prayers for Tom Coburn (R-OK)

Fellow Conservatives: We have some very sad news to report. U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) has announced that he will resign from the Senate this year. Dr. Coburn is battling a serious recurrence of cancer. This is a big loss for Oklahoma and the country. Dr. Coburn has been a tireless fighter against wasteful Washington spending. No senator has done more to research and expose our government's gross abuse of American taxpayers. He is a true citizen legislator and we need more like him in Washington. Please take a moment to read Jim DeMint's statement about the courage, tenacity, and dedication of Tom Coburn. SPECIAL ELECTION Governor Mary Falin (R-OK) has announced that a special election will occur this year to fill the vacant seat. The Republican primary election will occur on June 24, 2014 and the general election will occur on November 4, 2014. We must do everything we can to elect a true conservative in Oklahoma who will fight for our principles.  It's not clear yet which candidates will run for the seat, but we hope U.S. Representative Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) will consider it. SCF endorsed Bridenstine last year as a candidate for the U.S. House because of his outstanding record. We wanted to protect him from the Republican establishment, which was upset with him for voting against John Boehner (R-OH) for Speaker, and to elevate his profile so he could run for the Senate someday. How great would it be if he ran now? We will keep you updated as we learn more about this critical U.S. Senate race. Oklahoma is a conservative stronghold and we must help elect someone who has Dr. Coburn's courage and who will fight for our principles.
