UPDATE: I just received confirmation from Sen. Tony Fulton’s office that this meeting will occur TONIGHT at the time and place indicated below. Here is a copy of a press release from Sen. Colby Coash’s office, dated November 5, 2010, with more information: The Lancaster County Delegation will be hosting a town hall meeting on [...]
As the revolt grows against the police-state type tactics now being employed at America’s airports, some alternatives to this insanity which have been proposed for years are now being heard during prime time on Fox News. The general tone on Bill O’Reilly’s show has shifted a great deal just since last week when he had [...]
“Somebody, somewhere, needs to shake us from this stupor of blind policy and blind obedience. I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t some test — a test of just how stupid Americans are. If TSA said that from now on we had to hop on one foot while humming “God Bless America,” would we do [...]
By Shelli Dawdy In a very bizarre twist to end this week, I discovered that two seemingly unrelated areas of concern and interest have converged. Immediately following the election, there were two announcements regarding Nebraska’s Senate seat currently held by Ben Nelson, whose term expires in 2012. Governor Heineman announced that he will not be [...]
By Shelli Dawdy As I noted yesterday, Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler held a press conference earlier this week wherein he announced a methane gas drilling project that was just beginning at the Bluffs Road facility.

I was pleased to have been joined by my co-host Sandra Crosnoe and three very interesting guests. We mentioned on the show and the Rule of Law Radio Network’s archive page that we would be [...]
By Shelli Dawdy CBS’ 60 Minutes aired an interview with President Obama on Sunday. I confess, I have not had the…heart?…stomach?…enough duct tape? to watch the interview in its entirety. I had my TV on far more than usual this weekend, though, and found myself inundated with the seemingly obligatory rehashes by every political talking [...]
By Shelli Dawdy As we reported the day after the election in “Election Results: Who Says Every Vote Does Not Count?“, Legislative District 8 Candidate John Comstock lost his race by a mere 36 votes. The Nebraska Secretary of State’s website lists the “unofficial results” as follows: Comstock, 2,906 votes at 49.69%; opponent Burke J. [...]
What seems like five minutes after Tuesday’s election, we heard from newly re-elected Governor Dave Heineman that he was not interested in running for the United States Senate seat currently held by Ben Nelson that will be up for re-election in 2012. Certainly, considering the almost continuous sparring between the Governor and Senator Nelson over [...]
