Because we have an appreciation for the process of government.
Because we believe in the power of well-informed voters. And, because we share with every other Oklahoman, the responsibility to keep elected officials informed about the issues that protect the quality of our lives - and the lives of our children.
Because the key to protecting this quality and our individual rights is first to become informed about issues and pending legislation that can change how we work, how we live, and how we raise our families. Second we need the tools to help us understand legislation, the legislative process and its potential affect on our lives. And finally, we need to get to know the people who can make a difference in the outcome of good legislation (and bad) - the men and women we elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the State Senate.
Because Democracy is a dialogue. Democracy must be a conversation that includes politicians, interest groups, political parties, lobbyists, pollsters, contributors, but most importantly, the general public - specifically voters.
Because iCapitol.net provides the news and information to open the most important and most powerful channel of communication at the state capitol - the conversation between voters and legislators.
