SNL's Victoria Jackson to Appear at Tea Party Rally This Sunday

Citizens, just in time for the upcoming fall elections, the OKC Tea Party is holding its pre-election rally at 3 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 24 on the north side of the Oklahoma State Capitol.

To be featured at the rally is former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson.

Christian Historian David Barton to Speak in OKC on Tuesday

Noted Christian historian David Barton, president of WallBuilders in Aledo, Texas, will be speaking tomorrow night, Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University, in the Hardeman Auditorium, inside the Garvey Center.

Barton, who has been well-known within evangelical Christian circles for decades, is now gaining nationwide exposure because of his role as a American history teacher and consultant to popular radio broadcaster and FOX News personality Glenn Beck.

Ticket prices for Tuesday's presentation by Barton are a suggested $50 per person, $75 for a couple, or $100 for an unlimited number of family members. Organizers, however, are willing to accept a lower contribution to attend if tight finances are a concern for some Oklahoma families.
