I am writing to express my deep concern regarding HB 1236. As a strong advocate for free speech, I urge you to veto HB 1236 and stand up for the fundamental right of every Oklahoman to freely express their opinions without fear of retaliation. HB 1236 threatens to undermine the state's anti-SLAPP law, which has long been a vital safeguard against baseless lawsuits aimed at silencing political speech. The existing law has successfully protected Oklahomans from frivolous litigation for years, ensuring that robust political discourse can flourish. I implore you to consider the potential consequences of HB 1236 on the rights of Oklahomans to freely express their opinions. Please stand firmly against this bill and take a principled stance in defense of our constitutional rights. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Your commitment to upholding the values of free speech and protecting the democratic principles that make our state strong is greatly appreciated. I’ve sent a copy of this email to my legislators as well so they can see my opposition to HB1236. Please veto HB 1236.

I am very concerned about HB 1236. As a concerned citizen and strong advocate for free speech, I urge you to please veto HB 1236 and stand up for the right of every Oklahoman to freely express their opinions without fear of retribution.

I’ve sent a copy of this email to my state legislators as well so they can see my opposition to HB1236.

Where would we be without free speech in Oklahoma? Please veto House Bill 1236. HB 1236 weakens the existing protections against meritless lawsuits and empowers powerful special interests to stifle opposing viewpoints. This erosion of free-speech safeguards would have a chilling effect on political discourse and undermine the democratic principles upon which our great state stands. I know you care about our founding principles. Please veto HB 1236. It is the right thing to do. Thank you for all you do for Oklahoma. I have sent a copy of this email to both of my state legislators as well so they can see my opposition to HB1236.

Free speech is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy, enabling citizens to engage in open dialogue, express their beliefs, and hold their leaders accountable. It is our duty to protect this fundamental right and ensure that all voices, regardless of political affiliation or influence, can be heard. This is why it is so important to veto HB 1236. HB 1236 would undo protections Oklahoma citizens have had for years under the state's anti-SLAPP law, a long time safeguard against baseless lawsuits aimed at silencing political speech. Please stand up for free speech and veto HB 1236. It is the right thing to do. I’ve also sent a copy of this email to my legislators so they can see my opposition to HB1236.

I implore you to consider the potential consequences of HB 1236 on the rights of Oklahomans to freely express their opinions. Please veto HB 1236 and take a principled stand in defense of our constitutional rights. HB 1236 would eliminate the safeguards that Oklahomans have had under the state's anti-SLAPP law, which safeguards against frivolous litigation intended to silence political speech. Big corporations and special interest groups are pushing this bill, and it is not what is best for Oklahomans. Please veto HB 1236 so that Oklahomans can continue to enjoy political discourse without fear of retaliation. Isn’t that part of what makes our state great? Thank you for your attention to this matter. I’ve sent a copy of this email to my state senator and state representative as well so they can see my opposition to HB1236.
