The executive committee of Buffalo County Democrats wants to clarify its role as the minority party after the last election. The Hartley Burr Alexander quotation above the main entrance of the Nebraska State Capitol serves as our guiding principle: The salvation of the state is watchfulness in the citizen.

Watchfulness, and our responsibility as citizens to work for a more noble life, directed Alexanders thoughts and guides our actions. We do not believe that we need to sit down and be quiet and accept the results of the last election. Instead we see our role as watchfulness.

The four major goals of our Buffalo County Democratic Party are:

- Be good stewards of the environment by working to promote clean, sustainable, and affordable energy.

- Provide excellent educational opportunities especially through our public education system for all Nebraskans.

- Maintain a fair wage for all hard working Nebraskans.

- Protect the civil rights of all Nebraskans.

Recent discussions at the local, state and national levels have caused local citizens to become concerned. As a result of these concerns, these citizens, from a wide spectrum of political affiliations Democrats, Republicans and non-partisans have organized demonstrations on womens rights, public education and immigration.

While Buffalo County Democrats were not instrumental in organizing these events, many of our members did participate. These demonstrators were local and unpaid and committed to positive change.

Buffalo County Democrats will continue to be watchful. When issues arise that we feel are against the best interests of Nebraskans, we, as the loyal opposition, will take action. We will do this by contacting our elected representatives by orchestrating and setting up phone banks and letter writing campaigns. We will also participate in peaceful public demonstrations to raise awareness.

The one thing we will not do is sit down and be quiet.
