An open letter to Nevadans--

"If you turn a deaf ear or a blind eye to corruption, you are just as guilty as the perpetrators committing the injustice."

An open letter to Nevadans--  "If you turn a deaf ear or a blind eye to corruption, you are just as guilty as the perpetrators committing the injustice." Most of you know who I am.  What you may not know-is that Nevada is ranked the fifth most corrupt state in the Union.   I have been exposing corruption in this State since 1998, starting with former Clark County Commissioner Erin Kenny.  In 2004, I joined the "Veterans In Politics," becoming President in 2005 and changing the name to "Veterans In Politics International ('VIPI')," after the creation of Chapters in several states and Canada.  I have been fighting corruption since 1998, and in so doing-became a target of the corrupt.  I have been offered financial "benefits," received death threats against myself and my family, faced fact-absent, baseless gossip and rumors proffered as attempts to discredit me, attempts to undermine my organization through the establishment of other groups using nearly identical names and infringing upon the good-will and rapport VIPI has earned, and exposed high-profile, unethical abuses of campaign/election laws used as "currency" for organizational endorsements.   I have faced corruption, and exposed corrupters, because of my endless love for this Country, State, and our Community.  My civil service is my commitment to protecting our citizenry at Home, must like I served to protect our citizenry abroad-when I served six years in the United States Marine Corps, six years in the United States Army, and during my deployment in the first Gulf War.  The enemy of the people is not always a combatant; it is sometimes our trusted electorate (or those serving below them).  I continue to commit my life to serving you by offering protection against deceit, unfairness, and misappropriation of trust and money.  Where I cannot protect with prevention, I seek to protect by exposure.   I have championed for Veterans' rights tirelessly and endlessly, despite facing attacks upon my integrity by persons aggrieved by exposure for their false promises, unethical behavior, and attempts to mislead their constituents.  I have testified and lobbied before our Legislature for the creation of a Veterans Court, to protect Service Connected Disabilities Benefits, sought placement of a Veteran "designation" on the Nevada driver's license in an effort to deescalate potential situations during detainments by law enforcement, and lobbied for a mandatory Critical Incident Training for police officers.   I served as a two-term, board member appointed by Governor Jim Gibbons, for the Southern Nevada Veteran Cemetery Advisory Board.  I am the third person in the State to receive Governor Brian Sandoval's appointment as Nevada's Veteran of the Month.  I have lobbied in Washington, D.C. for the creation of a Veterans Insurance Plan to afford veterans the ability to seek treatment from private healthcare providers due to the lack of a VA Hospital in Southern Nevada.  I lobbied the Clark County Commission for a USO or military hospitality lounge at McCarran airport.  I created the first ever Proclamation to the United States Marine Corps with the Las Vegas City Council.  I lobbied the Las Vegas City Council for awareness and to end discrimination against the Marine Riders, and the Clark County Board of School Trustees to change their bylaws and name a school after a fallen Nevada Veteran.   My list continues and is too large to list each and every act I have done to support Nevada Veterans, and the community as a whole-this is because I have dedicated my life to this service.  I have helped educate voters on candidates by organizing videotaped interviews (open to the public), and by hosting live radio show programs.  I have hosted the Veterans In Politics talk show for the past eleven (11) years, motivated by the opportunity to educate the public on candidates and encouraging the listeners to be involved in the political landscape.  My involvement with Veterans In Politics International is my honor, and I serve without pay.  I take seriously my duties, making friends and enemies.  I have been the first to admit and rectify mistakes that have been made when candidates have won the support of Veterans In Politics' endorsement through misrepresenting themselves and their commitment to this Community.  After learning that an individual has used our organization to misrepresent themselves to the public, we have humbly shared our error with the public and given the individual an opportunity to explain themselves.  As you may guess, we are not often taken up on this opportunity because these individuals hoped their behavior would have gone undiscovered.  My loyalty is to justice, fairness, and truth-not people who disrespect these fundamental values at the expense of our Community. I have a very lengthy track record of community involvement.  Some candidates only get involve in the community when they need your vote.  They make no time outside of this, tending to their personal lives and ignoring the concerns and needs of the Community until they stand to gain from listening.  Some incumbents lose the true meaning of a "Public Servant," becoming self-involved, and corrupt with their newly found power and money.  They lie to the face of their voters, going directly against your will, feeding you with rhetoric aimed to confuse you.  Can you imagine what is done behind your back?    I have been consistently involved since 2003, believing I can bring about change to make a better Community for all.  I could not have done this without the help and dedication of many Nevadans who share a similar commitment to restoring honor and faith in those serving in public offices.  I hope you will join me as I continue this crusade in the Assembly, working together for a better Nevada. While my candidacy is for Nevada State Assembly District 13, I will be one of 42 votes that will affect everyone in this Great State.  My commitment to leadership and transparency will continue and I pledge to open the minds and ears of the other 41 voting assembly members so that your voices can be heard.   I am asking for your support.  We cannot continue the same path, with the same people, and the same poor decisions and expect a different result.  I have proven my ability to bring together a diverse community, and have earned credibility for my dedication to fairness.  My dissenters may categorize me as aggressive and harsh when exposing immorality-however, that is the type of representative you need to make sure your concerns are being heard.  I will fight for you, I already have been-you just may not have known until now.  I welcome an opportunity to meet and speak with you at any time.  I am confident that I will earn your support.  Thank you.

News you can share: 4-4 Supreme Court decisions, Obamacare successes, and new climate data

Diane, you're one of the best messengers we've got in this movement. Here's some recommended reading that's easy to share. Split decision turns up heat on Senate to find ninth justice for the Supreme Court Kansas City Star // Dave Helling The U.S. Supreme Court issued a simple one-sentence ruling this week in a case involving a Raymore bank and two Kansas City area developers. The particulars of the legal dispute drew little attention. But the manner of the decision made national news: for the first time since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, the nation's highest court split 4-4 on a case. The tie meant lower court decisions would remain intact, but there would be no formal legal guidance for similar disputes to come. Six years later, 'Obamacare' gets credit for successes MSNBC // Steve Benen Exactly six years ago tomorrow, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, vowing that the landmark reform effort would reduce the nation's uninsured rate while bringing renewed health security to tens of millions more. By every metric, "Obamacare" has delivered on its goals. Scientists Warn of Perilous Climate Shift Within Decades, Not Centuries New York Times // Justin Gillis The nations of the world agreed years ago to try to limit global warming to a level they hoped would prove somewhat tolerable. But leading climate scientists warned on Tuesday that permitting a warming of that magnitude would actually be quite dangerous. The likely consequences would include killer storms stronger than any in modern times, the disintegration of large parts of the polar ice sheets and a rise of the sea sufficient to begin drowning the world's coastal cities before the end of this century, the scientists declared. The Unemployment Rate for Veterans Is the Lowest in Seven Years Wall Street Journal // Jeffrey Sparshott The unemployment rate for American veterans fell to the lowest level in seven years in 2015, a reflection of an improving jobs market alongside programs to put servicemen and women to work. The unemployment rate for all veterans was 4.6% last year, the Labor Department said Tuesday, matching the rate in 2008. Vice President Biden Rips Supposed 'Biden Rule' NBC News // Corky Siemaszko The vice president dismissed the so-called "Biden Rule" on judicial nominee hearings during election years Thursday and insisted that President Barack Obama's pick for the Supreme Court should get a Senate hearing. "It's frankly ridiculous...there is no Biden Rule," Vice President Joe Biden said in a speech at the Georgetown University Law Center. Biden said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republican leadership has been "quoting selectively" from a speech he made in 1992 about Supreme Court nominations during an election year to justify their refusal to even consider Judge Merrick Garland -- President Barack Obama's nominee to fill the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Wind and solar are growing at a stunning pace (just not yet enough to stop climate change) Vox // Brad Plumer There's great news and gloomy news on climate change in this hefty new report on wind, solar, and other renewables from the UN and Bloomberg New Energy Finance. First, the confetti-tossing: Renewable energy -- mainly solar and wind -- has been growing at an astounding pace worldwide. Last year, countries plunked down $286 billion on renewable energy investments, twice what they spent on coal and gas. For the first time ever, renewables made up half of all new electric capacity installed worldwide, with 118 gigawatts coming online. Next time someone says renewables are a niche market, send them this PDF. If you're not interested in receiving these Truth Team updates, just let us know.

Trump Mocks Appearance of Cruz's Wife in Second Twitter Attack Ted Cruz branded Donald Trump a "sniveling coward" Thursday as the feud between the Republican presidential contenders over their wives took a nastier turn. After an earlier and vague threat to "spill the beans" about Heidi Cruz, Trump stoked the spat on Twitter when he retweeted side-by-side images of Cruz's wife, with an unflattering grimace, and his wife, Melania, in a glamorous pose. Rudy Guiliani: Hillary Clinton 'founding member' of Islamic State Guiliani said Clinton's role as secretary of state in the Obama administration when the Islamic State rose to prominence in the Middle East made her complicit in the reign of the terror group -- also identified as ISIS, ISIL and Daesh. News, Commentary, Discussions Alito steps up for the Little Sisters There was another notable change during yesterday's oral argument: the role of the court's most vocally conservative justice, in which Scalia was cast for decades, was now being played by Justice Samuel Alito. France arrests man in advanced stages of terror plot A Frenchman in the "advanced stages" of a plot to attack the country was arrested Thursday northwest of Paris and security forces locked down the area during a major search, France's interior minister said. Obama complicates anti-sanctuary effort in Texas The Obama administration's switch to a less aggressive approach to working with local jails on immigration enforcement poses a quandary for lawmakers wishing to ban so-called sanctuary cities. Fighting terror: Refugee realism Days before the terror attacks in Brussels, the House Judiciary Committee passed legislation that would tighten the screening of refugees in the United States and transfer to Congress the authority on setting quotas. The Primary of the Unbound Delegates The elections to select the Republican presidential nominee are officially scheduled to end on June 7. That's a big day when five states vote -- California, New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana and New Mexico. Obamacare coverage costs rising Expanded health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's signature legislative legacy, will cost the government more, according to an official study released Thursday.
