Congress Watch

A PROJECT OF NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM

EXPLANATION & OBJECTIVES:

Nebraska representatives and senators in Washington, D.C. continually debate and vote on bills and resolutions pertaining to many issues of importance to fiscal conservatives. NTF, The Congressional Quarterly, newspapers, periodicals, and Internet websites record the votes of these elected officials. NTF publishes an annual voting record for NE representatives and senators. We believe our membership and the public entitled to examine these voting records, in order to form educated opinions about their Capitol Hill representatives. Too many congressmen go to great lengths to hide their voting records from their constituents by making excuses and shading the truth about their positions on legislation. These officials rely on their constituents not discovering roll call votes and their consequences. Our project instructs our members how to monitor voting records and lobby their Capitol Hill officials to vote as fiscal conservatives.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS:

Diligently keep current on congressman positions and votes.
Note positions and votes especially on current, controversial issues.
Use these positions and votes as a basis upon which to write your opinion/criticism to your representative or senator or to request clarification or additional information.
Thank officeholders for their efforts and conservative votes.
Read periodic bulletins sent to NTF by our national affiliate, the National Taxpayers Union, based in Washington, D.C. These bulletins, plus bulletins that we download from the Internet and our own research papers, analyze important bills and resolutions currently pending in the House and Senate.
Use “How to Write Your Congressman” and other NTF outlines to lobby your senators and representatives.

“I would like to take this opportunity to applaud Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom for encouraging individual taxpayers to follow the actions and votes and provide input to members of Congress. I strongly support your ‘Congress Watch’ project.” — Shane Osborn, former State Treasurer and 2014 candidate for U.S. Senate.
