Let the Light
Let your light move into hospitals, and nursing homes, and orphanages and prisons. Mental hospitals and other institutions of despair…Let the beautiful light that comes from your heart move into the Capitol and government buildings bringing enlightenment and the message of truth.
-Louise Hay, 1926-2017
Representatives from the following organizations were at the Capitol on Tuesday to fight the Governor’s unilateral decision to impose on our poorest and most vulnerable citizens privatized managed care. You can help us fight by contacting your Oklahoma State Senator and asking him or her to vote yes on SB131. Please call them today. Call them every day until this bill is heard and passed. Even better, schedule a visit to see them. If you need help, contact us.
These are some of the people fighting to prevent $2 billion — nearly 25 percent of the State’s budget — from being bequeathed to out-of-state insurance companies under the guise of improving healthcare. In reality, these companies will deny care in order to make a profit.

Let your light move into hospitals, and nursing homes, and orphanages and prisons. Mental hospitals and other institutions of despair. Let it bring hope, and enlightenment and peace. Let it move into every home in the city in which you live. Where there is pain and suffering let your love and light and healing energy bring comfort to those in need. Let the beautiful light that comes from your heart move into the Capitol and government buildings bringing enlightenment and the message of truth.
