When Deb Fischer won the Republican primary in the race for the U.S. Senate seat last spring, some people were surprised and thought she had come from nowhere to win the nomination. They pointed to last minute money as the deciding factor and minimized her connection with the electorate.
Boy were they wrong!
What they failed to see was a person of immense integrity who had embarked on a 93-county, see-the-people-up-close-and-personal campaign. Deb Fischer took it upon herself to get to know all of Nebraska and give them a chance to get to know her. Thousands of hours and miles on her car later, Nebraskans liked what they saw.
With good reason!
She is a business owner who knows what it is like to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. She has experienced firsthand how the ups and downs of the economy affect a company, its owners and employees.
Deb Fischer is the textbook definition of the citizen legislator. In her campaign she touched every corner of the state and at the same time completely fulfilled her responsibilities as a member of the Nebraska legislature. Her commitment to service should be a model for every candidate and office holder.
Her core beliefs are a perfect fit for Nebraska. Deb Fischer has sworn to accomplish the following if elected:
- Put free-market capitalism back in its place as the driver of the American dream.
- Repeal the leviathan of Obamacare.
- Lower our tax burdens just like she has done in Lincoln.
- Adopt a Nebraska-knows-best for Nebraskans approach and roll back the federal overreach that is ruining everything it touches, e.g. health care, our schools, job development, the deficit, availability of energy and a laundry list of other issues.
- Secure our borders and adopt a comprehensive immigration policy to bring sanity back.
- Stand up for Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights without equivocation.
- Help eliminate questions about the direction of taxation, regulation and health care so business owners can feel comfortable investing in their businesses and start hiring people again.
- Get Washington off our backs.
Deb Fischer puts the welfare of Nebraska and its citizens first, unlike Bob Kerrey who has sworn his allegiance to Harry Reid or Ben Nelson who was eager to sell us out in the Cornhusker Kickback.
Next Tuesday we will elect a new Senator for our state, and when Deb Fischer emerges victorious, Nebraska will have put Washington on notice – no more business as usual. Deb Fischer will arrive, and things will never be the same again.

While I have not had the pleasure of meeting Deb as of yet, I am looking forward to having her represent us in Washington. It will be nice to have five representatives in Congress. It’s been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to watching the Tuesday evening results. For America’s sake I hope we are not disappointed.
Repealing ObamaCare, and making sure we don’t put more over-politicized radicals on the U.S. Supreme Court are two key reasons to vote for Deb Fischer, and not for Bob Kerrey. Over the weekend, I met a fellow who works in a pharmacy, and he is absolutely aghast over how bad ObamaCare already is, and would certainly be, if we don’t elect Romney and a GOP majority to get rid of it and put in better reforms. He said it is a real killer that ObamaCare forces pharmacies to dispense medications to Medicare and Medicaid patients even though the pharmacy for sure will lose money on each Rx because the reimbursement rate has also declined. He will be out of a job if ObamaCare stands, because he can’t make money with it in place, and because he couldn’t stand to work for the government, from what he has seen of it so far in his professional capacity as a pharmacist. ObamaCare is blatantly forcing the private sector out of the health-care industry to follow the Medicare/Medicaid models. He said there is soooooo much fraud and abuse in these government programs as it is, with zero oversight and accountability, that it would be a horrendous nightmare to let ObamaCare stand, for countless reasons, including . . . your health, and his job!!!
