars at the time they took their first breath.

5. I believe our current trade policies have resulted in a loss of the manufacturing base that creates a national security issue.

6. Finally, I believe that we should be about protecting the innocent of which the unborn are paramount. I will do all in my power to protect the unborn.

Oklahoma has a habit of voting against an early front-runner. In 1980 with an open Senate seat, due to the retirement of Henry Bellman, most GOP attention was focused on Jack ZINK and Ed NOBLE. And, a two-year state senator from Ponca City, Don NICKLES, had the audacity to challenge the status quo. He finished 2nd in the Primary, then, won the runoff vs. much better known, and, better-financed Jack Zink. He won the General Election over a popular Dem US Attorney, Andy COATS.

Those who think the OK Senate race is wrapped up for Kirk Humphries are mistaken. Those who respect integrity, and conservative economic, as well as social values are looking at TOM COBURN. Remember - he had the guts to stand up to Newt Gingrich, when party loyalty was in question.
