SCOTT PRICE FOR LEGISLATURE

Wet Weather

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:48:00 +0000

I begin to wonder if there is going to be a weather surprise this week. There was an awful lot of snow in late October of 97! We shall see.......

State Benefits to Illegals

Veteran's

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:18:00 +0000

This past week I was asked by the Johanns Campaign to contact a diverse group of veterans and set up a Veterans Round table with Sen Thune and Sec. Johanns. I worked with Emily Brummund and Bellevue Chamber of Commerce President Megan Lucas to identify individuals to invite, and secure the time and location. Mrs. Lucas was able to work with Bellevue University to provide an ideal location in the Student Center's, Quiet room. To ensure the best results in the short time provided I turned to Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force (Ret) James McCoy, Gretna Mayor Tim Gilligan, a Vietnam veteran, and the local Military Officers Association President Pat Jones. Together we were able to build a coalition of veterans who represented the Active Duty, Guard & Reserve, retired, and those in transition from service. These 22+ individuals collectively possessed over 500 years of military experience. After a brief round of introductions and opening comments from both Sec. Johanns and Sen. Thune we shared concerns in areas of: Strategic Posture, aging weapon systems, Cyber Security, and VA issues. Both Sec Johanns and Sen. Thune were receptive to what was said and offered their thoughts and concerns on these matters.

Campaigning

What a great start to the weekend. We will be out today delivering signs, and even have a few McCain Palin ones left if you need one.

Mailers vs Reality.....

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:01:00 +0000

By now many of you have received mailers from my competitor dealing with a range of topics from taxes to illegal immigration. I want to let you know more on his stances, and his REAL vote on these important issues, so over the next days I will post excerpts from the Legislative Journal. Stay tuned.....

Polling

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 03:42:00 +0000

Well the telephone polling has started up again. Just tonight I was called about the race with a push type poll. This is where they ask you questions to influence your decision. From the calls I received on the questions asked during the poll it seems as if there is a bit of deception involved. I know a big surprise there. Hang in there as this will all be over in the not too distant future.

***** IF you want to know more about what the pollsters are trying to do just tell them you are undecided...... then they may ask you more questions! Have fun with them.***************

Governor Palin

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 03:17:00 +0000

WOW, what a super way to start this final stretch of this election. Governor Palin has fired up Nebraska, Republicans, Independents, and even a few Democrats!

more to follow.....

Weather

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:28:00 +0000

Well here we are at about 62 days out and the weather is fantastic for campaigning and I'm looking forward to walking the district and meeting with the voters of District 3.

Name Recognition

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:01:00 +0000

Folks, all the work over these past few months is beginning to pay off. We have been walking and knocking on doors in Gretna, the Chalco area, Papillion, and Bellevue, and are now visiting some homes for the third time. Just this past weekend I visited for the second time with a family who was planning a graduation party in the spring when I first met them. Now the conversation was about sending this same child off to college. It is very rewarding, and more than a bit humbling, to have such experiences. I look forward to visiting with more voters in the coming weeks as we move on to the General Election.

Super Saturday

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:01:00 +0000

This past weekend we held a Super Saturday and it was a tremendous success! We were able to distribute over 1500 pieces of literature throughout Gretna, Papillion, and Bellevue. I had the opportunity to visit with people I had spoken to prior to the Primary and to thank them for their support. The weather was great and the Offutt Air Show provide a fantastic backdrop to the whole day. I want to also say I am very humbled by all the time and effort the volunteers put forth, for without them this could not have happened. Thank You!

Social Networking

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:31:00 +0000

To use a familiar phrase "Technology is an enabler" isn't paying justice to what can be done with the social networking tools available today.

During my campaign to win Nebraska's 3rd Legislative Seat, I intend to leverage all the tools at my disposal. I started with this Blog and then moved onto a traditional web site. Then I started to connect by using Facebook, and this has been a tremendous tool to keep in contact with many family members, friends, and constituents. Today I have added yet another social networking tool and am very excited by the ability to integrate multiple web presences to one another. This promises to be an exciting time, and I am looking forward to seeing just what can be done for a campaign in conjunction with the more traditional methodologies.

Millard

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 03:43:00 +0000

The past couple of days I have been out walking in the Chalco/Millard area. While the heat and humidity have been somewhat oppressive, the people have been wonderful. I am looking forward to the next week as I will continue to visit with the residents there.

I would also like to say I am so very lucky to have as supportive family as I do. With Jacquie having broken her toe last week, and still walking with me, and my daughter Ashley working full time she too still finds time to walk with me. To both of you I say Thank You.

Gretna Days

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:32:00 +0000

Folks if you didn't get out to Gretna Days you just don't know what you missed. From the Optimist's BBQ and fantastic fireworks on Friday, through all the events on Saturday, and finishing with the car show and ice cream social on Sunday the whole weekend was packed with fun and excitement. What America is, was embodied throughout the weekend at Gretna Day's!

I want to say thank you to all the citizens of Gretna for putting on such a wonderful event.

Gretna

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:21:00 +0000

Today was a beautiful day and we took some time to enjoy the hospitality of the fine people of Gretna while walking the district. I even had a chance to help some people who were moving some furniture! All in all it was a great day!

Currious encounters

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:00:00 +0000

Life on the campaign trail does provide some great moments. Just after the Spring Red& White game I was driving back on Cornhusker Highway and the gentleman pulling up beside me asked for Yard Signs. Of course my first thought was whether or not he lived in the district! Turns out he does, and his yard is now proudly displaying 2 of the newest signs, one in front and another in back (lives on a golf course).

For those of you wanting a sign they are in and ready to be delivered.

Spring Game

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:56:00 +0000

It was a beautiful day for football, and both the son and I had a great time in Lincoln. The stadium was sold-out and a record for a spring game. In my opinion the Huskers are going to do much better this coming year, and the players are going to have more fun along the way.

Of course it was back to the campaign trail after the game and we had a lot of fun talking with many who had just returned from the game too. I also had a person waiting at a stop light in Lincoln who asked for yard signs for his home, he of course lives in the district. So it was a great day all the way around!

Brief Break

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:28:00 +0000

I will be taking a brief break in campaigning on Saturday as I am taking my son to the Spring Game!

GBR

Home Schooling

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 02:53:00 +0000

I would like to take a brief moment to pass along my view on home schooling. To be brief I believe that if a parent wants to provide for their child's education via home schooling then they should be afforded that opportunity. I DO NOT believe there should be any further legislation and or regulations heaped on parents.

Yard Signs

ELECT

SCOTT PRICE

Legislative District 3

Straw Poll

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:02:00 +0000

This past week was a Great week for Citizens To Elect Scott Price!

The Sarpy County Republican Women's group conducted a Soup and Sandwich forum with a Q&A session with the candidates. Then they conducted a Straw Poll and I am very pleased to share with you all the results of the poll.

I was declared the winner taking 62% of the Vote!

The Campaign is moving ahead full steam!

Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 02:57:00 +0000

So it is Spring, and here comes the famous Nebraska Weather! Looks like it is going to be a wild couple of days. The NWS is calling for thunderstorms, rain and snow mix, and high winds.

It has been a while since my last update as the weather had been fairly nice. During this time the wife, volunteers, and I have been out walking the district. It has been a wonderful experience to listen to all of you and here your concerns.

Now it is getting to be crunch time with the Primary almost here. We will be out talking with as many of you as we can, and putting up our signs. If you would like a sign just let us know and we will be happy to take one out to you.

Take care to secure your deck furniture this weekend, and I look forward to meeting you.

Spring

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 03:46:00 +0000

Once again spring is here!

The weather has been nice this week and we have been taking full advantage of it. Both Jacquie and I have been out walking in Papillion, Gretna, and Bellevue. It has been a great time to meet with many and to hear their thoughts on what is, and isn't, happening in the Legislature.

I have also been out visiting with business owners and individuals at local meetings to share my platform and to hear what the citizens have to say. It has been an amazing and dynamic time. There are only 52 days until the Primary and I am out working and walking to meet as many of you as I can.

If any of you would like to have me come and visit with you just drop a line and I will schedule a time.

Thank You for all your support!

This afternoon's walk in Gretna

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 04:48:00 +0000

Today wasn't quite as warm as they said it would be. However, we didn't let a bit of cold weather get in the way! Both Jacquie and I were able to visit with many of you in Gretna today and welcomed your comments, concerns, and especially your support. We look forward to meeting with more of you over the coming days and weeks. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer!

Walking Weather

noreply@blogger.com (Scott Price) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 22:41:00 +0000

This weekend looks to be great for getting out and meeting people. A few volunteers, my family, and myself will be out and we look forward to meeting with you. As always, if you have a question or would like to share your thoughts on what is going on in the legislature, by all means give me a call or send an email.
