Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is headed to Nebraska.

Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, will headline an Omaha rally Sunday afternoon to try to persuade U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson to change his mind on health care reform.

The rally will be at 3 p.m. at the Civic Auditorium Music Hall, 17th Street and Capitol Avenue. Doors will open at 2 p.m.

The rally was put together quickly Saturday after Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat, said he would support a health-care reform bill in the Senate.

Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Terry of Omaha is expected to attend, as well as state lawmakers and other elected officials.

The rally is being sponsored by Americans for Prosperity of Nebraska, a group opposed to President Barack Obama's health-care reform efforts.

People wishing to attend can RSVP at 402-219-3485 or email kurt.hammond@asphq.org

Thank you so much for confirming the mentality fo the huckster followers. Please keep posting.

There is a time and place to protest Huck’s record, but I dont think this is it. He’s on the right side on this issue.

Amen. I'm one of Huckabee's biggest critics, but he has his followers. If he can rally them to fight this evil I will applaud him.

Frankly, I would applaud Olbermann, Howard Dean, or any other insane liberal if they were to hold a rally to oppose Obamascare, so I can certainly give the Huckster an "atta boy!" here.

Satan's whole purpose in life is to divide and conquer. A baby's life (not to mention its mother's) is a lot more important than what you think (or I think for that matter) of Mike Huckabee. He is working for the pro-life cause of children and that is a good and positive thing. Are you pro-choice?

[Joe Boucher]

I’m hoping the whole state of Nebraska shows up to protest this Whore, Nelson.

Please sign Mike Huckabee’s "JUST SAY NO" petition to Senator Nelson here.

Well we know what kind of man Nelson is.

He has been bought. Now the question is will he stay bought.

Indeed! I have been praying the rosary since I awoke this morning (and every day since I can remember) that this nation buries Roe v Wade, and the sooner, the better. To quote Fr. Thomas J. Euteneur:

“We are reminded that even supposed political victories are temporary, and that the solution to these problems is not political, even if we have to keep up the political fight and our activist efforts,” said Father Euteneuer. “We are called to prayer, fasting and conversion… only God can put a stop to the horror of abortion now” --Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer

This is the biggie, the 60-votes-needed-for-cloture vote. Nelson can still vote against it and kill the bill.

Exhort him! Shame him! Call him back to duty!

Click here to go to Ben Nelson's web-based message system and leave a message. After you send the message, you can hit the "Back" button, get back on the message page and do it again. And again. And again.

Let's break down his damn servers.

Then: Click here to SIGN THE EMERGENCY PETITION asking Nelson to keep his promise and vote AGAINST the manager's amendment (abortion funding.)

Don't grow weary this late in the fight. Nelson hasn't voted yet.

I thought they already voted for cloture...what’d I miss?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Be warned before you attempt that that often many Senators and Congressmembers will only permit you to send such messages UNLESS you are a constituent of the same state or district, otherwise it may get directed to your own Senator or Congressmember (found that out some time ago when I tried to contact a member that wasn’t mine).

[PapaBear3625]

One ray of hope is that both Right and Left hate this bill (for different reasons). DU and NOW are strongly against it

[cbkaty]

Done....I urged him to be a statesman and a hero.....

Please keep messages positive...no matter how angry you happen to be now. There is time to get "real" angry.

[Eye of Unk]

I would print as much fake dollars bills that I can like full sized monopoly money and start tossing it around like confetti.

[mlizzy]

Thanks Mrs. Don-o -- I have signed, sealed, and delivered prayer, and will continue to do so.

St. Michael the Archangel ...

One word describes Nelson: Whore

One has to wonder the thoughts of the other "Girls", who gave their vote away for free, are thinking this morning?

The old adage rings true today, as it has forever:

Once you identified yourself as a whore, it is just a matter of setting the price.

[BelegStrongbow]

Done. Those complying here should be aware the Senator requires identifying information from you. You will be standing up without anonymity, so if you will do this, be brave and know that Satan will now know your name.

Personally, as an Anglican priest, I have found myself in his crosshairs already, so this was not that kind of challenge. I will stand for the safety and health of the preborn wherever and whenever I can. Pregnancy is a great blessing and never a curse.

[FreeperFlirt]

Hannity to soft on hucky...geez

[mlizzy]

Those complying here should be aware the Senator requires identifying information from you. You will be standing up without anonymity, so if you will do this, be brave and know that Satan will now know your name.

Those that do *not* stand up for life will be known by Satan (by name!) as well, so you might as well get God's "lift-ticket" now rather than take the devil's downward slope later on.:)

[GnuHere]

I think that’s the 1 AM Monday vote - there was a thread yesterday with a timetable.

[HarleyD]

I don’t support Huckabee but if I could I certainly would have turned up for this protest.
