LINCOLN — A party that wants to put Americans and Nebraskans first is collecting signatures to secure a ballot line ahead of the November election.

The “America First Party” sponsor is Omaha Tribe Attorney General John Cartier, according to paperwork received Wednesday by the Secretary of State’s office.

The America First Party’s stated purpose is to “provide voters with a political organization committed to putting Americans and Nebraskans ahead of all others by cracking down on out-of-control government spending and wasteful foreign aid, getting tough on illegal immigrants, standing up against abortion, and rigidly defending the Second Amendment.”

In a statement, Cartier said, “People are angry and tired of the bulls—. The America First Party is here to give voters options.”
