Jed Green, head of Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action, spearheaded the effort to legalize medical marijuana in Oklahoma via state question 788 in 2018.  He talks with me about why he believes this was a needed initiative and why he is opposed to the upcoming state question 820 which would legalize recreational marijuana in Oklahoma. He is not opposed to recreational marijuana because, for him, it is a "freedom issue."

In addition, we talk about signature ballots in general in Oklahoma and why rural Oklahoma still has a voice in the process.

Jenni White, former Mayor of Luther, scientist, school teacher, and founder of R.O.P.E. (rope2.org) sits down to talk about her deep dive into exposing "Dark Money" in Oklahoma politics

Jennie White is the former mayor Luther, OK, a scientist, former public school teacher, homeschool mom, and founder of R.O.P.E. (Reclaim Oklahoma Parent Empowerment).

During the latest Republican primary race in Oklahoma, we saw a show of force by Dark Money organizations in various malicious smear campaigns, including mine. 100's of thousands of dollars were spent to demonize candidates who dared to vote their conviction rather than cave to the Republican establishment agenda.  After this primary race where many true conservatives were attacked resulting in their defeat, Jenni did a deep dive investigation into where this money is coming from and how it is influencing Oklahoma elections.  

We just scratch the surface in our hour long conversation here, but take a look at her work on her website at rope2.org.
