Its been reported that Wayne Shaw, the 2012 GOP candidate for Oklahoma senate district 3, does not know what the 10th amendment is, according to Qadoshyah Fish.   Shaw was a no show at the candidate forum in Tahlequah, Oklahoma for Oct 9,2012.   He is running against democrat Jim Bynum for this seat.  Jim Wilson (democrat) is not running for reelection.

Its agreed that Jim Bynum political signs have flooded the area & that there was no Shaw activity on the ground. Therefore, it’s a safe bet that Bynum is favored to win this election.

Ms. Fish, said that when Shaw spoke in her area, he responded that he did not know what the 10th amendment was; and further indicated that its a mystery as to how he beat out Cyndi McArtor in GOP primary, who was said to be much more articulate & knowledgeable of the issues.

The general election is November 2012. Oklahoma senate district 2 includes Tahlequah & Stillwell Oklahoma.
