Mary "Screw the Poor" Fallin

Mary Fallin Fail: Caring about the Poor in a Ball Gown

Sigh…. I’m all for doing what’s right to help feed the hungry, stop poverty, give children health care, and do what we can to help all Oklahomans end the vicious cycle of not having enough to get by.  But this is a little ridiculous, don’t you think?

Once again, Mary Fallin is only pretending to care with a friendly photo-op and an aging smile, but the reality is that while in Congress she consistently voted against programs that would help people who need the food from these food banks.

FACT:  Mary Fallin received an F rating from the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law.  This for such votes as:

Voting against the Paycheck Fairness Act of 2009, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, Vision Care for Kids Act of 2009, Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, and the worst she voted against the Serve America Act, which among other things reauthorized and expanded the National and Community Service Act and Domestic Volunteer Service Act… this just to name a few.

So while these generous platitudes that we see every Christmas from the state capitol might seem happy and fluffy on the surface, wouldn’t it be great if we actually had a governor who cared about poverty beyond the photo-op?

Fallin Fail: Fallin Lightens Immigration Stance After Election

Fallin Fail: Fallin Lightens Immigration Stance After Election

Governor Elect Mary Fallin did not even wait until she was sworn into office before breaking her first campaign promise. According to a recent article from the Daily Oklahoman, Fallin has signaled a decisive u-turn on immigration.
Fallin had originally said during the Republican primary that she felt immigration was a federal issue and not a state issue. Under heavy criticism from primary opponent Randy Brogdon, Fallin clarified those remarks and said that she supported the Arizona immigration law and would support one like it in Oklahoma.
But not anymore…… Wonder if the RGA will run ads against her for it

Go vote against Mary!
