ELECTION 2018 CONSERVATIVES FARED WELL IN GUBINATORIAL, SENATE AND CONGRESSIONAL RACES, LESS WELL IN LEGISLATURE, AND FAILED WITH SOCIALIST MEDICAID
Sen. Deb Fischer won a 100% conservative score, the first time that NTF has awarded this score! Sen. Ben Sasse scored a 96% conservative voting score.
Congressman Don Bacon:
NDAA:
I am grateful to be a part of the National Defense Authorization Act Conference Committee to ensure our men and women in uniform have the resources they need to be successful with their missions and careers. I look forward to ensuring that the legislative priorities of mine included in the House version of the NDAA are kept in the final legislation.
SCORE:
This week we passed the SCORE for Small Business Act, which will allow more mentoring opportunities by retired business leaders to owners of small businesses and entrepreneurs. Supporting small businesses in the Second District is a priority of mine and this legislation will help them thrive.
Trucking Opportunities Expanded
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao visited Omaha to announce a new program that expands job opportunities in trucking to young veterans and active military members. Under this program, 18 to 20-year-old reservists and veterans with a military license equivalent to a commercial trucker’s license, will be allowed to cross state lines. Currently, truck drivers with a CDL must be 21 to cross state lines. I believe this start up program will give young veterans an opportunity at a promising career.
Homeland Security
The Homeland Security Committee held a hearing about how critical infrastructure will be secured in upcoming elections. Continued safeguards and other security measures will better protect our elections from hacking and fraud.
Russian attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure is not something we want to continue. So, I asked Under Secretary Krebs what we can take away from these attacks and how we can address our own vulnerabilities.
My fourth bill was approved by the House of Representatives the other week. The bill, H.R. 5733, the DHS Industrial Control Systems Capabilities Enhancement Act directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to address vulnerabilities to technologies used in critical applications. I believe the next ‘Pearl Harbor attack’ will not be with missiles and torpedoes alone, but will be paired with attacks to our private sector functions needed to support our daily lives, such as our electric grid.
As your Representative in Congress, I value your input, questions, and concerns. I enjoy hearing directly from my constituents whenever possible. Please visit my website bacon.house.gov.
Hear about my work on the VA clinic in Omaha.
Hear how tax reform is helping millions of Americans.
I was on Outnumbered Overtime on Fox News to discuss the Bipartisan Budget Act’s impact on our military.

Stung by the Trump freeze on federal hiring and his pledge to “drain the swamp” in the federal bureaucracy, union employees are fighting back. Employees purposely leak memos and sabotage the Trump efforts to streamline and trim the bloated bureaucracy and slice away waste, inefficiencies, and fraud. Agency employees use their government computers to post messages and commentary contrary to the President’s directives. This entrenched, intransigent civil service can slow the progress of Trump rules and regulations. The liberal federal bureaucracy will sabotage the Trump Agenda as much as possible. Example: The Justice Dept. asst.-secretary who refused to enforce the Trump immigration restriction. Liberal federal judges try to block Trump reforms continually.
Congressional leftists in the House and Senate are plotting to delay, destroy, or at least dilute Trump legislation to lower taxes and spending, keep out Muslim terrorists, protect the lives of unborn babies, and rid commerce of strangling and job-killing rules and regulations.
The controlled, liberal print, radio, and TV media deliver daily poisonous commentary about the Trump Agenda, pounding the President on every issue with flagrantly biased coverage.
Liberal-controlled institutions like universities and increasingly our public schools churn out a steady pabulum of leftwing indoctrination, goading their students to protest and march against the Trump Agenda.
The international Left coordinates closely with their American comrades to mobilize simultaneous marches, riots, and attacks on private property and businesses.

To confront, counter, and overwhelm this Leftist onslaught, conservatives must take action now! Though many conservatives gratefully volunteered to elect Donald Trump, now is not the time to fade into the political wilderness. Our President campaigned hard for us, won, and now has embarked on a journey to restore our nation to the constitutional foundation bestowed upon us by our Founding Fathers. He needs and deserves our help. Join us today to Make America Great Again!

8TH ANNUAL INDEPENDENCE DAY TEA PARTY HUGELY SUCCESSFUL!
Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom again protested the treatment of taxpayers by officeholders in Nebraska and Congress. “We continue to protest against taxes and illegal immigration,” said Doug Kagan, NTF president, “because elected officeholders continue to anger us with high taxes, higher debt, excessive spending, burdensome regulations on businesses, and undeserved privileges for illegal aliens.”
With themes of ” No Taxation without Representation” and “No Illegal Immigration without Representation,” taxpayers rallied on Friday, July 29, at Walnut Grove Park, 150th & Q Streets, Omaha.
Keynote speakers included Att.-Gen. Doug Peterson, Mayor Jean Stothert, congressional candidate Don Bacon, and Dr. Mark Christian from the Global Faith Institute speaking on radical Islam. Those attending visited and met with conservative state and local candidates and officeholders.
Our tea party also featured patriotic music, contests, drawings for prizes, and a Liberty Tree.
