The Madill Record
Letter to the editor
Dear Editor, I am a lifelong Oklahoman. I love my state but as a woman I do not like or appreciate the draconian direction our current elected leaders keep trying to take us.
Oklahoma is #1 in the entire world for locking up women. This status disturbs me.
James Lankford believes he has the right to restrict women’s access to health care with his support to restrict abortion. This is backwards thinking.
Writing laws to incarcerate more people is not the direction I want to see the state that I love continue to go in. I implore every woman who can vote to please make sure you can and do. If youneed help with voting or who’s running, please seek it out.
Find a sample ballot and study it. Google all the candidates and questions and know who or what you are voting for. Madison Horn is the alternative to James Lankford.
We already know he does not see women as equals and believes he should legislate restricting our access to healthcare. James Lankford is for banning books which goes hand in hand with the ongoing “Incarcerate don’t educate” mentality that keeps the oppressors of progress in power.
We do not need more jails, prisons and football fields. We do not need more cops. We need leaders who will focus on real issues with human solutions and not waste endless amounts of taxpayer funds litigating anyone or anything that disagrees. Until she proves otherwise, I’m voting for Madison Horn as I already know James Lankford wants to diminish my rights as a female.
