NE AG Jon Brunning Elected NAAG President

June 19, 2009 Colorado Springs, Colo.—Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning was unanimously elected yesterday by the members of the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) to become the Association’s 102nd president. “Attorneys general are uniquely situated to lead the way in building a stronger and safer future for our states and our families,” said President Bruning. “Serving as president of NAAG is an honor, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on issues that affect us on both the state and national level.” Elections were held June 17 during NAAG’s 2009 Summer Meeting, June 16-18, in Colorado Springs where nearly 200 participants, including 30 Attorneys General and their key staff, met to discuss critical state legal issues. President Bruning said that his presidential initiative, “Virtual World – Real Crime,” strives to shield children from sexual predators and protect consumers and businesses from fraud. “Predators and scam artists know how to utilize the latest technology to prey on kids and consumers. Real crime runs rampant in the virtual world. I urge my NAAG colleagues to join me and bring emerging trends to the forefront, harness new technology and better combat the crime and corruption that come with it,” said President Bruning. Bruning’s presidential term lasts for one year.

Mr Bruning needs to realize that there is other crime that needs to be dealt with. Although most can agree we need to protect out children from predators we also need to protect our communities from criminals and those who will not prosecute them, for any reason, including personal business partners.
When he sees that a county Attorney is refusing to uphold the law it is his job to take action.
