(Omaha, Neb.) A recent article in the Washington Examiner solidifies that Americans are fed up with President Obama’s job killing legislation including Obamacare and the failed stimulus bill. His inability to evoke hope and his detrimental change has impacted Young Americans significantly. The article sites recent Pew research that shows millennial generation voters, those under 30, are leaving the Democratic Party for the Republican Party. “The Democratic edge in party identification among white Millennials dropped from 7 points in 2008 to 3 points in 2009 to a 1-point Republican edge in 2010 and an 11-point Republican lead in 2011.”
Under Obama, young voters are looking for the jobs and opportunities but find disappointment. We are seeing them move toward the Republican party for answers.
Join us for our August meeting on August 9th at 6:30pm, where our speaker will be U.S. Senator Mike Johanns. Johanns has a long history of serving the people of Nebraska.

Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman officially became chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) today during the closing plenary session of the NGA Annual Meeting. Delaware Gov. Jack Markell was named vice chair. Gov. Heineman announced his chair’s initiative, Growing State Economies, which will provide governors and other state policymakers with a set of policy options that have been shown to foster job growth. A major emphasis will be on understanding how a small business becomes a fast-growing firm and what policies support that transformation.
“Economic growth is key to our success. As governors look for the best strategies to strengthen state economic performance, many are focusing on the potential of small businesses and new firms to transform their economies,” said Gov. Heineman.

As the National Governors Association Chairman, this will allow Heineman to put a spotlight on Nebraska's success in surviving the recession, keeping its economy growing and holding down unemployment to 4.1 percent. That's the second-lowest rate in the country and less than half of the national unemployment rate of 9.2 percent.

The numbers are undeniable: the policies of the Obama Administration are making this country worse.
Johanns: Jobs Report Confirms Obama Is Making the Economy Worse
"The foundation of our economic trouble is our government's ongoing reckless spending, and in a situation demanding strong executive leadership, President Obama is failing our country," Johanns said. "The American people don't want more stump speeches and can't afford more legislation like the stimulus and health care law that have frozen up the economy. We will not get our country's fiscal house in order until everyone, Democrat and Republican, recognizes this reality and works together to cut the deficit and restore fiscal responsibility."
