I just think that these would be the most convincing points for someone who is on the fence regarding how they'll vote on MAPS 3.

I just think that these would be the most convincing points for someone who is on the fence regarding how they'll vote on MAPS 3. Excellent reasons and viewpoints. Now if all the "Yes" voters commit to voting on Dec 8then perhaps there will be victory.

Well I know that if Oklahoma was a bluer state that we'd see more comparisons between MAPS and the Stimulus. The funny thing is in my opinion MAPS is extremely successful, while the Stimulus is just going to be a huge failure.. so you can still draw comparisons there, just do it creatively.

It's still unfortunate that people are always trying to frame politics in a divisive, national context..

I cannot vote, but as a native Oklahoman, I really am hoping for a victory on this issue. I can envison a huge surge in development and growth occurring with passage of this initiative. Great points all on why citizens living in OKC should vote yes. I am visiting my Mother later this month in Lawton and it would make my day to come home with passage of this landmark opportunity

Same here.. unfortunately as ex-pats we really can't help except with perhaps spreading information to those who we do know in OKC..

Yes it is.
Thanks for a glowing example.
