OK: A Profile of the Oklahoma Pirate Party

Oklahoma Citizen profiles the newly organized Pirate Party of Oklahoma:

I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the Pirate Party of Oklahoma to everybody.
The Pirate Party is a movement that started in Europe as a response to increased monitoring of internet activity by the government, loss of privacy in all aspects of life, a lack of accountability of the Governments, and the concerns of misuse of copyright laws. The Pirates are concerned about wiretaps without warrants, reading and storing emails without court orders, increased video monitoring of our every move, and being treated like potential criminals or terrorist for common activities like flying or photography. We worry about our government entering into secret treaties with other nations with such efforts as ACTA. Our government increasingly cites "national security" as a reason for not being accountable to its citizens. We look forward to being a part of Oklahoma politics and being able to provide content here that affects all Oklahomans. We also want to invite everyone to check us out on our website.
