DURANTDEMOCRAT.COM ForumSATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2019 3 EDITORIAL Oklahoma Ethics Commission may believe so BY TRENT ENGLAND Oklahoma Council on Public Affairs
A group of soccer moms hear about a bill in the legislature that would affect school sports. They decide to post about it on Facebook. One of them runs the team’s website and puts information there. Two of them drive to a couple of public meetings to raise awareness about the issue, and several other moms kick in for gas. Are they lobby- ists? Not yet. If the Oklahoma Ethics Commission gets its way, they will be. While the current proposal would not require them to register, it would mandate that every statement about a pending bill— whether on a personal social media page, in a meeting, or even just person-to-person— will require a warning that the statement is a “lobbying communication.” Sound outrageous? It gets worse. What if the opinions of those moms dif- fer from the opinions of their kids’ coach- es? The moms might want to keep their activities private to protect their kids. Right now, their privacy is safe, but the Oklaho- ma Ethics Commission is trying to change that, too. The Commission wants to force disclo- sure of people who contribute to efforts like this.
