I SUPPORT REFUGEES MAKING NEBRASKA HOME (e action)





http://act.boldnebraska.org/letter/refugeeswelcome/?t=2&akid=143.3335.jdZhzt

Add your personal note to Gov. Pete Ricketts and Nebraska's Congressional delegation to the letter below:

Nebraskans are genuinely welcoming people, and we have the means — not to mention a moral obligation — to open our door to families who are facing devastation in the Middle East and a stark choice to flee or else die amid the chaos.

We demand that Gov. Ricketts and Nebraska's representatives in Congress support the admittance of refugees from Syria to Nebraska, so that our great state can continue its tradition of welcoming all to share in "The Good Life."

If I were a Nebraskan, I'd gladly sign. Sadly even though my state is solidly blue, our Republican governor is stomping his feet.
