Democrats Making News

We Can't Stop Now!

Legislative Updat

You know the saying...it ain't over till it's over.  And that's as true in the Nevada Legislature as anywhere else.  We must continue to speak up on these important bills to make sure they get through the legislative process and on to the books.  

Fair is Fair

This should be a no-brainer for Congressman Amodei

It is time to call or email Congressman Mark Amodei to tell him to join many of his Republican colleagues and business associations in Nevada in supporting the Marketplace Fairness Act.

The bill passed the U.S. Senate Monday by an overwhelming 69-27 margin and would allow states to require out-of-state retailers to collect the state sales tax due on Internet sales or merchandise sold through catalogs or other means.

This is one of those bills that has bi-partisan support and is favored by business groups like the Retail Association of Nevada.

State of the State

We must do better in Nevada

For all the wonderful, positive things we can say about living in Nevada, there remains a sad story behind a long list of statistics.  

Per-pupil funding, violence against women, mental health treatment, teen pregnancy, divorce, suicide, homelessness, lung cancer deaths...it goes on and on.

Sandoval Administration "Not Ashamed" of Patient-Dumping Scandal

Las Vegas, NV – This is rich.

Yesterday, in an all-too-rare moment of honesty from the Sandoval Administration, the Governor’s staff admitted to KTVN Action News they were not “ashamed” of the patient dumping scandal.

Sandoval’s staff even told KTNV that “it's possible that more questionable cases will surface as the state continues to investigate.”  Oh really?  No kidding.

Help Secretary of State Ross Miller Expand Voting Rights in Nevada!

 Secretary Miller promoted two bills to expand access to the electoral process in Nevada in testimony before a Senate committee this morning.  There are no Washoe County members on the committee, but it's not too early to let your Senators know you expect them to support the bills on the floor of the Senate.
