Good luck.

That's funny -- our name is Kilpatrick.

Most of the roads around Harrah were dirt when we lived there. I love dirt roads. We only have one little stretch of dirt road here in our whole county, about five miles in the Delaware National Recreation Area.

I would be interested in suggestions for areas of Oklahoma where you think there is strong support for smaller government, Second Amendment, property rights, sanctity of life, and the original Constitution, and where it might stay that way for a while.

I lived in Harrah, Oklahoma from 1979-1981, and found it a very relaxed friendly place. We live in the country and would be looking for enough property that my husband could have a little shooting range and no one would hear our barking dogs because we have a breed that tends to be barky. My husband is a potter, and we currently sell from our home studio and at local shows. Any suggestions of areas to look into would be appreciated.

I live in Tahlequah, and I don't find it any different than what you are talking about. You would probably have to move out of State, and you would have to pick a State that mostly went for Obama. I had a lot of problems dealing with the republicans and their Obama comments here. But at least I found a group of democrats and independents that are my friends, and I just ignore the rest.
