Summary: The text argues that sending the same people to Washington will not change the current state of affairs. The author believes that instead, Oklahoma should send a citizen legislator who will take the state's shared values to Washington. These values include honoring the Constitution, respecting families, and being fiscally responsible. The author argues that the government needs to stop spending more than it has and realize that raising taxes will hurt the economy. The author believes that the best way to change the status quo in Washington is to get the government out of the way and allow the private sector to create more jobs.
