Dear Senator Lee,
Several of my friends talked with people in your office yesterday. Some indicated a need for additional information.
As background, I am a grassroots movement conservative for many years, first in Texas and now in Oklahoma. I was dismayed at the endorsement you and Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin made here in Oklahoma. Anyone who vets their candidate endorsements and wants to promote true conservatives would not have landed on the choice made. Additionally, it undermines the time and treasure of all the people working day in and day out (on the ground) for less government and for constitutional government.
It causes us to not trust you in the future because we have seen what you did this time. This could have been just a mistake for you and so we’d like to give you an opportunity to withdraw your endorsement and apologize to the grassroots here.
The background on Senator Randy Brogdon is that he was looking at a primary run against Mary Fallin this cycle. He almost beat her in the last cycle in a statewide race for the governor’s slot. Fallin has caused us nothing but problems from drones to common core since then. Brogdon decided to go for the open senate slot rather than primary Fallin. The good news there is another fellow named Dax Ewbank who has stepped up to primary Fallin. But that is another story.
So Brogdon was a little late to announce for the open senate seat and does not appear well in the early polling tabs compared to the other two big names in the race if that is all you were looking at. However, he is the conservative champion and his record is sterling. He is well liked by the grassroots conservatives. We are always looking for leaders in our state who do the right thing for the right reasons. So we don’t appreciate it very much when we watch some big money coming in from out of state to undercut our efforts for life and liberty in Oklahoma.
Here is a summary of Senator Brogdon’s recent record:Oklahoma State Senator 2002-2010
