(Debbie Landis/Action is Brewing) – Rumors have Harry Reid running around like crazy campaigning to allow Native Americans to build casinos on any property anywhere. Another little birdie has him campaigning to make internet gaming legal.
Somebody tell us why a US Senator from the state of Nevada, who can’t stand the smell of tourists and who has no issue with the President telling companies and conventions that visiting Las Vegas is frivolous, [...]
(Victor Joecks/NPRI) – Although the city of Las Vegas has one of the worst housing/building markets in the country, the Las Vegas City Council has a plan — to make things worse. A city council subcommittee is now considering a proposal to hike building permit fees by up to 70 percent.
The proposed ordinance calls for an increase of 65 percent to 70 percent in the fees for plan checks, building permits and inspections. Those fees [...]
(Jim Blockey) – Proof of this would be in the 1844 U. S. Supreme Court case of Vidal v. Girard’s Executors. In the unanimous decision Justice Joseph Story wrote in his commentary about the original meaning of the First Amendment,
“The real object of the First Amendment was not to much less advance Mohammedanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects (denominations) and to prevent [...]
(Adam Radman) – It appears that Democrats can’t help themselves when it comes to campaigning against the Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
Yesterday, the Dina Titus for Congress campaign attacked Joe Heck for signing the “no new taxes” Pledge with deliberately misleading information. The Pledge is used as a tool to protect against tax increases and to promote revenue-neutral tax reform. The lower taxes supported by the Pledge protect jobs. Tax increases don’t give anyone, anywhere a [...]
(Sue Lowden) – I got into the Republican primary for Nevada’s U.S. Senate race this year with one thing in mind: To defeat Harry Reid. Period.
And my commitment to that cause hasn’t waned one bit, despite some media reports to the contrary. As I said in my concession speech back on June 8, I accept the decision of Nevada’s Republican primary voters. I congratulated Sharron Angle on her win that [...]
(NN&V Staff) – Chuck Muth and Dan Burdish of Citizen Outreach, Janine Hansen of the Independent American Party, and Debbie Landis of the Anger is Brewing tea party organization plan to file a lawsuit in Carson City today in an effort to force the Nevada Secretary of State to remove Tea Party of Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Scott Ashjian from November’s ballot for failure to comply with Nevada Revised Statutes.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs in [...]
(Jim Blockey) – There is nothing more important than taking education back to where it was. There are many times in life that we need to take a step backwards in order to be able to move forward. As far as education is concerned this has never been more true than now.
As I laid out in my book, “Teachers… It Ain’t Your Fault,” socialists like John Dewey and G. Stanley Hall had [...]
(Karen Gray/NPRI) – All across America, elected officials are required to file personal financial disclosure reports and ethics-acknowledgment statements. Both are intended to promote public integrity.
The financial disclosure reports, usually annual, remind officials of their financial interests and help them avoid conflicts of interest. The ethics-acknowledgment statements — forms stating he or she has read and understands the state’s ethics standards and recognizes his or her obligation to keep abreast of any new amendments — [...]
(Ellie Lopez-Bowlan) – Many Republican Hispanics from around the country have been outraged by Sen. Harry Reid’s Aug. 10 comments. The consensus is that the senator is out of touch with the evolution of the Hispanic vote. We choose a party for the same reasons as others. The issues that affect other individuals also impact Hispanics. Personally, I don’t know why any Hispanic would vote for a person who would question his or her freedom [...]
(Eric Morelli) – As the economic downturn has devastated the state of Nevada we can no longer tolerate business as usual in Carson City. We need a legislature that will help to create the conditions to bring our economy back to life and encourage businesses to produce jobs.
My name is Eric Morelli and I’m running for Nevada State Assembly in District 3.
Nevada’s hard-working families and businesses have been decimated by this economy. More [...]
