By Shelli Dawdy Last Friday, I filled in for the incomparable Kaye Beach on her Axxiom for Liberty radio show. 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 [...]
In an interview conducted by the host of a local radio station just prior to the November 2nd election, now 4th term Congressman Jeff Fortenberry made several comments that deserve scrutiny. We’ve already discussed Fortenberry’s apparent back-pedaling, during that interview, from the Republicans’ commitment to the voters to repeal and replace the health reform law. [...]
Those of us who believe our state and our country are going very much in the wrong direction should expect it will require much from all of us. Are we all doing all that we can do? George Washington’s favorite play was Cato, the story of a Roman who struggled, along with others to preserve [...]
This is an update regarding the request for action summarized in our article: “YOU Can Do Something About That Health Care Law”. One of GiN’s members, Don, heard a news report on KLIN during the noon hour. Senator Nordquist reported that, of the approximately 500 responses to date, most have been positive. As we have [...]
By Shelli Dawdy UPDATE: This article is generating a lot of interest and of course that is a very good thing. I am concerned, however, that people from other states may be disappointed when they discover the fact this is a particular call to Nebraskans to act. For those who ARE from outside NE, I [...]
By Shelli Dawdy There’s been a lot of hype about November 2, 2010, a good deal of which amounts to distracting people from focusing on important races and issues within their state, county, and local area. I hope I’m wrong about what may happen when reality starts to set in in the weeks and months [...]
Six months ago we labeled LB 1110 “the bill that just won’t die”. This “dead” piece of legislation, the people connected to it, and entities who are pushing for it, just keep creeping up every time we turn around (pun not intended…but it works). The “zombies” here simply cannot be ignored because resurrection efforts have [...]
Two-thirds of Nebraskans don’t want the health care law implemented. Of that number it’s impossible to know how many realize that there is more than one way to fight its implementation. Considering the potential damage the fully implemented law would cause to the economy, quality of care, medical innovation, and individual liberty, it stands to [...]
This one’s going to take several rounds of darts… Omahan Jeremy Nordquist just keeps coming to our attention because Nebraska’s two largest newspapers seem to have him on speed dial. If there’s a need to get a quote from someone on the opposite side of an issue from a Republican, or there’s a big spending [...]
