Nebraska Legislative Watch

A PROJECT OF NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM

EXPLANATION & OBJECTIVES:
NTF believes that the people of Nebraska have a right to know how their state legislators vote on important legislative issues that have an impact on the fiscal health of taxpayers, government intervention in private life and business, and law and order. This project affords Nebraskans a broad and deep analysis of how their state senators vote on current, crucial issues. Members lobby and carefully monitor votes and voting patterns of state senators. NTF annually publishes a Legislative Voting Record incorporating annotations of bills and resolutions monitored, a spreadsheet illustrating actual votes, and a voting score for every state senator. We distribute copies to NTF members and the media. See instructions for activists below.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Study the enclosed multi-page Legislature Watch packet.
Gather the tools/supplies you will need to proceed as mentioned in outline.
To proceed conscientiously, continually consult media, legislative, and NTF sources that show progress of legislation.
If you have questions, call (402) 551-0921.
Complete your monitoring following end of legislative session.
1. Numbers, titles, and sponsor(s) of bills you monitored.
2. Your notes.
3. Copies of correspondence with your state senator.
4. Copies of your notes pertaining to state senator discussions during committee hearings and floor debate.
5. Copies of news clippings and other background material regarding bills and resolutions monitored.
6. Contribute to and read our NTF Legislative Voting Record published annually.
7. Make copies and distribute widely to friends and neighbors.
