Did That Sovereignty Resolution Mean Anything?

By Shelli Dawdy On March 29, 2010, I published an article here about the effort taken by GiN and so many Nebraskans to get the Sovereignty Resolution passed through the Nebraska Unicameral. Since then, I’ve been wondering…will that effort go to waste? Sovereignty…what does it really mean? On April 13, 2010, the Nebraska Unicameral passed […]

In Don’t Count On A Republican Congress To Save The Day I theorized there is ample evidence and information that placing all hopes on the results of November’s election is a fallacy. The title of the second, […]

GOP Congress Will Not Save Us: Time To Choose Ourselves

In my most recent post, “Don’t Count on a Republican Congress to Save the Day“, I made the case that a majority Republican Congress is not likely to result in either an overall reversal of the disastrous direction of our government or a repeal of such things as the historically bad healthcare law. In fact, […]

By Shelli Dawdy LR 292 survived another set of hurdles Friday, April 9.
