Taxpayer shame on Douglas Co. Commissioners.  NE Taxpayers for Freedom warned the county board 2 yrs. ago that the proposed new elaborate juvenile detention center downtown was too small to hold what is clearly an increase in violent juvenile crime.  Now, apparently the county must hold the overflow in the old juvenile center, requiring 2 sets of jailers & other staff.  County taxpayers will pay the extra bill.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our County Watch Project & chastise county commissioners.

 

Cong. Don Bacon has kept his promise to “cross the aisle” to work with Socialist Democrats.  He is 1 of only 8 Republicans co-sponsoring HR 3648 sponsored by a Socialist Dem that would allow thousands of aliens to obtain lawful permanent resident status, if they have waited at least 2 yrs. for a visa.  Eliminating employment-based country caps would further accelerate the displacement of American tech workers. Bacon is again favoring foreigners over his own citizens.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF Project Immigration. 

 

There is a surplus of $1 billion in the state treasury.  The cash reserve sets at $2.3 billion, $1.3 billion higher than the maximum reserve level.  State senators will have the option of either cutting taxes or spending on additional welfare programs.  Now is the time to contact your state senator and begin lobbying him/her to give NE property owners desperately needed tax relief.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for lobbying information.

 

Taxpayers nationally & in NE now have an avowed champion, Donald J. Trump, as a candidate for President in 2024.  Nebraska Taxpayers for Trump is already organizing statewide.  If you would like to join us in continuing to advance & promote the Trump legacy of federal tax relief & reform & stop runaway inflation, please consider joining our upcoming Zoom meetings statewide.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for details. 

 

Notwithstanding the fact that the national GOP snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, Donald J. Trump once again is charging ahead, holding the banner of fiscal conservatism.  He is our best hope to roll back the tidal wave of socialism, with its high inflation, egregious spending, & stifling regulations.  Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom already is organizing NE Taxpayers for Trump.  Please join us by emailing netaxpayers@gmail.com.

 

Looks like taxpayers will have no additional totality of champions in the NE Legislature in January.  Important issues like comprehensive property tax relief, spending controls, & state aid to education undoubtedly will not be resolved until possibly at the 2024 election cycle.  Hopefully, fiscally conservative new & current senators can nudge the majority towards a bit more tax & spending relief.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NE Taxpayers Legislature Watch Project. 

 

In a full-page Weird-Herald ad addressed to Gov.-elect Pillen & new state senators, the NE ACLU pleads for prison reform.  The leftist idea of prison reform is to drastically empty our prisons of violent & other felons who have murdered & otherwise harmed lawful, peaceful citizens.   Although building a new prison is expensive for taxpayers, it is worth it to incarcerate evil, predatory individuals who prey on society.  Lobby your state senator for a new prison. 

 

More unsolicited advice to the NE GOP.  Learn how to manage a good ground game in precincts.  Dropping off bags full of GOP candidate flyers a few days before the election does little good, as many have already voted. Residents dump them in the recycle bin.  Socialist Democrat field volunteers covered precincts in force.  Dem yard signs and flyers on porches proliferated like mushrooms, in GOP-leaning precincts.  Don’t ask volunteers to knock on doors; residents do not open doors to strangers.  The list goes on…

 

My unsolicited advice to the NE GOP after 35 yrs. in conservative politics: Scan year-round for credible, viable candidates, not RINOs.  Use funds to hire professional campaign managers & train new ones.  Direct volunteers into credible campaign schools & seminars.  Utilize personnel who actually know how to use new software campaign technology.  Transform the Party from a social club into a fighting machine. The NE Socialist Democrats do all of the above, & that is why they win!

 

Very pleased that my legislative & personal hero, State Sen. Tom Brewer, returned safely from Ukraine, where he distributed Bibles, portable stoves, & other needed items to Ukrainian soldiers bravely defending their nation from the brutal Russian Bear.  Our taxpayer group looks forward to working with Sen. Brewer on crucial fiscal issues in the 2023 legislative session.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our NTF Legislature Watch Project. 

NO RINOS WANTED.

 

If all the Republicans elected and re-elected to the Legislature are true friends to the taxpayer and not RINOs, taxpayers will have 33 votes to stop liberal Big Spender filibusters.  So glad to see RINOs John McCollister, Mark Kolterman, Matt Williams, & John Stinner term-limited out.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com to join our Legislature Watch Project. 

WHERE WAS THE BIG RED WAVE?

 

The expected Big Red Wave vote was a ripple at the ballot box.  Reasons: Young voters indoctrinated by union teachers & radical professors, immigrants who have no experience or stake in representative democracies, a left-leaning media, a population increasingly dependent upon government welfare, & no strong GOP message.  Our nation & state rapidly gravitating towards Socialism/Communism.  If you still want to fight back, email netaxpayers@gmail.com.

HELP THE RIGHT CANDIDATES.

 

One way you can help taxpayer-friendly candidates today & on Election Day is to grab a yard sign, remove the frame, & join with others in sign-waving on busy arterial streets.  Many voters wait until Election Day to vote & are still unsure for whom to vote, especially towards the end of the ballot.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for our NE Taxpayers for Freedom Voting Guide & wave a sign for taxpayer rights!

 

If you reside in MUD District 6, please vote for Mike McGowan, an incumbent who has worked tirelessly to keep our utility rates low & utilize private subcontractors to save ratepayers money.  His opponent is RINO John McCollister, who, if elected, undoubtedly will vote with the liberals to boost our utility rates.  Because of federally-mandated sewer rate increases, our utility bills already are high.  Vote for Mike McGowan!

 

Don’t forget the ballot issues when voting!  Vote YES on Initiative 432, Voter ID, to prevent fraudulent voting & illegal alien voting.  Vote NO on Initiative 433, to raise the minimum wage.  Raising this wage will put teens, part-timers, & senior citizens supplementing their Social Security out of work, torpedoing their standards of living.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for our NTF Voting Guide. 

 

Do you wonder why so many of the participants at leftist rallies & demonstrations are young people?  The answer is simple.  Our children & teens are being brainwashed & indoctrinated by leftists & communists embedded in our public school & university/college systems.  The only solution is to elect taxpayer-friendly conservatives to our university board of regents, state board of education, & local school boards.  Email netaxpayers@gmail.com for our Voter Guide. 

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

 

What’s that smell?  It’s the foul odor of VarGAS.  Tony Vargas fibs that he is frugal with taxpayer $$, yet he voted to spend $500,000 to fund ways to avoid AIDs during sex & to help violent criminal convicts apply for welfare payments before release.  Also voted to create free residential housing for parolees who commit parole violations.  Vargas is tough on taxpayers, easy on criminals.  His legislative voting record

stinks worse than Limburger Cheese. 

NEBRASKA SCHOOLS POOR REPORT CARD

The Nation’s Report Card shows the NE 8th Grade math score lowest since 2000, the 4th Grade math score lowest since 2011. 4th & 8th Grade reading scores lowest since 2002! Liberals blame the pandemic.

A teacher union leader tells the public not to emphasize this situation. Public school student academic achievement is failing, because leftist union teachers are indoctrinating kids, not educating them. Vote for taxpayer-conservative school board candidates on Nov. 8!
