Another heartwarming story of the entrenched establishment getting their cages rattled.

"...it is clear that Ron Paul nationally and locally has designated Nebraska to be ground zero."
Wow

I forget. Did we do so well in Nebraska that we control the State Convention?

After careful consideration I have decided to
announce my candidacy for Chairman of the Nebraska
Republican Party. We are at a critical juncture in
Nebraska and in our nation. The importance of the
issues we face requires a leader who can work with
Republicans who have volunteered tirelessly for a
number of years and also with the many newly-
elected members to our State and County Central
Committees.
I have been active in the Republican Party for many
years and believe I have the skill set and abilities to
focus the party's efforts on electing Republicans in
Nebraska. I am encouraged by the dedication of long-
time, active Republicans and the energy and
enthusiasm of people who have recently become
involved. Together we can promote a single vision
of electing Republicans at every level throughout
the state.
My roots run deep in Nebraska and in the Republican
Party. I grew up in Lincoln, graduating from Lincoln
East High School and then Hastings College with
degrees in Business Administration, Economics and
Psychology. I have worked in banking and the grain
business in Omaha since 1982 and reside in Blair. I
am currently the Chairman of the Washington County
Republican Party and 1st District County Chair
Representative on the NEGOP Executive Committee.
My mother, Kay Orr, was the first female Republican
governor in the history of the United States.
Over the years, Nebraska has been very fortunate to
have tremendous leadership in our party. This is
exemplified best by the strong direction provided by
Governor Dave Heineman. As NEGOP Chairman, my
goal will be to build on and continue the success that
we have achieved. With this election we have an
opportunity to unite our party and continue to cement
Governor Heineman's legacy as one of the true great
leaders in our state and our country, a leader who
encourages grass roots involvement and support to
help build and strengthen the Republican Party.
This is a critical time when we cannot afford anything
less than enthusiastic party unity. We need to seize
this moment by electing someone who has the time,
energy and passion to build on our past success and
extend the reach of the NEGOP. I believe I'm that
person. With your support I will bring an
understanding of the challenges the party faces, the
ability to bridge the small gaps between the different
groups that comprise our party in Nebraska and assist
Governor Heineman in our nationwide fight for
liberty and freedom.
I'm asking for your vote and look forward to seeing you
in Grand Island.
Sincerely,
John Orr
Candidate for Chairman
Nebraska Republican Party

We never know until we get there. If we do, it sounds like it will be in coalition with others and how that will shake out, I don't know. We might all agree on the Presidential vote....
