Devon PAC Gives $5,000 to Lankford
The political action committee for Devon Energy, the oil and gas company based in Oklahoma City, gave $5,000 to Republican congressional candidate James Lankford on Friday, according to a report filed yesterday by Lankford’s campaign.
Reports filed with the Federal Election Commission showed Lankford continued to outpace Kevin Calvey in fundraising in the days leading up to Tuesday’s GOP runoff for the 5th District congressional seat.
On Sunday, Lankford reported $12,000 in donations. That’s nearly $87,000 that he’s reported in contributions over $1,000 since Thursday.
Calvey reported two contributions of $2,400 each on Sunday. He has reported $20,400 in donations of $1,000 or more since Thursday.
Lankford’s edge has been helped partly by special interest money moving his way in the last few days _ PACs for bankers, energy companies, contractors and physicians have donated to his campaign.
But Club for Growth, the Washington-based group that advocates for limited government, has spent nearly $149,000 for Calvey, who already had a major financial advantage going into the runoff campaign stretch.

I just sold ALL of my DEVON shares , Devon is nuts for supporting a bigoted bible thumper like Skankford
chuckle. obviously hinn never met Langford or heard him speak. Langford actually has good sense of humour and good sense of self. Not “in love with himself” like Calvey. Doesn’t lie like Calvey.
However, I would agree with Hinn–we need more career politicians like Calvey. what is this, his 7th race? The career politicians have done a wonderful job for this State and this country, why stop now?
Well really, is anyone surprised that Lankford waited until the end of the campaign to accept his special interest money? After all he’s supposed to be so much better than his “career politician” opponent. How would it look? So what’s the diffence between a career politician and someone who wants to be a career politician? Looks like some special interest money and some votes.
yeah. love the “special interest” money from doctors and dentists. oh wait. they are medical professionals. maybe they think that an outsider might really do something about the mess we are in in the medical and insurance fields. This is MUCH worse than accepting money from PAC’s that reward their “rent a vote” politicians, like our career politico Calvey, for this election and the past 6.
we need more career politicians!!! they do so much for themselves, ooops, i mean their state and country.
Regardless of candidate, I would hope he/she would support the following:
Obama, his media handlers, and political cronies have got to be stopped and this merciless thievery of the middle class has to be eliminated. Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the rest of those slimy parasites have to be taken out of office and every cent they’ve stolen from the American people through this legislative travesty needs to be taken from them. The American people should also demand punitive damages from Congress and White House staff in the exact amount of every asset every one of them has. The money should be collected and put into our treasury to pay off our national debt, then an injunction to freeze enactment of this “health care” legislation, repeal it, and put those responsible in prison for the remainder of their days. Let them ALL live in an 8’x10’ cell with a black and white tv and 1 hour a day of exercise…alone. Then we can get back to the rebuilding of America as it once was.
No more apologizing, bowing and scraping, or welfare to those countries who hate us. We need to reinstate the draft, and give welfare leaches 6 mos. to get a job then completely cut off their benefits. No more federally subsidized $1.00 a month telephone service or any other unnecessary freebees. The states can do what they want to help or enable their own. We need to reinstall defensive sites with our world allies, and announce to the world what an accident the last year and half was, and take heed that the United States of America is back in business. Iran, we’re coming for you first. You have 24 hours notice to account for your nuclear weapons and begin handing em over. Al Queda, one more incident, regardless of how minor or remote, and every suspected stronghold and training camp we know of that supports you or your benefactors is toast. The nation of Islam has declared itself an enemy of the state. We can accommodate you too. You are not welcome in New York or anywhere in the U.S. You have proven to be not a religion but an expansive terrorist organization and will be treated as such. You can meet in basements, coffee shops, or wherever you want and we will not hurt you. You will not, however, be allowed to rent, own, or inherit any mosque or “cultural center” that represents your evil organization. You are an enemy of the state. Anyone stopped for any crimes or suspicion of any crime will have their citizenship verified. If you don’t belong here, bye, bye. Every citizen, naturalized or born here will serve two years in the service of his country. Appeals against ordinances barring baggy pants will not be entertained in higher courts. Gay marriage will no longer be an issue; marriage was defined for us centuries ago and that has not changed. Legal partnerships for those who insist on their perversions can be legally sanctioned as would any contract. Finally, a panel of legal experts with proven personal histories of supporting America shall be formed to review every legal aspect of our Constitution and legislation resulting from A.C.L.U. involvement over the past thirty years. Any laws or amendments, state or federal, even remotely related to special interest demands shall be scrutinized, and if necessary, corrected by legal amendment so that our republic can function as it once was intended.
And so on…
