    • Quanah Schlesselman From an Oklahoma cousin of mine, Quanah Schlesselman Please friends and family - don't post any thing ugly on my status, but I have a sincere reflection I would like to share. My mother, Ruby Geneva, recently celebrated her 103rd birthday October 27th with lots of friends and family! In anticipation of this momentous occasion, I wrote her legislators asking if they could please send her a birthday card. Today, I received another nice greeting. So far, the legislators who responded include Senator Richard Lerblance, OK District 7; Congressman Dan Boren, 2nd District of OK; President Barack Obama; and now, Vice President Joe Biden. It is a great honor that these busy leaders have taken the time to personally pen a greeting to Mom. Mother is a registered Republican and has consistently voted along party lines in state and national elections throughout her life. It is sobering for me to realize that although I diligently requested greetings from ALL Mom's state and national leaders - only Democrats responded. All those votes she cast for Republican candidates throughout her long, long life - I wonder why the Republicans could not take a few moments to wish her a happy 103rd birthday? She would have loved hearing from those she has supported.

    • Please support the Ried/Kyl senate version of Hr2366 (or any other bill) that gives us the personal freedom to play safe, regulated, job producing, revenue generating online poker. We need national regulation or the states will go on out of control. Thank you.

  2. I had the opportunity to tour OEM Systems' facility in Okarche yesterday. This small business is one of the largest compressed natural gas conversion installers in North America. Founded by Lisha Oshman, OEM is an example of how America can achieve energy independence by unleashing the private sector to develop our abundant natural resources.

  5. WATCH NOW AND SHARE - Brett Baier interviewed me today for Fox News Special Report about my concerns with President Obama violating the law by failing to detail his costly regulatory agenda. The administration apparently wants to wait until after the election to let everyone know its true second term agenda.

    "So why do we allow Washington politicians not only to get away with ignoring the law but with continually replacing it with the will of one man called "Mr. President" or a few men called "bureaucrats"?

    President Obama isn't unique among recent chief executives in ignoring laws, but he has been the most blatant. To cite just one example, the law requires executive branch agencies to make public their proposed regulatory agendas every six months.

    As of Wednesday this week, the EPA was thumbing its regulatory nose at the law for the third time in two years. The delay helps Obama avoid giving voters more reasons to boot him out of the Oval Office next Tuesday, since the EPA's expected agenda would likely destroy millions of jobs and pile immense new costs on businesses and consumers.

    Sen. Jim Inhofe, the Oklahoma Republican who has dogged' Obama on this issue for months, correctly points out that "it's bad enough that he's hiding his second-term agenda -- it's even worse that he's violating the law to do it.'"

  7. Check out and share this great Wall Street Journal piece from today, "Where's the Transparency, Mr. President?"

    The column features my efforts to expose President Obama's hidden regulatory agenda in a second term, especially at the Obama-EPA.
  8. Senator Inhofe blasted the Obama administration today for its failure to comply with the law by not releasing its regulatory agenda by the statutory deadline, which was yesterday, October 31, 2012.

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. ...
    § 602) requires that every administration publish its regulatory agenda every six months in the Federal Register. Yet, the Obama administration has failed to comply with this law twice over the past year.

    Last week, Senator Inhofe sent a letter to President Obama requesting that the administration adhere to its next statutory deadline, which was yesterday. As the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Inhofe expressed specific concerns in the letter about EPA’s failure to publish its regulatory agenda.

  10. The Obama administration has failed to comply with the law requiring them to publish in the Federal Register their regulatory agenda for each agency. In fact, it has been more than a year since the administration complied with its legal obl...
    igation to issue such a report.

    Today Senator Inhofe sent a letter to President Obama requesting the administration adhere to its next statutory deadline which is October 31. As the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Inhofe expressed specific concerns about EPA’s regulatory agenda.

    In a statement released today, Inhofe said, “The bottom line however, is that running for election is no excuse for failing to comply with the law. President Obama owes the American public not only a full explanation on why he has failed to comply with the law, but the honest truth about the regulatory onslaught coming in a second term."

  16. I spoke with the Daily Caller about a new Senate report I am releasing today, “A Look Ahead to EPA Regulations for 2013: Numerous Obama EPA Rules Placed On Hold until after the Election Spell Doom for Jobs and Economic Growth.”

    President...
    Obama has spent the past year punting on a slew of job-killing EPA regulations that will destroy millions of American jobs and cause energy prices to skyrocket even more. From greenhouse gas regulations to water guidance to the tightening of the ozone standard, the Obama-EPA has delayed the implementation of rule after rule because they don’t want all those pink slips and price spikes to hit until after the election. But President Obama’s former climate czar Carol Browner was very clear about what’s in store for next year: she told several green groups not to worry because President Obama has a big green ‘to-do’ list for 2013 so they’ll get what they want. The radical environmental left may not need to worry but what about hard working Americans who will lose their jobs and be subjected to skyrocketing energy prices thanks to the Obama-EPA?

    This report also importantly puts the spotlight back on an Obama-EPA that has, as the Washington Post said, earned a ‘reputation for abuse.’ It serves as stark reminder that President Obama has presided over a green team administration that works every day to ‘crucify’ oil and gas companies and make sure that ‘if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem.’

    This report is a wake-up call on the economic pain that the ‘abusive’ Obama-EPA plans to inflict next year – it reveals a President who is more concerned about saving his own job than the millions of Americans who are looking for one today.
