I'm not promoting use of this letter....it's just my current expression.Governor Henry,I had a sinking feeling that you would veto HB 3354 in the late afternoon of Friday May 14th.  Sadly, I was right.  After 40 other states have approved similar legislation, including states with fewer standards than are currently required by Oklahoma CCW guidelines...it makes me scratch my head and wonder why this legislation wasn't signed into law.  I understand that you need to "follow" party lines and adhere to what D.C. thinks you should do, but I never thought that it would actually have influence on your interpretation of the constitution.  Mr. Governor, so many other free states in our union have clearly demonstrated how responsible people can be trusted with rights (not privileges) given to them by the constitution, yet you see it fit to further limit these given rights.  Governor Henry, you, at one point had the true faith of the Oklahoman that these rights would be restored, not given.  I'm afraid that this good faith is in extreme danger of falling out of reach.  Now is the time for you to remedy this potential problem for the sake of the people that elected you (and the majority of State Congress that approved this legislation.)I urge you to listen to the majority of the people in this state and put partisan politics to rest while considering this legislation that would restore some of our rights given by the constitution.Sincerely,ME.</blockquote>
