Stop Illegal Immigration NOW! Sign Our Online Petition

Like many of you, I was outraged to hear this week the Obama administration plans to challenge the new Arizona illegal immigration law.

Instead of promoting policies that protect our nation’s borders and enforce our laws, President Obama has chosen to criticize and challenge Gov. Brewer and her state for protecting its citizens by addressing a problem Washington has ignored for far too long.

I support the Arizona law which basically says: if you live in Arizona, you must live there legally.

One thing you can do to help, is join me in supporting Gov. Brewer and the people of Arizona by signing an online petition in support of their efforts to stop illegal immigration. By signing our petition, you’ll be telling President Obama you want our borders secured and illegal immigration stopped!

KOTV: New Poll Shows Mary Fallin Is Oklahoma's Strongest Candidate For Governor

UNDATED -- A brand new poll Wednesday confirmed Republican Congresswoman Mary Fallin remains the top pick in the race for Oklahoma governor.

In a telephone survey of likely Oklahoma voters, Rasmussen put Fallin against the two Democrats in the field.

In a race against Lieutenant Governor Jari Askins, Fallin won with 55% of the vote. Askins received 32%. Fallin's strongest Democratic opponent proved to be Attorney General Drew Edmondson. In that hypothetical race, Fallin received 48% of the vote, compared to Edmondson's 39%.

Edmond Life and Leisure: Our picks for Oklahoma governor

The Edmond Life and Leisure newspaper recently announced its endorsement of Mary Fallin in the Oklahoma gubernatorial race.

"We endorse with full confidence and excitement our current Fifth District Representative in Congress and former Lt. Governor of the great state of Oklahoma, Mary Fallin, for the Republican nomination in the July 27 primary election. This will also come as no surprise for those of you who read this column regularly. The disclaimer I have here is that she is a personal friend and has been one since our kids were young enough to play together at Rotary Christmas dinners.

"However, our friendship is not the reason I endorse her for the Republican nomination for governor. We take a look at these races from a fresh approach every time they run for office to make sure it is a good fit. I have no doubt that she is a perfect fit for this office. Mary Fallin is clearly the most experienced, articulate and capable candidate on the Republican ticket for governor. She has been a lifelong conservative with more than 19 years of public service in an elected office including being a state representative. This is important because working with our state representatives and senators is key to moving Oklahoma forward.

Fallin has the perfect combination and balance of leadership, knowledge, resources and toughness to take Oklahoma to the next level.

AZ Governor Jan Brewer Endorses Mary for OK Governor!

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has announced her support and endorsement of Mary Fallin's bid for Oklahoma governor.

In the wake of the Obama administration’s announcement that it will challenge Arizona’s new immigration law in federal courts, Brewer said “At a time when many have been willing to attack the common sense, rule-of-law reforms we've put into place, Mary has stood with the people of Arizona and defended our right to enforce our laws and protect our citizens.”

Brewer went on to say “I'm pleased to announce my support of Mary Fallin in her campaign to lead Oklahoma, and I look forward to seeing another strong conservative governor in office."


Fallin said she supported Arizona’s tough stance on illegal immigration and applauded Gov. Brewer’s handling of the issue.

“Governor Brewer and the people of Arizona are responding to the Obama Administration’s refusal to protect our borders and enforce our laws,” said Fallin. “They’ve adopted a simple, common sense policy: if you live in Arizona, you have to live there legally. I support that policy, and I think the people of Oklahoma do as well.”
