Pledge of Allegiance
Announcements: 
1) Legislative update:
    AB95 - Domestic Wells is tabled for the time being. This would force farmers, ranchers and those living where there are no sidewalks to put a meter on their well and could be forced to restrict water use down to 25% of normal in a drought year.
   AB123 - Mandatory Vaccines has died without being brought for a vote.
   AB186 - Nat'l Popular Vote has been passed and is expected to be signed by Gov Sis.  Call the Capitol and leave a msg for the Gov, urging him not to sign or to veto, 775-684-2670 or write at 
http://gov.nv.gov, where you will click on the Contact Form, close to the top of the home page.

3) Very important meeting of Washoe County School Board, 425 E. 9th St. (just east of Evans). Discussing the adoption of the LGBTQ sex ed concept for grades 4-12.  This change will include progressive ideology on gender identity while teaching a belief system that may differ from the values of families in our communities.   
     Parents and families rejected a progressive sex education curriculum in WCSD and the state in 2017 and the legislature chose not to vote on similar legislation this year.  Yet WCSD is still pushing this.  Now it is time for the parents and community members to voice their opinion.
     If you cannot attend there is still a chance to be involved.  All concerns should be shared online, 
boardmembers@washoeschools.net.  If that link doesn't work, please write each of the Trustees at their own email addresses.

The program will be several local legislators, dissecting what this legislative session was all about. $25/with reservations; $30/walk-ins.  Please RSVP at

Discussion:
Vin Keenan - DC legislative update and how you can be a citizen activist from the comfort of your keyboard.  There doesn't appear to be a way to contact Dr. Carson directly. Please write Congressman Amodei and the White House to let Dr. Carson know what a great job he is doing.
Issue #1 - HUD Secretary Ben Carson is doing a phenomenal job. There are 32,000 public housing units and per current law, illegal aliens are not allowed to use these units. But they are using them. Carson has a HUD eviction plan!
There doesn't appear to be a way to contact Dr. Carson directly. Please write Congressman Amodei and the White House to let Dr. Carson know what a great job he is doing.
Issue #2 - Merit-based immigration reform is precisely what this country needs.
Issue #3 - Hunter Biden was 'stuffing his pockets with foreign money' while Dad was VP. Excellent expose by Peter Schweitzer.  On the very day Trump was elected, 5 British senior officials resigned... were they dirty and did they know what was coming?

HERE for Vin's full report and contact info to share your opinion.

Joe Morabito - the importance of Trump's reelection.  We old white people can win elections just by ourselves. We must expand our horizons if we want Trump to win in NV. Key points to ponder:
   1) 50% of the population pays no taxes, which is the base of Socialism.
   2) The history of socialism isn't taught in schools, but it has failed everywhere it's been tried.
   3) We have to learn to play 'identity politics' (i.e. appeal to different groups by learning what drives them). Some of these groups are pro-life, Christians, working Hispanics, veterans, law enforcement, blue collar workers, private union members (not public). Trump does a good job addressing these groups in his rallies, but we must also address them in our day-to-day conversation. Dems have this figured out with all their single-issue supporters.
        Trump only won by 77,000 votes.
        There are 100 massive companies controlling 50% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). All the rest of US companies combined control about 10% and the balance is controlled by foreign entities.
         Did you know the debit food stamp program is run by JP Morgan Chase exclusively?  That is the kind of monopoly that needs to be broken up.
         We must, as a party, adopt a modified version of abortion. There will be abortion, so get over it and draw a line in the sand and fight it after the heartbeat is heard (7-8 weeks).
         Extreme right-wing conservatism cannot win elections any longer. Trump's 'Populist" Republicanism can win, so we must embrace that and celebrate it.
         Joe can be heard every Thursday, 2:00-3:00 pm on 1180 AM on your local radio dial. His show is called CEO Business Mind, but being a political junkie, he inserts politics into his business discussion all the time.

David W. Carter - Due to health and financial stresses, David will not seek reelection to the State Board of Education, which handles K-12 education.  There are 4 elected seats on the Board, which meets 9 times/year, which take up most of one day.  There are optional committees to serve on and sometimes it is necessary to attend the Legislative Session to testify at a hearing.  The Teachers' Union is present, attends some sessions and makes presentations.  He is giving us a heads up, in case we or someone we know might want to consider a run.

Ken Koeppe - If you want reading material, Vol. 1 & 2 of the Mueller Report is online at Amazon.com for $9-10.

Jeanne Herman - There is another issue she wants to inform about:  we are losing our County Manager, John Slaughter in a month. They are in the "appointment stage" and had a list of 11 - all local - candidates.  Commissioner Herman urged them to get this right, as the wrong decision could cost the County millions. They will have to hire a head-hunter to find candidates.

RS2477 - currently there is access to public lands that are not easily accessible. The Feds are making this increasingly difficult, especially since 1976.  RS2477 is a federal bill that confirms historic right-of-ways that existed prior to October 21, 1976. Without this bill, it would get to the point of no camping, hiking, walking, off-roading, trailblazing on any of those public lands.  US Congressman Tom O'Halleran of AZ has written a RS2477 and Congressman Steven Horsford is considering co-sponsoring it.  According to Commissioner Herman, every Nevadan will benefit from this legislation. We need to write Congressman Horsford and encourage him to sign on and sponsor it.  Read the correspondence about the O'Halleran bill 
HERE.

Paul Larson - reminded us that Planned Parenthood was created by Margaret Sanger to eliminate the Black race.  And they accuse us of being racists!?!

Next Meeting - Wednesday, June 12, same time, same place.
