Bipartisan Support for Bring Jobs Home Act?

July 12, 2012 1 Comment

Earlier today at Senator Heller’s office in downtown Las Vegas a large group of Nevada’s labor community came out to sincerely ask for the Senator’s support for the “Bring Jobs Home Act” which he and Senator Reid are scheduled to vote on next week. It is a common sense bill that would close tax credit [...]

Dean Heller Votes Against Hispanic Ambassador – Asks For Hispanic Vote

June 14, 2012 1 Comment

Dean Heller has been trying real hard lately to massage his image with Hispanic voters in Nevada. He wants Latinos to forget his long record of unfriendly rhetoric, votes against bills like the DREAM Act, and general disregard for the issues that matter most to their community. The latest evidence is a no vote for [...]

Nevada Conservation League to Senator Heller: Put Nevada ahead of Big Oil Profits

February 3, 2012 1 Comment

Big Oil continues to solidify its position as the most profitable companies in the history of the world while politicians, including Nevada’s Senator Dean Heller, send billions in taxpayer dollars to the industry.

GOP is blind to the American Worker

October 20, 2011 6 Comments

Shaun Donovan, the secretary of the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department, wrote a guest column in the Las Vegas Sun today about the need of Congress to act on President Obama’s Jobs bill. Not only does Mr. Donovan think Congress should act, but a majority of Americans do as well and those Americans should [...]

Dean Heller <3 Big Oil, But Not Working Class Nevadans

September 19, 2011 1 Comment

This was the scene outside Dean Heller’s Las Vegas office today. While Dean Heller continues to oppose anything he considers “not good enough“, meaning not painful enough for working class Nevadans, our country faces deep problems. This isn’t the first time Heller has felt the heat from his constituents, and I doubt this will be [...]

August 3, 2011 No Comment

Lesson Learned: If We Don’t Like It, Then We Must Change It. A MoveOn protest formed Downtown yesterday, and I was there for it.

Ad Targets Dean Heller on Debt Ceiling Talks

July 28, 2011 2 Comments

As the deadline approaches for the United States of Amnesia to raise its debt ceiling or default on its own obligations like some kind of deadbeat, a new ad will air tomorrow in Reno that urges residents to consider what it might be like if their social security checks, veterans’ benefits or military pay don’t [...]

Dean Heller’s Hat Trick Against Seniors and Jobs

July 23, 2011 19 Comments

Congresswoman Shelley Berkley held a press conference today with some Nevada seniors to draw the public’s attention to the fact that Dean Heller voted for the third time to kill Medicare. This vote is particularly bad considering it went further than the previously proposed cuts, adding Social Security to the victim list. It’s a good [...]

Senator John Ensign’s Last Laugh

April 21, 2011 1 Comment

By now, everyone has heard that Ensign is resigning his senate seat effective May 3, 2011. At first glance, his retirement announcement might seem like he finally gets it, that he acknowledges his actions were unbecoming the office he represents and his resignation is a fitting and just consequence. But no, that’s not what it’s about. Ensign just pulled the scoop of the decade.
