PRESS
RELEASE:
OKLAHOMA CIVIL RIGHTS LAUNCHES ANTI-PREFERENCES CAMPAIGN
| Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma - The Oklahoma Civil Rights Initiative is moving ahead with plans for a
November, 2008 ballot measure banning government-sponsored race and gender preferences in
the state. The Oklahoma Civil Rights Initiative will be part of a 'Super Tuesday for Equal
Rights' campaign that will offer citizens of several states the chance to end such
practices in public employment, public education and public contracting. Similar measures
have already passed in three other states, all by overwhelming margins. |

"We believe the people of Oklahoma are fair and believe in equal treatment under the
law," said Rep. Randy Terrill. "Ward Connerly and his organizations have done
excellent work exposing policies that divide us and now we are delighted to have his
support in pursuing the Oklahoma Civil Rights Initiative," Rep. Terrill continued.
