OPEN
LETTER TO REPUBLICANS
Did Americans vote against the Republican
Party on the national level because they really
thought the Democrats were any better or because they
were tired of Republicans trying to out-do the
Democrats at being Democrats?

Letter To Republicans by John Lewis
THE
DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM
Having long postured as advocates of limited
government, conservatives - as exemplified by the
Bush Administration - have abandoned that posture in
favor of expanding government. Why have
conservatives abandoned their own long-held positions?
What has replaced them, and why? What will it really
take to succeed at restricting the size and power of
government?

Decline and Fall of American Conservatism by C.

CHANGES
AT GAYOKC.COM
News
items will no longer be posted here at GayOKC.com.
From now on, the front page will focus exclusively on
opinion and commentary.
There are many
reasons for this, the main one being that I currently
do not have the time to devote to keeping GayOKC.com
updated with newsworthy items in a timely manner, and
will not for the forseeable future.
Every posting that
has required the creation of a new page here at
GayOKC.com will continue to remain online as part of
my original vision of an online archive for Oklahoma
City's GLBT community. This includes material by Joe
Quigley, Jim Nimmo and others - although my practice
of posting more items on the front page in recent
years limits the amount of more recent material that
will be available.
I encourage all
those who are interested in the history of our
community during these past 8 years to avail
themselves of the Search function, located on the Search page.
I continue to remain
convinced of the viability of a daily online news
service for Oklahoma City's GLBT Community, and I
regret that I have been unable to organize the
resources required to make that happen.
THE STATE OF
OUR COMMUNITY
Not having time to devote to keeping GayOKC.com up
with the news also means that I will not have time to
organize a 2007 edition of The State of
Our Community.
I would like, however, to invite the major GLBT
organizations here in OKC - such as the Cimarron
Alliance Foundation, DBA Metro and Oklahoma Gay and
Lesbian Political Caucus - to consider putting
together a similar event themselves.
I also invite those
who have spoken at past editions of The State of Our
Community to write essays on their views of our
current situation, which I will post here on GayOKC.com
during January.
