ROPE Report

ADDITION: State Superintendent Candidate Dr. John Cox is being added to the schedule for LABOR DAY MONDAY at 9am. Also, our podcast for THIS Friday (5.22.26) is canceled, so don't tune in! LOL

LET'S TALK ABOUT SIGNS, BABY! Every UNDERDOG campaign has the inevitable 'sign wars' issue. I'm not sure why. I mean, if you're taking tens of thousands of dollars from special interests, lobbyists and PACs - like my opponent John George - WHY WOULD YOU EVEN CARE what you're opponent is doing? Right? 🤣 I'm only running on my record (check it out, it's full of instances of helping out ordinary, everyday citizens all over the state over nearly 20 years on my own dime!) and the dollars - and help - of my family, friends and citizens in the district. There are John George signs all over this district - most in vacant lots - but they are huge and everywhere. One of my volunteers had to go replace the yard signs we'd placed at the end of my very own street because ours were SPECIFICALLY removed and replaced with his. I mean, it's hysterical and all, but again, why? It makes me wonder why so many of my supporters don't want to put one of my signs in their yard when I ask... Good thing I live behind a gate. We might be getting the old lighted bag of dog poop on the porch too...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS...I called and emailed my OK CO Commissioners office and asked if we could put our yard signs in easements before we placed any signs. They said we could, as long as they were near an established sign so the mowers wouldn't hit them when they mowed. All the rest of ours are placed in brave supporters yards or lots! 💪😀

Such a truly bad idea. The bad ramifications for passing this state question are endless and will end up coming right out of your pocket if you're mislead enough to vote for SQ832.

Oklahoma State Representative Gabe Woolley Is Still Fighting to Save His Nephew from DHS Clayton Woolley has reportedly run away again and has once again been placed into DHS custody. On May 17, 2026, 13-year-old Clayton reportedly ran nearly 3 miles from the Broken Arrow home of his guardian, Amanda Lindstrom, to the home of Julia Evans. Witnesses say Clayton described serious allegations of abuse, including starvation, being locked in closets, physical mistreatment, and fear for his safety. Five witnesses have reportedly signed affidavits describing what they heard directly from Clayton. This latest incident has reignited concerns surrounding Oklahoma DHS, family courts, and the guardianship arrangement that has kept Clayton separated from his biological family for years. The History The case began in 2018 after Clayton’s infant brother, Elijah Woolley, tragically died while in the care of their paternal grandparents, Bill and Lisa Woolley. The grandparents were arrested and charged with murder and child abuse, spending about eight months in jail before all charges were dropped in 2021. Despite being cleared, Clayton was never returned to his biological family. Instead, he remained in the guardianship of Amanda Lindstrom, Clayton’s paternal aunt and a Broken Arrow Police Department employee. For more than seven years, the Woolley family has fought for visitation and reunification, saying they have repeatedly presented evidence showing Clayton’s desire to return home, along with ongoing concerns involving the Lindstrom household. The case has been highlighted through the “Saving Clayton” film and the “Rescue Clayton Podcast,” hosted by Rep. Gabe Woolley, Clayton’s uncle and one of the most vocal advocates pushing for accountability and reform. What’s Happening Now • April 1, 2026: Fourteen Oklahoma lawmakers sent a letter to Governor Kevin Stitt, Attorney General Gentner Drummond, and DHS Director Jeff Cartmell outlining concerns about Clayton’s welfare, citing DHS referrals, school incidents, witness statements, and unanswered attempts by Clayton’s biological mother, Desiree Woolley, to verify her son’s safety. • As of the latest public update, no public response had been issued. The lawmakers later released the letter publicly to increase transparency and accountability. • May 17 Runaway: Clayton reportedly arrived at a relative’s home and described the alleged abuse. A Ring camera reportedly captured his arrival. Family members attempted to obtain an emergency protective order, but Tulsa County courts denied the request because the matter was already set for a July hearing. • Current Status: Clayton has reportedly been moved into a new foster placement. Lawmakers, including Senator Dana Prieto and Rep. Gabe Woolley, are now calling for the OSBI to conduct an independent investigation into the handling of the case. According to lawmakers and family members, there have been at least 14 documented DHS referrals connected to the Lindstrom household over time. Other children connected to the home, including Clayton’s half-siblings, were reportedly removed previously through protective orders involving similar allegations. This case has become a major flashpoint in the debate over Oklahoma’s DHS system, family court transparency, and child welfare accountability. For years, Gabe Woolley and Clayton’s family have continued fighting to make sure Clayton’s voice is heard and that he has the chance to reunite with biological relatives who have never stopped advocating for him. Clayton deserves safety. He deserves stability. He deserves to be heard. Many believe the system has failed him for far too long. Share this if you believe family reunification matters when parents and relatives have been cleared and a child is asking for help. Demand accountability from Governor Stitt, Attorney General Drummond, DHS, and the courts. #RescueClayton #SaveClayton #OklahomaDHS #FamilyMatters

Yesterday I made a comment at a door that I'm still very much regretting today. I told the homeowner to have a happy Labor Day - because I suddenly got confused as to whether it was Labor Day or Memorial Day. Then, to top it off, I felt like I sounded flippant when I said something like, "whichever it is". CRINGE! That's a big deal to me. I could give a thousand excuses for my slip up - I'm tired, my eye is king l killing me, blah, blah, blah - but there isn't any excuse for being flippant about a day for which we remember the millions of Americans who laid down their lives for this country while serving in its military. My dad was in the Navy, my husband and Uncle were in the Army - I have immediate family members who served - but they came home. What about all those men and women who didn't? It's a heartbreaking thing. Every spouse who has to go on without their soul mate - the thought - and reality - is heartbreaking. So please, this Memorial Day weekend, sincerely think on the millions of American lives lost in service to their country, the effect that loss has on their families, and pray for their comfort. As I well know with the loss of my mom - loss is forever and the hole it leaves is huge. To every family who has lost a loved one in service to this country: I thank you for their service and may God bless you in their loss.

Quite the productive Friday afternoon! Thank you so much @DeeDobson139512 for your help! You ladies rocked it! So blessed to have the support of these fabulous women! Plus, nice new sign on Luther road and some new friends to boot! 💪🔥😀

Anyone willing to help us put a forum together?

Interesting. You see that a playing the victim. I see that as taking responsibility for my failures. I guess that's another major difference between us John. By the way, I haven't heard back about the email I sent you asking to help me put together a candidate forum to educate our voters. Why not?

Quit trying to play victim. You are not just some constituent from the district. You’re my opponent who has been bashing me for weeks.

Couple of things here to address. First: unless it was for gas, I've never taken a dime for ANY advocacy work I've done over the nearly 2 decades I've worked to help citizens push back against their government. No PAC, no lobbyist, no special interest money. Just people helping us with gas to drive all over the state giving presentations it took us months to put together. Second: my second term, I finished 4th in a 4- way race for the Luther Town Board after I'd been mayor for 4 years. I was so sad, I cried on the last day I served on the Board. It was the best job I ever had and I loved it so much! I was so sad not to have been re-elected, but I did an honest job that had lots of huge highlights for me and the town, so I have nothing to be ashamed of. How many people spend four years working to better a Town without any pay at all for no other reason at all than to help make things better for the residents? Third: Yes, I did come in 3rd in the GOP Chair race - within the same month I lost the Town Board race. In addition, the day I came home from the GOP election I found that my father-in-law had died while I was away. I ran for that office - like the Town of Luther Board - because someone asked me to step up and do it. How many people step up to run for a position they know they're more than likely not going to win because they were asked? Especially one that doesn't pay? Four: Yes, I was FIRED from the Oklahoma County Election Board and I was referred to the AG and the DA for investigation for publishing my observations of what I saw while I was the Alternate member to Cheryl Williams who was the official member on the Board. The Oklahoma County Election Board was not following state law and Cheryl and I documented those instances and told legislators what we found - including Representative John George. I asked my Representative to get involved and help with the situation - since I felt I was being fired in retaliation of my First Amendment rights - but his solution was to go to the Secretary of the Election Board who told him everything was fine, so he did nothing more. I filed a lawsuit against the State Election Board which is now on appeal since the judge ruled for me in every instance, but then did the work of the jury by issuing a Summary Judgement assuming they would have fired me anyway. I do not ignore my failures. I learn from my failures and I'm happy to do so! I do have an incredible list of wins - none the least of which is working for four years to get a law REPEALED (Common Core), being invited to be in Glenn Beck's national movie about Common Core, helping Luther win the Best Town of four that hosted the Free Wheel bicycle tour - and more! One only has to check out my LinkIn page to see them for yourself. It's a sad day when a state Representative wants to demean the failures of people in his district. Maybe you should share and repost. I'm not scared of John George - or anyone but God. I know I'm honest and a hard worker and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Period.

It’s not just Michigan. Homeschooling is not just a better option, it’s a necessity.

V1SUT Vantage's Katy Smith Interviews Jake Merrick For Governor x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@JakeMerrick4Gov Right here! Tomorrow morning at 9am LIVE!

My opponent is cracking me up. Every screenshot someone sends me from social media is of him doing something I've done or posted on, days or weeks before. I mean, is he a Xerox? 😎 Here's one he CAN'T copy, though - I'm not taking PAC, lobbyist or special interest money. John George got exactly $250 from an individual in HD36 last quarter. ALL the rest came from PACS lobbyists and special interest groups. And now he's got DARK MONEY ads pimping him on FOX! Don't be fooled - I'm running to represent YOU, not PACS, LOBBYISTS or SPECIAL INTERESTS - John George can't copy that! 😂

V1SUT Vantage's Katy Smith Interviews Gubernatorial Candidate Mike Mazzei x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@OklahomaDOGE @dan26514 @JonEchols @JeffStarlingOK Yes, he was not interested and I think its partly because I asked him about his commitment to fighting white collar crime. He's not interested in that. He is very focused on drugs... low hanging fruit... while the Jepettos pulling the strings get off scott free...

@dan26514 @JonEchols For starters @JeffStarlingOK doesn’t return calls from grassroots. @ROPEreport tried to have Jeff on their show. Jeff’s father in law Larry Nichols is bankrolling the campaign is the rumor. Jeff has yet to try a case in Oklahoma as his work was in VA

The choice is clear. @JonEchols is the one for the job

TOMORROW MORNING at 9am! SPECIAL DATE AND TIME! Tune in RIGHT HERE! @CatherineAnne42 @KnoxieLuv @ELBrightside61 @CherylW57685574 @DeeDobson139512 @IiDorn87536 @MicMeowed @cc_moms @V1Sut
