Nebraska Lawmakers React to Obama Speech
Town Hall Meetings
Good Morning,
I think you should hold a 3rd, 4th, or 5th town hall meeting(that’s just in the Douglas/Sarpy county area) until Nebraskans across The Great State of Nebraska understand the plan. It wouldn’t be doing too much if you had 2 a week when you are out of session and 1 a week while in session. YOU could do electronic town hall if you think travel would be an issue.
WE deserve answers.
this is my letter to Senator Ben Nelson
Dissecting the Kennedy Health Bill
Article from the WSJ:
Last September Sen. Barack Obama promised that under his health-care proposal “you’ll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves.” On Monday, President Obama repeated that promise in a speech to the American Medical Association. It’s not true. Continue reading “Dissecting the Kennedy Health Bill”

Congress to the rescue
By JoAnne Allen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Sen. Charles Schumer on Sunday unveiled a proposal aimed at giving fans a better chance to buy hot concert tickets at face value before ticket resellers scoop them up and raise the prices.
The proposed legislation would set a two-day waiting period from when tickets go on sale through normal channels before a ticket reseller can buy the tickets to put on the secondary market, Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in a statement.
"The bottom line is we need to create a fair system where fans get first crack at good seats at a reasonable price," Schumer said. Continue reading “Congress to the rescue”

Statement from Lee Terry, Congressman from the 2nd District
Terry Votes Against Bailout bill
WASHINGTON- Today Congressman Terry (R-NE) voted against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, H.R. 3997. The bill failed on a vote of 205-228.
“The magnitude of increasing federal bureaucracy with $700 billion of taxpayer money is not a decision to be made so quickly. I truly believe there are other options including using the private market that should be thoughtfully considered by Congress. I look forward to continuing work in a timely fashion on this critical matter,” said Congressman Terry.

How the Democrats created the financial crisis
Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) — The financial crisis of the past year has provided a number of surprising twists and turns, and from Bear Stearns Cos. to American International Group Inc., ambiguity has been a big part of the story.
Why did Bear Stearns fail, and how does that relate to AIG? It all seems so complex.
But really, it isn’t. Enough cards on this table have been turned over that the story is now clear. The economic history books will describe this episode in simple and understandable terms: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exploded, and many bystanders were injured in the blast, some fatally.

NATIONAL NAME TAGS!!!!
