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 grid graph illustrating actual votes, and a percentage voting score for every state senator. We distribute copies to NTF members and the media.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS:

Study the enclosed multi-page Legislative 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.
