Republican Dirty Tricks hit Lancaster County.

Dear Nebraska Democrat,

We’ve got a big problem and we need your help to solve it.

Earlier today NDP Campaign Director Ian Russell testified at a public hearing on the rules and regulations for satellite voting. He’s reported back that the current plan making it through will boost Republican turnout in Lincoln - and set a dangerous precedent for the general elections.

The training sessions were enjoyable and productive. The Yellow Dog University training sessions exceeded all our expections. It was wonderful to see so many high school and college students excited about being involved in politics and hopefully they'll use what they learned today to help Democrats win in 06'. David, Chad, Cody, Gary, Ryan and the rest of the UNO Dems who worked so hard on putting on Yellow Dog University deserve a big round of applause. It was encouraging to see students from Drake, Kansas State, UNK and throughout the region. UNO Dems are truly becoming regional leaders for Young Democrats. Great job today everyone!

UNO Dems - don't leave me hanging. I can't just keep refreshing my website when I need a reminder that Nebraska's on-line Democratic community exists. Of course, I know you guys are hard at work - knocking doors for candidates, fighting the good fight street by street - but it would be a damn shame to let this fantastic site fall into disrepair. Of course, I've quit blogging 2 or 3 times in my year of running the <a href="http://newnebraska.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">New Nebraska Network</a> - I really shouldn't be talking. Here's hoping this is just a temporary vacation, and you guys will get back to kicking some online ass real soon. I’m feeling kind of lonely in Internet-land. UNO Dems - don’t leave me hanging.

Sure, we could point out the details of the under-handed deal that is the trasnfer of the port management responsibilities to a country with known terroriest ties, we could describe in detail the fall of Bush's approval rating to record lows (and that's saying something), or we could (and this is my suggestion to Chief, Madison, Hamilton, etc.) simply discuss the unparalled greatness Derek Jeter and the Yankees and their sure trip to the top this upcoming October. I know you'll be back in the next day or so to find out, and hopefully so will the rest of UNO blog frequents.
