Resolution No. 23 honors the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, cofounder and CEO of Turning Point USA. It highlights his deep faith and commitment to Jesus Christ, as well as his dedication to empowering young people to think critically and lead with courage. Kirk's willingness to engage in respectful dialogue on college campuses, often in challenging environments for conservatives, is noted as a testament to his conviction and leadership. His impact on those he served is recognized as lasting and inspirational.
The resolution also emphasizes the importance of reaffirming the unalienable rights endowed by the Creator, particularly the right to life, as the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It calls on Oklahomans to reject political violence and to honor the dignity of every individual, regardless of their background. Ultimately, the Oklahoma State Senate expresses its commitment to the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, while celebrating Kirk's contributions to American youth and society.
