Oklahoma Family Policy Council has always encouraged Oklahomans to utilize principled persuasion, the electoral process, hard work, perserverance, and goodwill in citizens' efforts to change public policy. In trying times like these, we continue to encourage people to adhere to the wise admonition of Scriptue, which says in Romans 12:21, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
In light of the recent exaggerated national media reports of alleged racism, threats, and hatred supposedly expressed by conservative Americans and Tea Party members since the passage of the massive health care bill last Sunday, this March 24 YouTube clip from Glenn Beck's television program is particularly helpful. It serves as a good reminder for all of us to ‘look up’ while we are engaged in the duties of citizenship.

Family Day at the State Capitol Now Just One Week Away
The general public is cordially invited to attend Family Day at the State Capitol next Thursday, April 1 from 9:00 a.m. to noon in Oklahoma City.
Some 25 pro-family groups will be on hand in the 4th Floor Rotunda to explain their nonprofit work to attendees. Perhaps most important, the 2010 Oklahoma Family of the Year will be recognized for the first time publicly and also in the state House of Representatives (beginning at approximately 10 a.m.).
The purpose of this annual Family Day event is to honor the institution of the Family in Oklahoma and to serve as a reminder to state legislators and to Gov. Brad Henry to always remember the family and to consider the family impact of bills -- both positive and negative -- when they are legislating. Gov. Henry has issued an executive proclamation, which declares April 1 as Family Day in the state of Oklahoma.
Family Day at the State Capitol is sponsored by the Character Council of Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Family Policy Council.
Your family is welcome and encouraged to attend.
For more information, call (405) 787-7744.
