Petition to remove Governor Fallin, as Governor of Oklahoma!
Hi,
To whom it may concern:
Under authority of 2014 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 51. Officers
§51-51. Liability to impeachment - Grounds for impeachment.
Universal Citation: 51 OK Stat § 51-51 (2014)
We, the people of Oklahoma, are requesting that Governor Mary Fallin face Impeachment on the many levels and facets that Mary Fallin has failed Oklahoma.
Mary Fallin has broken her Oath, which she swore to uphold when she took office again in 2014. She has exhibited corruption while in office, and willful neglect of duty and incompetency while acting as a leader for all of Oklahoma.
A Resolution calling for impeachment of Governor Mary Fallin to SECTION VIII-1 of the Oklahoma Constitution states the following: The Governor and other elective state officers, including the Justices of the Supreme Court, shall be liable and subject to impeachment for willful neglect of duty, corruption in office, habitual drunkenness, incompetency or any offense involving moral turpitude committed while in office.
We bring you the following reasons to consider:
A. Oklahoma ranks 48th in education out of 50 states.
B. Mary Fallin cut taxes for Oil & Gas industries shortly after receiving some of the highest political campaign contributions from those same industries for her 2014 campaign win. Mary Fallin cut their taxes from 7% to 2%, while knowing OPEC productions were continuing to hurt the price of Oil per Barrel across the country, ultimately causing a good portion of the $611 million budget deficit.
C. Up through the 3rd quarter of 2013, Mary Fallin received $38,250 from private prison corporations via political donations. Her biggest push was for private prisons to be introduced in Oklahoma from 2012 to 2013.
D. Mary Fallin promoted and supported failing State Superintendent Janet Barresi, who wasted millions upon millions of dollars for Education here in Oklahoma on Common Core, standardized testing and wasteful spending at all levels of education. Then, only moments before her election and after thousands marched on the Capitol lawn, Mary Fallin changed her mind and signed a bill to stop Common Core in Oklahoma.
E. Mary Fallin continues to undermine Teachers and Educators by not offering pay raises and by not offering respect, ultimately causing OKC schools alone to hand out over a thousand emergency hiring certificates to under-qualified teachers. Teachers were either leaving the state for more respect or for better pay at different places of work, ultimately making our educational rankings worse by having poorly trained and under-qualified teachers, leading to even lower rankings in Public Education.
F. We are potentially facing a $1 billion budget deficit and total depletion of the rainy day funds.
G. She removed $50 million from the seized property funds that may have belonged to individuals who were never convicted of a crime or felony in order to help balance the state budget in 2015.
H. Mary Fallin accepted gifts from private donors and took a second luxurious European trip, and wouldn’t disclose how much her security detail and other expenses cost the state of Oklahoma.
I. During the eleven days the state was flooded, there was zero response from her second in command, Todd Lamb, and zero response for disaster assistance or relief from Mary Fallin because she was more concerned about her European trip. The state went eleven days with no answers and no solutions, while people's homes, businesses, land and lives were lost or destroyed.
J. Mary Fallin is consistently putting big money and those who further her political career over the needs of people and Oklahoma.
K. Mary Fallin invested almost 50% less in mental health then the rest of the nation, causing some of the highest prison populations in the nation, as well some of the highest crimes and violent offenders anywhere in the United States.
L. From 2008 to 2013, Mary Fallin claimed to invest more in per pupil funding, which went from $8400 per student to $7672.00; that is less 7.6%. There may be slight increases in educational funding, yet our teachers are still understaffed, over-worked and some of the lowest paid in the Nation, in some cases 20 to 30% lower.
M. Mary Fallin defied an order from the Oklahoma state supreme court to remove The Ten Commandments. Mary Fallin directed Scott Pruitt to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight for her religious beliefs. Mary Fallin first said it was for historical purposes, then 2 months later got on National TV and said it was for religious purposes. The Oklahoma Constitution voted on and by the people of Oklahoma says the monument cannot stay. Mary Fallin should be held in contempt of court for using her religious beliefs to defy the law.
N. Mary Fallin broke her OATH that Mary Fallin swore to uphold by defying the highest court in the land, and then tries to rewrite the entire State Constitution to meet her needs.
O. Instead of diverting lottery money to K-12, Mary Fallin wasted most of those dollars in higher education, all due to failed leadership and poor development planning.
P. Oklahoma has some the highest incarceration rates of nonviolent offenders in the nation, yet Mary Fallin came up with a program to speed up the release of violent criminals such as rapists, murderers and those who committed other heinous crimes against the people of Oklahoma, before releasing someone for smoking Marijuana. This bill and law was quickly and quietly put through in 2015 with little knowledge given to the public.
Q. Mary Fallin supported the Republican League of Women, who on a number of occasions promoted bigoted and racist comments, as well as supported the OK GOP political party that compared those on welfare to Animals. It wasn’t until it received national attention that Mary Fallin even took action.
R. Mary Fallin wasted taxpayer dollars by letting her daughter keep a trailer on state property and paid to have utilities to her trailer run and hooked up to city lines for electric, television, water and gas lines for over four months.
S. Mary Fallin continues to put prison funding levels at a higher rate of pay then education in Oklahoma, even though we ranked 48th in the nation.
T. Mary Fallin states to be a Christian who is tolerant, forgiving, understanding and overall a kind, caring individual, while supporting and standing behind legislators in her party bills that Mary Fallin knows were unconstitutional against the LGBT community. Then she wasted millions of taxpayer dollars because Mary Fallin doesn’t believe in any other Marriage besides the one of a Man and a Woman.
U. Mary Fallin and Scott Pruitt continue to waste tax payer dollars on frivolous law suits against Marijuana in other states, unconstitutional laws, The Ten Commandments, fighting the EPA and fighting the Affordable Care Act introduced by President Obama.
V. She didn’t accept Medicaid funding in Oklahoma, leaving us deeper in debt and causing over 600,000 Oklahomans to be left with no healthcare and potentially left to die without proper Medicaid funding, simply for political reasons and her dislike for President Obama.
W. Dozens of Oklahoma’s children continue to suffer from seizures and other rare, unknown medical conditions, but Mary Fallin refuses to sign executive orders in support of Medical Marijuana or full legalization, all because it goes against Mary Fallin’s Religious Freedoms.
X. She unfairly put a ban on minimum wage increases here in Oklahoma.
Y. She admitted after 5 long years that the use of Injection Wells that are related to fracking are causing Oklahoma to have Earthquakes, all of which have caused millions of dollars in damages to our bridges, overpasses, roads, residential homes, schools and businesses. She was in full support of Oklahoma Oil and Gas because of their large campaign contributions she willfully received.
Z. That on May 11,2018 she willfully chose to veto Senate Bill SB1212 The Constitutional Carry bill which shown to have considerable support not only from the Oklahoma internal government by number of votes. That which she willingly violated a promise she had made prior that if that type of legislation came across her desk, she would sign in favor.
We ask the government of the State of Oklahoma to find a lack in confidence in her as the Governor.
With all these items and more against Governor Mary Fallin and how she has failed Oklahoma and the people in it, we ask that impeachment proceedings begin immediately.
Respectfully,
We the People of Oklahoma
