Our Time To Act

Dear Friends of Equal Opportunity-

Today the Lincoln Journal Star editorial board published a strong statement urging Nebraska voters to VOTE NO on Initiative 424 this November.

Please take a moment to forward this message to others in your address book. We have been outspent 2-1 by our opponents thus far and we need your help to spread our positive message.

Highlights:

"Initiative Measure 424 on the Nov. 4 ballot would strip away important tools for preserving equal opportunity in Nebraska. The Journal Star editorial board recommends a vote against the proposal....The crux of the debate is whether giving "preferential treatment" is justified in order to meet goals such as giving an equal chance to ethnic groups that are underrepresented in universities and in some workplaces, or to create a more stimulating academic environment and a more effective work force....A wiser course of action is to protect the ability of employers and university officials to make fair decisions on hiring and admissions. A wide variety of Nebraska organizations, ranging from the Lincoln and Omaha Chambers of Commerce to the Nebraska State Education Association to University of Nebraska Board of Regents, opposes the measure. The Journal Star editorial board stands with them. So should you."
