Dear Friend, The question that I and the OK Policy staff probably get asked the most is, "How do you keep going?". Knowing that we operate in a tough climate, where the values we believe and fight for end up on the losing end of the vote most often at the State Capitol, people wonder how we're able to persevere and not get overwhelmed by disappointment and despair. My honest answer is that what keeps us going is the support and encouragement we receive from you and so many other Oklahomans. Day after day, when we run into good friends, casual acquaintances, and sometimes complete strangers, we hear how much you rely on Oklahoma Policy Institute to get the facts and to stay informed about what's really happending in Oklahoma. "I don't know what we'd do without you." "You guys make the best charts!" "I read In the Know every morning --- okay, most mornings." "Thanks to you, I've become a more informed citizen and engaged advocate." The kind words and sincere appreciation are what keeps us going - but kind words don't pay the bills. If you're someone who values the work we do, I hope you'll take this opportunity to show us your love with a tax-deductible contribution of $25, $50, $100 or whatever amount you can afford. Your generous gift will allow us to continue to crunch the numbers, write the fact sheets, and organize the events that are making the difference in informing citizens and persuading policymakers. 
Thank you for your support, and all the best in the new year! David | Oklahoma Policy Institute
