Nebraska’s governor on Monday issued a pro-meat declaration after the governor of neighboring Colorado recently encouraged people to avoid animal products for one day a week.
The Associated Press reported that Gov. Pete Ricketts (R) accused Colorado’s governor of orchestrating a “direct attack on our way of life” and issued a proclamation declaring this Saturday “Meat on the Menu Day” during a press conference at a meat shop in Omaha.
“That is a direct attack on our way of life here in Nebraska,” Ricketts said, noting that beef production is his state’s largest industry.
“If you were to get rid of beef in our country, you would be undermining our food security, an important part of a healthy diet, and also destroying an industry here in our state that’s very important,” Ricketts added.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
