Shelli Dawdy with Grassroots in Nebraska (GiN) says “In my last article, I talked about how elected officials don’t often hear from those of us who just want to be left alone and don’t want anything from government. I theorized that is likely why, by the time politicians have run for higher office such as US Congress, they are no longer capable of hearing nor even perhaps believing that there really is a “silent majority” out there that wants limited government.” Continue reading

NE Think Tank Has a Lot In Common With Pelosi
On August 27th, the Platte Institute for Economic Research (Platte) sent out an email newsletter with a feature article entitled “The Economic Benefits of SNAP” in Nebraska.
