Beyond the Two-Party System
Gene Siadek, a member of the Libertarian Party, painted a picture of a political landscape outside of the traditional two-party system that dominates American politics.
Lobbyists Get Their Voice
Wednesday morning Boys’ Staters from all of the towns joined together to hear what the PACs (Political Action Committees) had to say. The PAC Fair gives these individual lobbying groups the opportunity to spread their message to other delegates and raise funds to support causes and the candidates who represent them. The various PACs are:
PAC for Economic Prosperity
Chairman: Zach Deal
(Corn) STALKERS
Co-Chairman: Nathan Rock
Co-Chairman: Austin Oerman
R.E.F.A. (Renewable Energy For All)

N.E.E.D. PAC (Nebraska Education)

Gun PAC

Delegates visit the National Guard Base
Tonight, Boys’ State Delegates visited the National Guard Base. We got up close and personal with some of the equipment that the Nebraska National Guard uses to protect Nebraska’s citizens and learned about what these men and women do every day in their jobs at the base.
