CONDEMNING STAND FOR CHILDREN



WHEREAS, Stand for Children (SFC) is a community organizing and lobbying group
originating from out of state, with the goal to promote the agendas of multimillion-dollar
private organizations who want centralized control of education;

WHEREAS, Stand for Children is adamantly supportive of Common Core State Standards
and curriculum, intrusive data collection and sharing, heavy handed teacher evaluation
methods, and forced closings of public schools;

WHEREAS, At the Oklahoma State Capitol in March of 2014, in an effort to deceive the
Oklahoma State Legislature and misrepresent the will of the people, Stand for Children
(SFC) presented a fraudulent pro Common Core petition containing names used without
permission and bogus signatures, including but not limited to Barack Obama as a resident of
Oklahoma City;

WHEREAS, A political arm of Stand for Children was utilized in expending over
$360,000 in the Oklahoma 2014 general elections, all in partisan attempts to defeat
Republicans with liberal democrats and weaken the Republican majority;

WHEREAS, The faulty attempt by Stand for Children to use a dark money group to avoid
disclosure of donors who were targeting Republicans during the 2014 general elections
resulted in a $10,000 fine levied by the Oklahoma Ethics Commission; and

WHEREAS, The same Oklahoma management of the non-partisan advocacy group also
participated as Chair of the dark money group and expended money only used against
Republicans in the general Oklahoma election cycle; therefore be it

RESOLVED, The Oklahoma Republican Party stands in support of our Republican State
Legislature in their adherence to our Republican Party Principles, Platform, and
Resolutions;

RESOLVED, The Oklahoma Republican Party strongly condemns Stand for Children for
masquerading as a non-partisan children's advocacy group while engaging in deceptive
practices to advance the Lefts agenda;

RESOLVED, The Oklahoma Republican Party strongly condemns the subversive and
unethical tactics SFC has used in lobbying the legislature and in influencing competitive
legislative races; and

RESOLVED, The Oklahoma Republican Party strongly condemns Stand for Children as the
behavior exhibited over the past year has no place within good government practices and
civil discourse.
