Oklahoma Veterans Discuss Oath to Constitution at Town Hall Meeting
Oklahoma City, OK — A recent town hall meeting in Oklahoma City sparked vital discussions among veterans regarding their oaths to the Constitution amid ongoing concerns over executive authority in the U.S. government. Organized by Navy veteran James Neal of the group "Not on My Watch," the evening focused on what it truly means for veterans to uphold their commitment during these turbulent times.
Neal emphasized a growing frustration among veterans regarding perceived executive overreach, particularly the “ruling by executive order,” which has escalated in recent administrations. "We as veterans and citizens have been asleep at the switch in maintaining our Constitution and its integrity," Neal stated, highlighting issues such as the suspension of due process that has arisen under various presidents.
State Senator Kelly Hines, also a military veteran, acknowledged the complexities surrounding executive orders yet defended the actions of current and past presidents, asserting they have aimed to safeguard veterans’ interests. "I have not seen this president or even President Biden trying to do our veterans harm," Hines remarked, reinforcing the loyalty veterans have toward the commander in chief.
Both Neal and Hines, who took oaths to defend the Constitution during their military service, stress the importance of distinguishing allegiance to the Constitution over any individual in office. Neal plans to continue fostering these crucial conversations, with upcoming town halls scheduled in Tulsa and Wichita.
As citizens and veterans unite to reflect on the constitutional values they pledged to uphold, the dialogue continues to emphasize the necessity of accountability within the executive branch, ensuring the integrity of democracy remains at the forefront.
