		+
		+	Late in 2009, Senator Nelson responded to questions on whether he thought the cap-and-trade bills on climate change will pass Congress. He responded that they would not, stating that, “…I haven't been able to sell that argument to my farmers, and I don't think they're going to buy it from anybody else. I think at the end of the day, the people who turn the switch on at home will be disadvantaged." Nelson’s view on the cap-and-trade bills has put him at odds with other Democratic party leaders on climate change policy<br>

		+
		+	Defending his efforts to obtain earmarks in federal funding for Nebraska projects, Senator Nelson said to Nebraskans this spring that he will, “…make sure that some of the tax dollars you send to Washington are returned to your state for worthwhile projects here." Some of the earmarks include $60.6 million in funding for Department of Agriculture research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Innovation Campus. Some of the projects funded by the earmarks include energy and water development projects and health and children’s services.<br>

		+	Earlier in 2010, before its passing, Senator Nelson publicly announced his intention to vote for health care reform.

Lives will be saved and our health care system will reflect the better nature of our country.” <br>
