Ballot Box Breakdown: Right to Harm

We cover a lot of ground in this edition of Red State Radio. Following the aftermath of the Terence Crutcher slaying in Tulsa and the breaking news of a manslaughter charge filed against the police officer who murdered him, the need for civil disobedience has grown exponentially. When will the people of Oklahoma take a real stand and collectively say not only that we support our black community in solidarity, but that we won't take the violence anymore? Then, we welcome the return of Jonathan Simon, author of CODE RED: Computerized Election Theft and the New American Century. He issues us a warning and call to action to prevent the combustion of distrust in the American governmental system by reforming the election process in a way that keeps the vote counts in view of the voters. After that, Billy Hinton, candidate for House District 32, comes on to discuss his campaign, the economy, and most importantly State Question 777, the so-called "Right to Farm" bill that's being shoved onto the ballot this November. The implications of the vague language of State Question 777 will give large agricultural corporations virtual immunity from any kind of regulation sought after by the people. Despite this, the arguments in favor are generally based in fear of a nonexistent threat to lenient local farming practices. The reality is that if this passes, local farms will be devoured and destroyed by the monopoly of giant, corporate factory farms, and, constitutionally, no one will be able to defend against it. We adamantly oppose this measure. Check out Oklahomans for Food, Farm & Family to find resources about the bill and learn ways to help.
