	Representative Bill Graves
		Oklahoma Representative Bill Graves, Republican, from Oklahoma City is, in the opinion of this writer, Oklahoma's answer to the Taliban's Mullah Omar in that he appears to believe that governance is conducted by devine right and that all law should be derived from "religious law".
		Graves was first a member of the Oklahoma House from 1978 to 1986 and then again from 1989 to the present.
		Graves consistently strives to "out conservative" practically all of his brothers in politics and in the Oklahoma Legislature this is not an easy task.

		Bill's daughter, Daisy Dame, provides the majority of the guitar accompaniment (which, like most good Ozark backup playing, is simple and unobtrusive) and joins her father in close harmony vocals on several songs.
		Bill's wife Doris performs one dulcimer solo, an instrumental version of Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, in which she demonstrates two different approaches to strumming - one employing a simple, sedate single-stroke technique (which Bill also uses occasionally) and the other the back-and-forth strumming technique more commonly associated with the playing of dance tunes.
		The liner notes characterize Bill's fiddle playing as "archaic," which is an appropriate enough adjective to describe a style which has little of the refinement and notey-ness associated with fiddle playing from central and northern Missouri but plenty of the drones, backbeat, and strong accentuation reflective of the older styles of the Ozarks.

	New ATA President Bill Graves Aims To Steer A Steady Course
		Graves may not be a trucking expert — he says his first priority is to get on top of complex industry issues — but he is comfortable with this sort of political challenge.
		As Graves puts it, there has been some uncertainty, "an unsettled feeling." His aim is to build on the work begun by his immediate predecessor, Billy Canary, who tried to refurbish relations with state trucking associations that had been damaged during the period of restructuring.
		Graves also intends to repair relations with ATA conferences that were damaged during the restructuring process, a process begun during Canary's tenure with the reaffiliation of the Truckload Carriers Assn. "Either strengthening an affiliation or actually getting an affiliation agreement is in and of itself a good positive thing for us," Graves said.

		This bill prevents the intentional killing of human beings who happen to be living in a womb, but who would be capable of living outside the womb.
		Something else this bill does, which has not been talked about as much as the abortion restrictions, is that it also prevents the intentional killing of human beings who are chronically or terminally ill. These people need love, support, and competent medical treatment to ease their pain.
		Graves has taken away a campaign issue for Miller, but I think Graves compromised his position on the issue of abortion that he was elected on.

	National Review: Miller's crossing - Republican infighting in Kansas between David Miller and Governor Bill Graves
		Graves soon locked horns with his party's leaders over taxes: in 1995 he fought to retain car levies; in 1996 he blocked a Republican bill to phase out state property taxes.
		"Graves got off to a solid start," wrote Stephen Moore and Dean Stansel of the Cato Institute, "but he now seems to be a guardian of the status quo and an enemy of growth-oriented reform." They ranked him 14th among the 16 class-of-'94 Republicans in Cato's Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors in 1996.
		Gov. Graves and his allies had crafted their campaign-finance bill as a tool for purging their political enemies within the party.
