 Newsletter August 16, 2011 http://soonerteaparty.org  Meet Dan Sullivan Sullivan is the Floor Leader at the Oklahoma House of Representatives, a post that gives him enormous power over bills, indeed he can kill a bill just by not allowing it to be placed on the agenda. Sullivan has ser ved almost six terms, with his last legislative session ending in 2012, and term limits prevent him fro m running for state o ffice again. So why are we singling out Sullivan? Sullivan wasn't one of the original 12 Transvestite Repub licans, so named for their votes for HR 1397 in the 2011 legislative session but he is an integral part of House L eadership that pushed HR 1397 forward. Their goal was to allow transvestites to change their birth certificates after a sex change operation, giving no notice that Ann was born an And y. Sullivan claims to be a devout Christian, attends a big Baptist church in Tulsa, indeed he was called out during services and lit erally anointed with oil by his pastor after Sullivan’s affair came to light, after he divorced his childhood sweetheart wife of two decades. The pastor proclaimed Sullivan a “Godly man”. If I were to guess, I'd say Sullivan's part in this was to make sure HR 1397 made it to the House floor and to vote for it but when the transvestite birth certificate portion was exposed, Sullivan panicked and voted against the bill. Sullivan later voted yes on the bill so he is on record supporting this issue. Why then would Sullivan support changes to the birth records of transvestites? Because the S tate Chamber of Co mmerce wanted it done so that companies on the East and West coast would think Oklahoma less

 “backward” and would move their workers here. In short they want to whipthe redneck and religion out of us and turn us into a “tolerant” and

 “progressive” people.  I don’t know about you but as a lifelong Oklahomaresident, Oklahoma citizens have always been a pretty tolerant bunch, we just don’t want things rubbed in our face. 

Sullivan also lead the fight to defeat the Charles Key amendment to HR1008, the opening day vote that allowed almost all of our bills to be killed incommittee without a vote. Sullivan also headed the GOP forces that “whipped” or punished Republicans that wanted to sign the HR 1004

Discharge Petition. Sullivan voted four times for the Obama Care/Fallin CareHealth Insurance Exchanges, long after the state voted overwhelmingly toreject Obama Care in the November 2010 election. With Sullivan lobbyingfor a GRDA executive position after he is term limited out, Sullivan is votingshamelessly to support big business and the State Chamber of Commerceagenda.

As I mentioned in February and again in our last newsletter, Sullivan hasbeen the subject of a six month investigation by Tea Party activists. Theman has many, many, enemies after 11 years of legislative work. Rumorsof his corruption and low morals began flowing in as far back as 2010 duringhis efforts to kill the Open Carry legislation.

As we began asking around for leads on Sullivan’s misdeeds, anonymousletters arrived filled with court records, medical records, insurance records,

and divorce records. I found one packet sitting on my car one night afterwork, a thick folder packed with personal information onSullivan. Some letters obviously came from a former employer; othersmight have come from an insurance agency, judged by the content.

From reading the divorce file at the Tulsa County Courthouse where Sullivancomplained that someone had sent his tax records to a former employer andto his pastor, the list of motivated people sending documents is a longone. We even had Tulsa allies do some dumpster diving for us, targetingboth Sullivan and his ex-wife’s trash cans. As we stitched together whowere friends and family and who was on what side, other activists filled ingaps in our knowledge via Facebook conversations, email, and theoccasional phone call to Sullivan’s acquaintances. 

Earlier this year I began talking to Sullivan’s ex-wife who provideddocumentation not on Sullivan but on a realtor that had been involved in atransaction that included the forging of the first page of a six page documentset, after the ex-wife had signed the last page! The Oklahoma Real Estate

Commission accepted a complaint against the realtor but did little in the wayof either investigating or listening to the facts. To me it is pretty simple;you have two copies of the first page of a six page document set, bothdifferent. Was it the realtor that did the forgery? Was it Sullivan’s

attorney? We will never know if a real investigation doesn’t put the pressure

on both till one of them cracks.

The numreous allegations against Representative Sullivan run the gamutfrom insurance fraud, forgery of loan applications, forgery of real estatedocuments, embezzlement of marital assets while the same assets werefrozen by court order, paying for his mistress using pretax dollars,delinquent property taxes, pressuring Tulsa police officials to remove an off duty police officer serving as a body guard for the ex-wife (that one is quitetroubling), and receiving sweetheart loans from a major bank.

After reviewing the divorce file at the Tulsa County Courthouse, reviewingphotographs of many of the documents from that file, one could make thecase that Sullivan has used his position as a legislator to attempt to beat his

ex-wife into the ground. One source opined that of all the allegations, thediscovery of the embezzlement of marital assets while those assets werefrozen by court order is what tipped Representative Sullivan over theedge. Since 2005 Representative Sullivan went from making almost$600,000.00 per year to a quarter of that, even far less in one

year. Stitching together Representative Sullivan’s obligations and expensesfrom his Tulsa Home, his Waterford Condo in Oklahoma City, membershipcosts from his Tulsa Petroleum Club from public divorce file information andanonymously supplied tax records shows that Sullivan was in deep financialproblems. I believe that it is likely that Representative Sullivan decided tobeat his ex-wife into the ground to prevent her from coming forward withevidence of his misdeeds. Knowing there is always two sides to astory however we will continue to watch until the current investigation iscompleted by authorities.

Would you believe that he filed 34 contempt charges against his ex-wifeafter the divorce? One was for her refusing to co sign on a loan on theirOklahoma City condo. And the kicker? This was after their divorce wasfinal! Another was because someone posted a message on his face bookpage! Another was over an old pocket knife that he had lost. One wasover some broken cups in their storage building! Sullivan asked the court

for six months jail time for some of the contempt charges and massive fineson others. Yes, divorces are sometimes caused by both parties, and yesthey do get vicious at times but this poor lady’s motions get f iled and notheard while her ex-husband seems to be able to tell the judge what to do!

There is so much material available and there are so many serious chargesthat we are going to parcel the story out issue by issue in ournewsletter. Publication of some of the issues will be delayed while we send

copies of the documents to State and County officials before releasing thedocuments to the public.

Around the last of May the story broke about our offices beingransacked. Now you are going to see just why they were so desperate that

they resorted to burglary. What they didn’t know was that we had an ideaon just how hot this was going to get, those files were kept in anotherlocation and after the burglary they were scanned and copies placed wherethey could be brought to light should something happen.

Now for the first allegation against Representative Dan Sullivan… 

Insurance Fraud: 

On 6-14-2006 Dan Sullivan did a pretty mundane thing, he applied for adisability insurance policy from Guardian Life Insurance. In this applicationit appears that Sullivan made numerous major misrepresentations on hismedical history, his emotional health, his family medical history, his travelhistory, his participation in hazardous sports, and his tobaccouse. Insurance premiums set the monthly cost of the premium by

attempting to gauge the risk of a claim so lying about major risks lowers themonthly premium. Yes the statue of limitations has likely ran on any fraudcommitted but our reason for exposing this corruption is to begin to paint apicture of the character of the man appointed Floor Leader of the OklahomaState House of Representatives.

In the 2006 Guardian disability insurance application, Sullivan apparentlymisrepresented his Mitral Valve Prolapse problem that was originally

diagnosed in 1978, a serious enough issue that it caused him to be turneddown for health insurance in 1986. The heart problem was somewhatdisclosed on a Massachusetts Mutual life insurance application in 1996. Inthe 2006 Guardian application Sullivan also called his Mitral ValveProlapse a “heart murmur”. A heart murmur is a common occurrence and

not always a serious health issue, indeed the definition of heart murmur issimply an abnormal sound made by the heart. A Mitral Valve Prolapse is adiagnosed cause of a heart murmur, a specific cause and sometimes aserious disorder.

In the 2006 Guardian application Sullivan apparently claimed no treatment,consultation, or counseling for heart condition in previous ten years despitethe extensive record of concern in 1988 and 1989 and lab work in early2006. Yes, the ten years previous information request stops at 1996 butdoes a serious medical condition just lay dormant from 1988 to 2006? Thendoes his heart condition suddenly get worse and require hospitalization in2007, a year after the disability insurance application is given? Or wasSullivan racing to have a disability policy in place in case he became unableto work?

The Guardian disability application is showing a different home phonenumber, why? When asked for my home phone number on an officialdocument, I will give my home phone number. But if I didn’t want

someone at home to be privy to what I was doing, perhaps Iwouldn’t. Sullivan was in the midst of a sordid affair with a House staffer, afellow attorney, so perhaps the old ticker was making him anxious.

On the Guardian application Sullivan denied his intent to travel despite along history of foreign travel. He apparently traveled to Ensenada Mexico in1992, St Thomas in 1995, Cancun in 1995, Cozumel in 1997, Canada in1995 and 1997, Egypt in 1998, Russia in 1999, Israel in 1998, India in2001, Cancun 2003, Cozumel in 2003 and 2004, the Dominican Republic in2003, and Tapei in 2007. International travel is considered much more riskydue to political instability, lower sanitation standards, exposure to regionaldiseases for which your body hasn’t developed antibodies, and lower qualityemergency care available should you run into health problems while

overseas. Did Sullivan cheat his insurance company by downplaying theactual risks in his life?

from PacificCare Behavioral Health on Sept 27th of 2007, having apsychological evaluation and seeing a therapist on 9-28-07 and 10-11-07. Did Sullivan have a history of emotional disorders, anxieties, or stressthat he chose not to reveal to the insurance company?

On the Guardian application Sullivan denied family history of illnesses onpage 4 despite reports of maternal and paternal medical histories showingotherwise. Reports say that his maternal grandfather had brain surgeryallegedly for a tumor, his uncle had stroke (an attorney in Sapulpa) and thesome of maternal family members had heart issues and stroke issues. Onhis paternal side, his dad reportedly had heart trouble and high bloodpressure issues, and hereditary sinus surgery issues followed the paternalside of his family.

Sullivan’s tangled web caught up with him in late 2007 when his heartcondition declined to the point where he required heart surgery,valvuloplasty on his long malfunctioning mitral valve, a cardiopulmonarybypass with a prosthetic ring implanted. Interestingly enough Dan traveledto Cleveland for his surgery rather than use a local hospital. Why?

By misrepresenting his medical history, travel habits, family medicalhistory, risky sport hobbies, did Sullivan committed insurancefraud? Would a man capable of making over $500,000 a year chose tocheat an insurance company rather than pay premiums based upon hisactual risks and condition?

The Tea Party is calling on the State Insurance Commission, the TulsaDistrict Attorney, the Bar Association, and the House of Representatives toconduct investigations into Sullivan’s conduct and to file appropriate charges

at the county and state level if the investigation proves actual insurancefraud.
