**BEEMER, NE** – A letter circulating in Northeast and North Central Nebraska has raised concerns about the policies of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Nebraska native. The letter, penned by an anonymous author who claims to have recently moved from Minnesota to Nebraska due to dissatisfaction with Walz’s leadership, presents a scathing critique of the governor’s record.

The author accuses Walz of enacting policies that “fundamentally changed Minnesota” for the worse, citing several examples:

* **Gun Control:** The author claims Walz is pro-gun control and allows authorities to remove guns from homes without due process.
* **Abortion:** The letter alleges Walz supports abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy and prohibits parental involvement for minors seeking abortion. It also criticizes the lack of medical treatment and reporting requirements for babies surviving abortions, claiming eight babies were left to die between 2019-2023.
* **Transgender Rights:** The author condemns Walz’s support for “trans” surgeries and sanctuary state policies for transgender individuals. They also take issue with the governor’s stance on minors seeking counseling for “gender” confusion and his alleged attempt to take jurisdiction over children whose parents refuse “trans” surgeries.
* **Education:** The letter criticizes Walz’s support for Critical Race Theory curriculum and explicit sex-ed in K-12 schools. It also accuses him of mismanagement leading to fraud in the “Feeding Our Future” program, costing taxpayers $250 million.
* **Immigration:** The author condemns Walz’s policy of providing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants without distinguishing marks and argues this allows them to register to vote. They also criticize the governor’s decision to offer two years of free college tuition to children of undocumented immigrants earning less than $80,000.
* **Taxes:** Despite a $18 billion surplus, Walz has raised taxes instead of implementing tax cuts, according to the letter.
* **Foreign Policy:** The author highlights Walz’s interactions with an extremist Muslim cleric who celebrated the 2023 attack on Israel. The letter also claims Walz donated $100,000 to the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.
* **COVID-19 Response:** The author criticizes Walz’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, pointing to his implementation of mandates that restricted individual liberties. They also highlight the governor’s decision to deem liquor stores “essential” while restricting access to churches, funerals, schools, and hospitals.

The letter concludes with a call to action, urging Nebraskans to vote and prevent a “Harris/Walz presidency” which it claims would be disastrous for the country.

This letter has sparked debate in Nebraska, with some residents echoing the author’s concerns while others dismiss it as partisan rhetoric. The debate raises questions about the influence of national politics in local communities and the role of social media in shaping public discourse.
