Istook Conducts 11-County Tour, Hits Henry On Benefits For Illegals

Congressman Ernest Istook completed a 3-day, 11-county tour last week, emphasizing at every stop his support for the repeal of Governor Brad Henry's "policies that give special taxpayer funded benefits like in-state tuition and college grants to illegal immigrants." Istook said that as governor, he would make English the official language. Istook prefaced his tour by joining House Speaker Todd Hiett, GOP nominee for lieutenant governor, and Senator Mike Schulz, in Altus on Thursday. Istook said he'll hit all 77 counties in the course of the campaign. Istook hit Boise City, Guymon, Beaver (lunch at the Cactus Grill), Buffalo, Gage, Shattuck and Weatherford on Friday; they attended the Weatherford-Clinton high schools football game Friday night. Saturday, he and wife Judy moved on to Hinton and Yukon (Sid's Diner, Bad Brad's) and ended up in Norman for the University of Oklahoma football game; they are pictured here surrounded by volunteers just before the game.
