Last night the House of Representatives passed a payroll tax bill that contained a rider to rush a pipeline decision in 60 days. The rider was actively pushed by Rep. Terry. Both Rep. Smith and Rep. Terry voted for the bill, while Rep. Fortenberry voted against the bill. “We applaud Rep. Fortenberry for standing up […]

Update: The Saunders County Clerk has told us the best way to make sure all the supervisors read your concerns about the pipeline is to email her and include “Pipeline” in your subject line. Some supervisors are more likely to look at and respond to emails that way than direct correspondance. Even though temperatures are […]

It’s August Townhall season, and we knew it was only a matter of time before Lee “TransCanada” decided to show his mug around these parts. Sure enough, at his townhall in Valley, Rep. TransCanada showed that he continues to be a stooge for TransCanada and their Big Oil pals. He continues to reiterate inaccurate talking […]

Update: a group of pipeline advocates brought 91 ears of corn to represent the 91 oil spills that could happen if the pipeline gets built, see pictures here. While Rep. Terry’s bill to rush the pipeline through did pass the House, it is dead on arrival in the Senate. This bill was reckless and a waste […]

Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE) wants to rush the TransCanada pipeline.  Rather than base the decision on science, he rushed a bill (HR 1938) through the House Energy and Commerce Committee that says Sec. Clinton must make a decision by Nov. 1st, even if the studies have not been finalized. We wrote about Terry and his […]

Lee Terry, I have decided you must not really exist.  Now I know I supposedly saw you at the AFP “Running on Empty” (a title that writes it’s own jokes) stop, but as far as I know that could have just been somebody claiming to be you.  And I know that at Wednesday’s hearing you […]

This past week, two of our federal representatives made it clear where they stand on the Keystone XL pipeline.  Instead of listening to the concerns of Nebraskans, they are both sponsoring bills that would speed up the permiting process. For months, Senator Johanns spoke to the public and sent letters to Sec. Clinton saying we need […]

Do you like bedazzled Bald Eagles?  Think being transgendered means dressing up in drag in broad daylight?  Consider being a NAG a good thing?  Then boy oh boy have we found a group for you.  It’s the Nebraskans Advisory Group (NAG for short, their abbreviation, not ours), and they have a thing for glitzy patriotism […]

Six-term Republican Congressional candidate Lee Terry got a shining endorsement from Nebraska Senator Mike Johanns in his latest ad against Democrat Tom White.  Johanns repeated Terry’s assertion that Tom White is not suited for office because he “supported Nancy Pelosi’s $800 billion stimulus.”   Lee Terry was quoted by the Omaha World Herald in February […]

Last time we checked, voters want strong, bold candidates to represent them.  The last thing we want is a candidate who uses someone else sticking up for him as a first line of defense.  That is exactly what incumbent Rep. Lee Terry did this week when a fair ad showcasing his lobbyist loving ways hit […]
