Dear Friends,
4 quick items.

NE senators apparently took an oath to a Constitution they never read. I sent the following to the HHS Committee yesterday (today…this afternoon…they are conducting a hearing on LB421):
Dear Health and Human Services Committee Members,
I am writing in opposition to LB421.
It is both misguided and extra-constitutional.
Senator Kauth says, "No unelected bureaucrat should be able to restrict freedoms."
What she fails to recognize is that no body of "elected officials" should be able to restrict freedoms either.
Article I-1 of our State Constitution, the supreme law of Nebraska, makes it very clear:
”All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to keep and bear arms ..... and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof. To secure these rights, and the protection of property, governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Elected officials (and bodies thereof) are just as prone to tyranny as bureaucrats. Opening the door, through bad legislation, to unconstitutional decisions and actions by "elected" officials only gives those decisions and actions an appearance of legitimacy they wouldn't otherwise have through bureaucratic channels. In other words, Senator Kauth is aiding and abetting the enemy, albeit inadvertently. Good intentions aren't enough. The enemy would love nothing more than to spread the responsibility for tyranny amongst its members.
All legislation needs to be written in light of our Constitution. Writing "laws" contrary to our Constitution is a betrayal of the legislator's oath.
Respectfully,
It’s too late to offer comment on LB421 online, but you can address the HHS committee members directly with these email addresses:

Pillen just appointed the next state medical director. Timothy Tesmer. He’s another big pharma covid nazi. Thanks, RINOs.

The Lancaster Co Republican Party (LCRP) just legitimized covid tyranny with a resolution by their Central Committee. Quoting:
WHEREAS, the Committee believes the COVID-19 pandemic emergency declaration has allowed the government to impose severe restrictions on the daily lives and activities of the citizens of our county, and that these restrictions have had a significant impact on their physical and mental well-being, as well as on the local economy;
Pardon me. The bogus “emergency declaration” didn’t allow government to set aside our Constitution and impose severe restrictions on the daily lives and activities of our citizens. The citizens of Lincoln allowed it! Many of whom claim to be freedom-loving.
(I, for one, never participated in the nazi covid restrictions, and I never will. I openly defied them.)
The LCRP resolution also said:
WHEREAS, the emergent need to take swift and emergency action by the executive branch of local government has passed.
Again, pardon me. There was never any “emergency need”! There never was a "pandemic.” There was only a plandemic. Huge difference. Let’s get this right.

This story has been the highlight of my morning so far (not counting morning prayer and scripture reading):
You can read the story here:
That’s it.
God bless and have a great day.

P.S. God is still pouring out his Spirit upon all flesh in these last days. Read the first seven chapters of Acts…all the way to, and through, Stephen’s amazing and impromptu speech in chapter seven. Don’t get distracted by the very intelligible “other tongues” that were spoken. The marks of an outpouring of God’s Spirit are an intelligible and tangible presence of a holy God, that brings deep and spontaneous repentance, or judgment. This is the only thing that’s going to turn our world upside down…or should I say, turn our upside-down world right side up. Such an outpouring doesn’t come without seeking Him. We need a real move of God. Such has happened numerous times throughout our history. But hundreds of years can go by without it happening, because the reality is that a hundred years…one lifetime…is a very short period of time, and people tend to live on memories, rather than in the moment.
I also wrote you in for governor and the way you've been treated as far as trying to verify your votes has laid bare how corrupt and anti Constitutional our state government is and how our laws are written to protect the establishement.
I took your comment above word for word and submitted it on the HR421 legislative web site. No need to reinvent the wheel. Plus you were far more eloquent than I could have been.
I wrote you in for governor, sickens me you weren’t elected! ! ! I didn’t want these evil ppl! I’m To the point I don’t trust any in office! We had Teresa Ibach voted in legislature from our area! Found last summer their family farm corporation is pushing wind turbines! They want 100 in Dawson county 😰😡. Several signed up now cause geez they get huge money for putting on their land ! We have tons in the area trying to fight and stop them! Sadly the small farmers don’t have huge money to fight this ! We need prayer and a miracle! Sumner, Overton surrounding areas, even north of us! God help us! I find it odd the rich want it the middle class don’t! Where are the environmentalist?? Where are those that fight for wildlife, for bald eagles that are being killed by them ?? Who’s accountable for the death of them! The ppls health that are effected by having near their homes? How will Nebraska ever get back to being the good life state , instead of a very corrupt one, that few see how bad the corruption is at all levels, education & you name it 🙏🙏🙏
