It is with heavy hearts that we inform you that we lost a beloved warrior, Oklahoma’s own Dr. Jim Meehan has passed. We want to encourage you to send a gift to help his wife Cathy and their 5 children.
Dr. Meehan was one of the only doctors that stood by all the moms in the medical freedom world. He didn’t care what you called him, or had to say….He took an oath to first do no harm and he stood by it. He single handedly fought the medical mafia and we know for a fact that Oklahoma is better for it.
He loved to speak truth & besides being brilliant, he was also a beautiful writer. Below you will find his last speech that Liza Greve read for him at a recent rally at the State Capitol. We will miss him! We ask you to join us to carry on this work and be brave just like he was!
From the family of Jim Meehan MD
Jim Meehan was a righteous man. Not because he always got it right or he never got it wrong. He was a righteous man because every time he fell, he rose again and did his best to make things right.
”for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…” Proverbs 24:16 NIV
Yes, we are grieving, but we are also grateful for the man he was, the life he lived, and the battles he fought for us and so many others.
Yes, cancer sucks, but God is good and the evidence of His kindness and faithfulness to us has been overwhelming.
Yes, there was more Jim wanted to accomplish before he left the earth, but the culmination of his greatest work, a family that loves each other and sticks together no matter what, was right there with him on his last day.
Because of that, we can say with confidence that Jim Meehan “fought the good fight… finished the race… kept the faith.“ 2 Timothy 4:7 NIV
He was a righteous man, a beloved husband of 34 years, a remarkable dad to 5 children and the ultimate G’pa to 7 beautiful grandchildren. We will be celebrating his life at 6:30pm on Friday, June 28th at Life.Church South Tulsa and we would love for you to join us.
Bixby, Oklahoma 74008
If you would like to send/share a memory for the celebration of life service, please send photos and/or messages to Tori@MeehanMD.com. If you would prefer mailing, please send to 7134 South Yale Ave Suite 430 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74136.
Oklahoma will no longer enforce mandates or recommendations from the World Health Organization under a new bill signed into law by Gov. Kevin Stitt.
The bill prohibits the state from enforcing guidelines from the WHO, and also applies guidelines from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum.

Subject Line: No on SB 520 (If you are a constituent of one of these senators, please add FROM YOUR CONSTITUENT to the subject line of his or her email.)
Dear Senators,
I am writing to ask that you please vote no on SB 520.
We elected Ryan Walters in a primary, a primary runoff and a general election and now Sen. Adam Pugh wants to strip the ability to grant accreditation from Ryan Walters and the Board of Education. We are asking for the following senators to vote no. Without accreditation, there will be no teeth to hold schools accountable to support parental rights.
Thank you

SB 658 is an important medical choice bill for parents. it went into effect July 1st of 2021. This bill provides many protections which are detailed here, but perhaps the biggest change is that schools are now required to inform parents that vaccine exemptions are an option!
Since July 2021, OKHPR has continued to demand that all Oklahoma school districts follow this law. According to SB 658, the Oklahoma State Department of Education is supposed to ensure that EVERY school district is following this portion of the law. Thanks to our new State Superintendent, Ryan Walters, the State Department of Education is working hard to do so.
In a recent edition of The Roar Release, we shared the names of many schools in Oklahoma that are violating state law, SB 658. After sharing that list we were able to remove a few schools that updated their website and social media due to your amazing advocacy! Unfortunately, we also received more reports of violations and have added several more schools to our list.
Is your school following the law? Click the button below to find out!
You can help us compile a more exact list by checking your local school district’s website. Click on the enrollment section and see if your school is including the required language when mentioning vaccination requirements. You can also check their social media. It is required by law that EVERY notice about vaccination requirements has the quoted language! This includes social media posts or email notices.
If your school is not following the law, please report that to us HERE so we can update our list! You can also print a sample letter explaining how the school has violated SB 658 from your membership dashboard. We recommend mailing this letter to the school, superintendent, or school board. You should also alert your State Senator and State Representative.
We need your help to make sure that this important section of state law is followed. This week we want to focus our efforts on the Oklahoma State School Board. The State Department of Education is responsible for ensuring that this law is followed by all school districts, so we must make sure they are aware! We have included sample email and phone scripts as well as contact information to make this as easy as possible!
Sample email:
“To whom it may concern,
I am emailing because I am a resident of _______ school district. I noticed that the school is in violation of SB 658. This law went into effect on July 2021 and it states that Schools and universities must notify parents and students that they may opt-out of vaccination mandates using legally allowed exemptions on their website and in all notices regarding vaccine requirements. The law also states that it is the State Department of Education’s job to ensure that school districts are following SB 658.
Please let me know what is being done to bring the school district into compliance with the law.
Name
Address”
2. Second, please contact State Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters at 405-521-3301. You may use the following phone script.
“Hi I am calling because I am a resident of _______ school district. I noticed that they are in violation of SB 658 because they are not informing parents about vaccine exemptions on their website or in a notice sent out on (date). I wanted to contact your office to ensure that this is addressed.”
Resources related to vaccine law can be found on the resources page of our website. Here you will find the Oklahoma vaccine exemption form (which is used for school or daycare entry), read vaccine law, and read our vaccine exemption FAQ which includes information on what facilities are required to accept a vaccine exemption, how to fill out the form, what to do if your exemption is denied, and how to report a school that is violating the law.

Oklahoma’s Largest Health & Parental Rights Group Weighs in on Upcoming Senate Pro Tempore Election To Decide The Second Most Powerful Official in the State
For Immediate Release
January 29, 2024
On February 12, 2024 Oklahoma’s Republican Senate members will select a Pro Tempore designate to lead the Senate. We have grave concerns about one of the candidates, Senator Greg McCortney and his cumulative F-rating. How could a Republican get an F-rating on issues of personal freedom? Legislators get graded down for not hearing bills if they are Chairmen, for voting incorrectly, as well as authoring bills that have a negative impact on health and parental rights. Here are some of his actions:
2018-Voted to remove the personal and religious exemptions for school children (SB1123 and SB83).
2020-Authored bill to track vaccine data of children (SB925) & force businesses to advertise vaccines (SB924)
2019-Supported forcing parents to take a re-education class if they opt out of even one single vaccine (Rule by Oklahoma State Department of Health)
2020-Voted No to prevent state government vaccine mandates (HB 2335).
2022-Stopped a bill to allow health workers and those in workforce to have the choice whether or not to take the Covid vaccine OR keep their job. (SB765).
McCortney has consistently proven to be a proponent of big government and favoring big industries over individuals. Ask your Republican State Senator NOT to support Greg McCortney for Senate Pro Tempore designate on February 12, 2024. With our federal government and national security in turmoil, Oklahoma cannot afford to have leaders who will not protect individual rights. As a voter, you have a right to be involved in asking questions about this vote process as you elect your senator to not just vote how they say they will on the campaign trail, but to be part of the solution, as well. We know the solution to many of our problems is simply poor leadership.
So far there are two others running against McCortney: David Bullard who has an A+, and Casey Murdock who has an A rating. I encourage our over 20,000 official members statewide to politely inform your state senator of this record and if your state senator agrees with McCortney then it may be time to assess their record as well.
For more information and assistance with finding your state senator, text 405-251-8915.

Did The Oklahoma State Department of Health hide the exemption form and purposely make it harder to fill out since exemption rates are increasing? OKHPR worked with the Governor and Health Department’s Chief of Staff to get it fixed!
The Oklahoma vaccine exemption process has changed again, this time FOR GOOD!
A few weeks ago OKHPR was made aware that the former link to find vaccine exemptions on the State Department of Health website was now gone. We made sure a copy was available on our website and then got to work to find out what was going on.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) made a number of changes to the vaccine exemption form. The biggest change was that instead of a parent turning in the exemption form into their school and then the school sending this form to the State Department of Health, parents were being told to send this form themselves to the State Department of Health who will then send it to the schools after it had been approved or denied.
This was creating obstacles for parents to turn in their exemption form and a backlog of exemptions at the Immunization Department.
OKHPR was able to make several changes to the exemption process:
Check out the newly updated exemption form here!
