State Question 790, Ten Commandments
and the Blaine Amendment
State Question 790 calls for the
removal of Article II Section V of
the Oklahoma Constitution This
section, often referred U> as the
Blame Amendment, reads. No
public money or property shall ever
he appropriated applied, donated,
if used, directly or indim tlv, for
the use benefit, or sufiport of any

On June JO. 2015 the Oklahoma
Supreme Court ruled 7 2 to remove
the Ten Commandments monument
from the Capitol grounds This rub
tng took many Oklahomans b> sur-
prise because the I S Courts ot
Appeal in the 10th. 9th Hth and Vh
districts as well as the US Supreme
jCourt had ruled in favor of len
Commandment monuments on
public grounds
Proponents of SQ 'K*1 arc on
cemed thai our Supreme Court s
ruling could aftect Oklahoma
healthcare and religious liberty
Many Oklahomans especially our
senior citizens and children,
receive healthcare via Medicare
Medicaid, or Sooner! are Public
monies fund these programs, and
marry Oklahomans receive health
t care at religiously affiliated hospi
tals and clinics such as St John or
St Francis Proponents argue that
the courts, by citing Article II
Section V. could rule to deny access
to healthcare at institutions such as
St Franc is and St John The state
also has many existing relation
ships with faith-based programs
that provide services such as fos
ter care Proponents heltese
ensuring our most vulnerable cit-
izens. our children, and our eld
erly have the assistance and care
they need is not a negotiable
topic Hiose in tav or of SQ790
contend that (his ruling is hostile
to religion and religious liberty
as other courts have upheld the
display of the Ten
Commandments on public
grounds
If SQ790 is to pass, the
Establishment Clause in the First
Amendment of the I’nited States
Constitution would still be in
effect "Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof, or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press
or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble, and to petition the
government for a redress of grtev
aiv.es "
Opponents of ?9t) fear that Us
passage would open the stale to
expensive lawsuits for which the
taxpayers would have to pav Oliver
arguments against 790 irx lude the
possibilities of public monies being
spent spec ifically tor religious pur
poses as well as to
parochial/religious schools If 790
were to pass, othet religious monu
menu could appear on Capitol
grounds Although the Oklahoma
Capitol Preservation Commission
has a list of criteria such monu
menu should meet helorc being
displayed on the Capitol grounds.’
the passage of 790 would require
the IX’PC to not exclude petitions
for monuments of non C hristian
faiths Already. Satanic and Hindu
groups hase expressed interest tn
having a monument at the Capitol
Ihere are also two Supreme
Court Justices who will appear on
your ballot With regard to SQ790,
Justice James Winchester voted to
remove the Ten Commandments j
trom the Capitol grounds and Nice
Chief Justice David Combs voted!
to keep them there
Whciher you are voting YES or
NO on SQ790, just go vote'
