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 got this reply from Erdman's office. They don't get it.

Robert, Thank you for the email. The intent of the bill is to strip authority away from the unelected county health directors and give it back to elected officials who can be replaced at the ballot box. While the bill does not accomplish what you want, it at least moves the ball down field in the right direction. Had she introduced a bill to ban all elected officials from issuing and enforcing directed health measures, it likely would have died in the HHS Committee. Strategy matters in the Unicameral Legislature. Joel C. Hunt, Legislative Aide

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 🙏🙏🙏

Here's just part of an email I am still composing. To continue on my theme of the NE OPEN MEETINGS ACT - RE: THE OMAHA CITY COUNCIL (and Fremont NE.) on 2/14/23. (Sorry to bore--, but ..!

https://citycouncil.cityofomaha.org/ view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGVdU5iDGRo 2/14.23 at 35 minutes 36 seconds - On item #25 Jaunita Johnson wants some answers from ... - she is denied! Then at 46 minutes 10 secs Festersen does it again to me! watch/learn how a tyrant plays with HIS rules to squelch citizen input! also note the sound problems a constant issue they ignore!

Right after me - he quickly closes the public hearing on #26 - but then allows Luiz E Rameriz(s?) to do what he wouldn't allow me to do!!! Uhhhh~! This has happened before.

They confuse the issue by multiple Consent Agendas - this one on "Resolutions" but confuses citizens with legalese - rapidly announcing ..... and that they pulled these two items for discussion - before going back to the other items (for public? hearing?) Then he quickly and quietly closed that PH, tried to get the vote - before opening #25 up to the citizen. (I believe their confusing and "not reasonable rules" and parliamentary rather than "Roberts Rules" are violations of the Open Meetings Act) I think the rules say that when they pull something from the CA, then discuss it, it opens it back up for citizens comments also - and Festersen should have asked for "citizen comments!

I had stood up 2-3 times trying to get their attn - but had to quickly interrupt with "excuse me1", "excuse me" - at which point Festersen rudely announced "you can't .... out from the ....!", I objected, he again ... then ordered the Sheriff Deputy to remove me" and I of course tried to object to that! I was pushed out! Just outside the LC doors the Deputy was really in my face, and we were vocal enough with each other - over his declaring I was out of the Bldg also, that they could hear it inside.

He was really in my face, I told him to get out of my face and that I didn't think he could legally remove me from the bldg over ...! I asked him to arrest me or charge me,...and I'm not leaving w/o my coat and papers, etc!

After watching the video playback of that and the events after my removal - I am further perplexed and complain - pointing out that Festersen again shows different treatment to others (as usual)! Two othere were allowed to do what I was not allowed to do, and to get off the direct topic only - which he usually would interrupt me, call me out of order for objecting, and remove me for objecting to that!

By the way - these two others are as frequent testifiers as I am and ......! More on that later! Such is the 1st Amendment, ....., "Right here in River City"!

How'd it go for the Fremont NE Citizens at Tuesday night's meeting?

Was the Fremont mtg you refer to that one from a couple weeks ago, or was it a new one I didn't hear about from last night?

I just emailed this:

pcharvey@pbwt.com

Subject: ES&S and the county investigation

Honorable Peter C. Harvey,

Several ES&S election machine counting errors have been exposed in recent elections. Some came to light through hand recounts, others by inconsistent machine recounts. If even ONE of them is real this many years after the technology has been able to be perfected, their too-expensive gig needs to be over. There is no advantage of election machines so important that it should come at the expense of accuracy. If speed was one of those supposed advantages, ES&S and Dominion machine counting pauses for several hours after midnight in several elections totally debunk that as being important to the people in control of the machines. Please cut no slack to ES&S for any of their sloppiness. Purported advantages of free, fair, secure, speed, and anything else are insidious distractions to the most important need for accuracy in elections. Ballot counting accuracy is profoundly SACRED. I urge you not to be swayed by ES&S’ other distracting sales pitches for their products. It bears repeating and emphasis at the risk of sounding trite: accuracy cannot be sacrificed on the altars of any of their other sales pitches, especially that silly, shiny sales pitch of speed.

As a concerned citizen and resident of Nebraska, I hope you’ll accept my letter for your investigation of election problems. I ask you to consider the poor track record of ES&S election machine accuracy around the country. Whenever hand counts are conducted following ES&S machines counts, ES&S NEVER defends their machine accuracies. NEVER. They ALWAYS make some excuse about why their machine counts don’t match hand counts. I therefore ask you to agree with ES&S about that - their machines do not count votes accurately.

ES&S worldwide headquarters are located in Omaha, NE. For counting votes the entire state uses ES&S products and services exclusively. Although ES&S is by far the largest of the election machine companies in the entire country, they do NOT have a stellar reputation here in their home state. The people of this state, those who are informed anyway, are trying to get ES&S machines eliminated in favor of hand counting. ES&S seems to be doing their absolute best to go under the radar in silence. This kind of attraction they have to darkness indicates to us that they are dishonest and fearful of exposure. We have been observing those mysterious election night counting shutdowns followed by race reversals then squeaky tight victories by candidates who were never ahead during election day counting, and we are doggone fed up with it!

It is public knowledge that Scott County, IA is known to have proven ES&S equipment count problems in a legislative race last November. Maybe not so public is that a precinct in South Dakota caught ES&S equipment miscounting, reported here: https://robertjborer.substack.com/p/breaking-news-in-sd. These machines are legally required to achieve error rates far, far below the error rates ES&S is tacitly admitting to by their silence to defend them. Worse for ES&S would be for them to attract attention trying and failing to defend the indefensible, but PLEASE challenge them to do so anyway for the sake of accurate elections.

Besides the accuracy problems, WI investigator the Honorable Michael Gableman states in his 2020 election investigative report that ES&S machines allowed suspicious election night remote logins and vote count tampering. Nebraska's handicapped booths were caught with ES&S wifi vulnerabilities. You can be sure these incidents are but a tiny fraction of ES&S' inexcusable and apparently malevolent anomalies.

Thank you for your honest service, and sincerely,

Ken Anderson, just one of millions of concerned citizens

They're keeping it on the books to keep the Federal Covid money flowing into the city. Baird uses it as her personal slush fund.

Although she has been laying mighty low since all these revelations have been coming out about the scamdemic.

Exactly. Her personal slush fund and that of all her friends. She's also using it to buy the support of city employees/unions and all their family members and friends. That's how it works.

Justice knows no morons. "Justice is blind"? Ask County Sheriffs and the new Ne AG - not a probably interest conflicted S of S! Nor a State Supreme Court that would think a citizen elector has "no standing"!

I'm sorry...the more I think about this response, the less acceptable I find it.

So...the unelected bureaucrats have the power to strip us completely of our god given rights via directed health measures (actually, they don't...you just ignore the health measures) but in order for our elected officials to secure them for us, we have to settle for incrementalism?

How about no. How about not obeying their idiotic health measures because we are free citizens? How about the law somehow 'grants' a raving, unqualified boob like Baird to issue these stupid edicts we just ignore the edicts. Because it's not a just law in the first place.

But no...please be good and obedient cattle and allow us to 'grant' you rights incrementally that you already have completely. Because we're craven and chicken shit and we call it strategy. Any elected official who doesn't unabashedly stand for our rights as enshrined in the Federal and State Constitution is a charlatan and a parlor pink.
