We were a nation that was founded upon Christian values where we prided ourselves on welcoming immigrants, the poor and down trodden who wanted nothing more but to make a better life for our families.  Extreme Arizona SB1070-style legislation in Nebraska will indeed betray what made the United States of America a great nation, and […]
