It's been quite a while
since the last website update, but our mailing list has been
continually updated. If you'd like to keep up with us by joining
our mailing list, please fill out our online signup
form.
THANK YOU to all of you who have joined us at parades,
events, and supported us in other ways since the last website
update, and thank you to everyone who helped us support LB 467.
There will be many more opportunities for you to support our
efforts.
OUR NEW PETITIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO SIGN at our
signing locations!
Please visit one of them or
contact us to sign the petitions!
If you would like to HELP US collect signatures, please
contact us. Circulating is
easy, and it's the right thing to do. Please consider taking even
just one sheet. Every bit adds up, and if a lot of people would
collect just 20 signatures, it would greatly help our effort. More
information about the petitions can be found on our
petitions page.
If you would like to DONATE financially, CFN has an account
at American Interstate Bank in Elkhorn to handle contributions. If
you are interested in donating, please contact us immediately. Every
bit helps, and even small amounts can make all the difference.
Checks can be written to Citizens for a Free Nebraska, c/o AIB. The
bank’s address is: AIB, 701 Gateway Road, Elkhorn, NE 68022.
Our website is currently being redesigned, so please check
back periodically for details.
