A quick update

Last Sunday I wrote about the activists who staged a campaign outside the Chase Tower in Oklahoma City. Their hope was to convince Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn to lift his hold on Senate Bill 1067. After camping outside the building for 11 days, the group got word on Tuesday that Coburn had lifted his hold. Activists changed their signs to read “Dr. Coburn just said yes,” and celebrated outside the building where Sen. Coburn has offices in Oklahoma City.
