SUPPORT CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES.
Every campaign, I see the same thing. Liberals turning out in droves to support leftist candidates, taking flyers door to door, putting up yard signs, working phone banks, working at the polls on election day, writing guest editorials. Every election, I see the same thing. Conservatives too lazy to support conservative candidates by taking flyers door to door, putting up yard signs, working phone banks, working at the polls on election day, writing guest editorials. Liberal candidates win, because conservatives are too lazy to get off their tushes to work for conservative candidates. It is NOT enough to write a check, attend a luncheon to hear a conservative candidate, or vote on election day. Our conservative candidates need worker bees. Select 1 or 2 conservative candidates of your choice and volunteer time and effort to help them. Remember, liberals win when conservatives sit home!

NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FEBRUARY MEETING.
Wed. Feb.
17, 6:30 PM. At Millard Library, 132nd & Westwood Ln.,
Omaha, Dr. Mark Christian from the Global
Faith Institute will speak at our NTF meeting on the dangers of Muslim
resettlement in Nebraska and its effect on state taxpayers. Mark
came to America in 2005, and soon discovered the shocking extent of Islamic
infiltration in his adopted country. To Mark, a man steeped in both religious
and political Islam, a man who grew up amidst the planning and scheming of the
Muslim Brotherhood, the recognition of their agenda at work in the United
States was almost immediate. Mark had grown up watching his father and uncle as
they, with their Brotherhood associates, had planned it all some three decades
earlier. Recognizing the urgency of this grim threat and informed by his unique
upbringing, he responded with the formation of the Global Faith Institute
as a way to protect his cherished American freedoms from the sickness he
thought he had left behind in Egypt.
Dr. Christian’s great-uncle is one of the founders of
the original Muslim Brotherhood, and Mark’s father, (who became a member in his
teens) remains a highly-respected advisor for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt
to this day.
