Cracking Down on Crime

Much talk has circled over the past year around the state capitol on what to do with gang violence. There have been talks of setting up local steering committees to work with police to help bring down gang involvement in local areas. We want to know what you think! How should Oklahoma attempt to bring down crime? What steps and measures would you take to keep our streets safe? Let us know today by submitting your idea at www.100ideasok.org/submitidea.aspx.

The Oklahoma City Diet

You may have heard recently of Oklahoma City's new diet. Mick Cornett, mayor of Oklahoma City, wants the city to lose 1 million pounds in 2008. We want to know what you think? Do you like these kinds of initiatives and think they put a city on the right track, or do you think it's a waste of money as the government shouldn't be telling us what to do? Please stop by and leave your ideas on city initiatives today!

Fire Safety in Oklahoma

Every year we are reminded that we live in a state with some of the most volatile weather in the country. Inevitably there will be times, like last year, that we have 21 straight days of rain. Still other times we'll go a month without seeing any precipitation and the entire state will be in a fire watch.


One idea, aimed at reducing fire danger, is being proposed by a state lawmaker. The legislation he has proposed would call for cigarette paper that burns out easily to be for every cigarette sold in Oklahoma. We want to know what you think of this idea and others that would affect public safety.

What's your agenda?

As we enter 2008, we are reminded all that Oklahoma accomplished in 2007. We at 100 Ideas believe that one of the greatest things accomplished in our centennial year was the creation of a blueprint, for Oklahoma, by Oklahomans.


Right now, Democrats and Republicans are forming their gameplans for the upcoming legislative session. We want to know what you think should be on it? What legislaton or policies to you want to see changed? Let us know by submitting your ideas at http://www.100ideasok.org/.

Happy New Year!

We at 100 Ideas would like to wish you a Happy New Year!


As many of you know, the most pressing issue of 2008 will be the election cycle. In keeping with tradition, the Iowa caucuses, the first time either party's delegates were decided from any state, were held yesterday. We would like to know what your ideas are concerning the primary season. Would you like Oklahoma to become an early state, or do you think we should stay a "Super Tuesday" state? Please send us your ideas on election reform today!
