LINCOLN — Even lobbyists for the liquor industry agreed Wednesday that it was a good idea for the state to help establish an alcohol detoxification center near Whiteclay, Neb.

The lobbyists, though, said there were better ways to do that than earmark a portion of sales tax revenue generated by the 3.4 million cans of beer sold in the notorious, unincorporated town known as the “skid row of the Plains.” (more…)

Bravo regarding the clever “fire with fire” marketing approach employed by the group protesting Anheuser-Busch’s distribution of beer to Whiteclay, Neb. liquor outlets. There’s just one potential snag in their play on words: culture. (more…)

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – An American Indian activist and Nebraskans for Peace have challenged Anheuser-Busch to “distribute responsibly,” playing off the corporation’s advertising slogan of “drink responsibly.”

Activist Frank LaMere and members of Nebraskans For Peace stood across the street from the High Plains Budweiser distributorship in Scottsbluff as part of a protest Thursday. The group said Anheuser-Busch is not living up to its own advertising slogan by allowing sales of beer to liquor outlets in the border town of Whiteclay, south of the dry Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Efforst to stop alcohol flowing from Whiteclay, Nebraska to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation moved to the Panhandle today, but protestors did not get the answers they were seeking.

Having been unsuccessful in attempts to blockade beer from entering the Pine Ridge Reservation from Nebraska, protestors took a different tack Thursday. Native American activists and members of Nebraskans for Peace picketed outside the Scottsbluff Budweiser distributorship, seeking the help of Anheuser-Busch in dealing with issues north of Whiteclay, including a reduction in alcohol-related deaths.

Beer is not the root problem on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Nevertheless, Nebraskans for Peace is trying to pressure beer distributors from doing business in nearby Whiteclay, Nebraska. Pine Ridge has a lot of issues with alcoholism, but it’s a symptom of a much larger problem, and making the length of their beer run longer won’t solve it. Certainly there must be a way to help these people out of poverty without infringing the rights of others. (more…)

No firewater for you, Chief.

White racists in Nebraska are stirring up trouble for the Indians this week.

The malt-liquor industry, drunk on high-octane sales to the black hip-hop nation, has set its sights on the Latino youth market

A LITTLE MORE than a year ago, a small article that appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch should have sent shock waves through the local Latino population. But few folks in these parts read the St. Louis papers, and even if they did, fewer still would have recognized the article’s significance. But its full effects, when finally felt, will almost certainly have a devastating impact in the backyards and bars of the barrios of Sonoma County and other California communities.

St. Louisbased Anheuser-Busch brewers announced that with the introduction of a new brand called Hurricane, it was entering the malt-liquor sales wars in earnest. (more…)
