A November 21st Oklahoma City fundraising event represents the start of the assimilation process that, for most new lawmakers, will prove "resistance is futile."
Very well put, and an apt description of the condition that all new (and old) politicians go through. "Assimilation" is a great word because that's how I'm sure the newbies feel - they are simply getting to know everyone, and be "a part of the gang," when they are suddenly swept up into a corrupt world that once after being bought, is excruciatingly hard to extract oneself from. It's heart-breaking and demoralizing for the grassroots who have worked so hard to elect the candidate, only to have them immediately be swept up into the atmosphere of what looks to be camaraderie and welcomeness. Come to find out when the laws are proposed and the votes are casted, they payday comes and there's nothing the bought-and-sold candidate can do. And the grassroots with broken hearts watch their candidates race down the river of immorality and greed.

Thank you Jason. I was wondering what you were going to use this for and I love it. Thank you again for your previous service and now this direction!
