Nebraska Is Home

(En Español)

A Good Life for Everyone

As in years past, new immigration to Nebraska is bringing exciting opportunities and new neighbors to our communities. Nebraska Is Home is an effort by Nebraskans from all walks of life—business, education, community, and faith—who are proud of our welcoming state and who are working together to build Nebraska’s future.

We celebrate our shared values and recognize the great contributions new families bring to our communities, both economically as well as in the richness of our combined culture and traditions. It is for this reason that Nebraska Is Home supports community conversations about our shared values.

As a country, we have many times overcome what divides us. Through the community efforts of Nebraska Is Home, we look forward to working together to ensure our shared future, purpose, and prosperity. We are stronger together.

Nebraska. A good life for everyone.

Healing Fremont With A Picnic

 

OUR VIEW: It’s about community

Fremont Launch06/13/2009 - Courtesy and respect.

They are words we say often. But in today’s world, we see less and less of these qualities being exhibited.

One only has to read letters in this newspaper or comments on our Web site to see prime examples. Watching any of the 24-hour news channels or listening to almost any talk radio program will provide examples, too.

We as a society are too quick to comment, too quick to judge and too quick to be offended when someone disagrees with our point of view. Too often today the aim appears to divide, to create an us vs. them mentality.

It seems we’ve lost the ability to be civil; the ability to be neighborly.

We as a community have a chance to show we still can be courteous and respectful. That chance is by supporting the Nebraska Is Home Fremont campaign. Read the Full Op/Ed from the Fremont Tribune...
