@JakeMerrick4Gov has addressed it. He did not request the GoFundMe, a supporter set it up. I’m sure he did or will accept the funds. There’s nothing illegal or immoral about accepting a gift. Why aren’t these same people questioning the millions of dollars spent in the other campaigns? They continue to attack the true grassroots conservative-and drive away any potential support for Mazzei. I think it’s a mental illness.
That and Oklahoma has been in play for years… since 2011 when we flipped Democrat state to Republican.
The legislature is in place… under the control of the rules designed by leadership to ensure conservative legislators have very little representation so they will compromise (learn to play the game)… ask any of the them.
So if you want to sell Oklahoma to the back bone you have to put Trumps name, regardless. It is the sugar to swallow the sour being served. That might be enough for those who will vote.
@gentnerdrummond Oh this is hilarious 😂… yep he is his own man … most arrogant classic narcissistic men are.
Drummond doesn’t need your vote. He is self made in his own head.
Jake will do the right thing, he will not cave to pressure. He is not concerned about the political aspect… He is concerned about principle. That’s what so many people simply cannot seem to comprehend. If Mazzei wants the votes of @JakeMerrick4Gov’s supporters, he had better figure out a way to earn their trust and earn their vote because thus far he has not done that. Many of Jake’s supporters are not going to just hand their vote over… Mazzei is not entitled to anything… He needs to earn it.
Not surprised at all… however when candidates are suppress and sensored… someone who was clearly favored by grassroots, the back of Oklahoma and 11 counties went totally for Merrick…
You start to smell the fish that’s rotting and then you recognize the smell is coming from within your own party.
@LouLouLiberty@AmyShannan I would want to know what his full power and authority would be… Is it a nameplate to get votes or would he actually have the authority to make the reform and will they ALLOW that reform to go through or just enough so people go look tiny baby win…yeah!!!
Thank @JacksonLahmeyer I can’t imagine how difficult this time has been but I am truly grateful you made this decision.
There is a promised time to heal… for you and your family. ❤️🔥
It certainly is legal and the rot that has grown from this is putrid….but ignore the smell it is just our imagination.
Not everything or everyone is for sale… but in this day and age it’s becoming very very very limited because we’ve incentivized everything from Healthcare to Education to Politics we have Normalized the buying and selling of our Elected Officials which keeps We The People enslaved.
I don’t have more freedom because I am a R, D, I, L it makes no difference… we have to fight tooth and nail our own Super majority Republican legislators just to get REPRESENTATION! It is utter ridiculousness!
We talk of the Uniparty it is on full display right now…you don’t need anything but money to get elected. We have men who have made money as the way to obtain power and that makes them Pliable and Comprisable and a registered democrat to choose your horse wisely.
This is Obscene and Disgusting that our elections are just which candidate can just ‘Loan’ themselves as much as they can borrow to avoid having to raise funds so that later if they win they can funnel money through donations back to their campaign and no one is the wiser of what promises are being made.
Oh but SCOTUS allows and everyone does it is a justification to legally have patronage politics, not elections.
Very disappointed
Consider this: Jake Merrick spent $82,000 to run for Governor and the Charles McCall campaign spent $7.3 million. (Mazzei spent the most at $11.5 million and Drummond at $7.1 million) Overall, an incredibly expensive race @kfor
🤬Sad because our state is for sale… Just because something is SCOTUS Stamped doesn’t mean it is good for Americans.
We have incentivized everything! If just borrow as much money as you can possibly get your hands on instead of raising funds… Then, if you win, your pockets will be lined from whomever for whatever and it doesn’t matter what the constituents want… This is just good politicin’.
Elected Officials are a consumerize product and as long as the party affiliation is correct then it is good.

I think you are indicating for X users… have you heard this from candidates… it is interesting because we know other countries have influence on our own government and elections.
There are always phrases that are used as a euphemism… Some codeword. Just looking at some of the phrases that were used they would all seemed to raise a red flag.
SM is influencers… influencing … but this is an important issue. 👍🏽
This one is sad and heartbreaking, however, it is why we must vigilantly vet candidates… even if it is uncomfortable. We have to know who and what we maybe putting in Congress.
CD-1 Does he survive to go on to General Elections?
If a man will betray his wife while preaching fidelity from the pulpit, why keep him in that pulpit?
If a pastor will betray his flock, why trust him with their souls?
If a politician will betray voters during a campaign, why trust him with their vote?
Character matters. A man compromised at home is far easier to compromise in Washington.
@CarlyABird@OkieDad918@gentnerdrummond@CyndiMunsonOK Well, to be fair, he loaned himself more money than Munson did… so he could play Partonage Politics and Drummond had a huge Democrat events for wealthy Democrats to donate months ago. He is their go to… to get the job done.
But he is just an arrogant narcissist.
