“[T]he People…are the only sure reliance

 for the preservation of our liberty…”

Thomas Jefferson

For the first time in Nebraska history and one of few in this nation, a non-political, non-partisan Constitution Lobby has been formed, of, by and for the People of Nebraska. Why? Because our State and Federal Constitutions are being routinely violated and cannot defend themselves. We will hold elected officials accountable, not just on election day, but every day, regardless of party affiliation and whether we voted for them. Individuals and small groups cannot prevail: it’s time for us to come together and do what we cannot do alone.

Imagine:

  • a citizen vigilance Constitution Monitor in each of NE's counties, one for the state legislature and one for US Congress, avoiding all political issues and questions, simply keeping watch and recognizing any violations of the local charters and/or laws, or of the state and federal Constitutions.
  •  those Constitution Monitors respectfully bringing any violation to the attention of their elected officials and, if not getting a response, bringing the matter to the Constitution Lobby's Citizen vigilance Center (manned by Constitution lawyers, paralegals and clerks), who would then prepare a course of action - direct petition of redress to be served on the offending official, or indirect petition for redress to be filed in court.
  • 73,000 dues paying members of the Constitution Lobby, with full knowledge of their rights of remedy and petition guaranteed by the Nebraska Constitution, being kept informed of whether or not the officials respond.
  • the improvement in Constitutional governance once the elected or appointed officials realize a mass movement of People of Nebraska know what their rights are, are pro-actively watching what they, the officials, are doing, and are prepared to intelligently, rationally, professionally and non-violently engage in civic action should the officials first ignore the law and then ignore the People's petition for redress.
  • a permanent People's Lobby, in perpetuity, to guarantee a shift in power - from government back to the People where it was meant to be in the first place. Our republic will be restored and never again allowed to be in jeopardy.

“Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases.” Thomas Jefferson

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of Constitutional power.” ― Thomas Jefferson
