CCRP Two Weeks in a Glance: June 25, 2025

On June 14th, the protesters returned to Carson City. Some of our true patriots decided to stand for President Trump and Flag Day. It was fascinating to see a cross-section of our deteriorating society.  No Kings Day is bizarre because in 1776, we made it clear to the entire world that the United States rejects any rule by a King. What is comical is if their claims were true, these people would all be in jail or worse.  President Trump posted a thank you for protesting for him. 

With his continuous wit, he stated he was afraid a King would take his place. The vile obscenities were over the top.  One woman threatened to push one of us in front of a moving car.  This photo depicts a few scenes of the protest.  The woman in these photos stood right before me for several minutes, screaming F… Trump, F… ICE, F… You.  The red head is calling for the assassination of President Trump.

The picture of the parking lot is right behind McFadden Plaza, at noon, the height of the protest.

Many empty parking spots were available, demonstrating that these demonstrators are being bused into our city.  What is frustrating is how much income businesses lose with these uninvited guests.  My group grew disgusted by the people's bizarre behavior, so we went into Firken and Fox for lunch and to give them business.   

Unfortunately, the No Kings protestors are coming back on the 4th of July as we celebrate our Nation’s Birthday. CCRP is taking our elephant to the Fallon Parade, so we will not be in Carson City. We will not be escaping protestors; they will also be in Fallon. It would be great if the Carson City patriots came out and peacefully celebrated our Country. We have signs at our office if you need to pick some up. Protesters surrounded a few of us, and we found that chanting the Lord's Prayer sends them away, so there is no need to engage them.  They are not interested in having a discussion. Contact me to discuss a peaceful plan if you want to organize people.  We want them to know they are not welcome to behave badly in our wonderful Carson City.  These are paid agitators.  We are calling all patriots to celebrate our Nation on the 4th of July.  

Governor, Lombardo, is working through the results of the 83rd Nevada legislative session. We need to be very appreciative of his hard work fighting for us. The link below is the list of all the bills he had to veto because they were horrid for Nevada and it demonstrates the how important it is that we take back the legislature from the Dems. So far, he has vetoed 77 bills, with more coming. Here is the link to read and review what bills have been vetoed so far along with his rationale.  https://gov.nv.gov/Newsroom/vetos/2025_Veto_Messages/ 

General Monthly Meeting: Our next general membership meeting will be on Thursday, June 26, at the Casino Fandango, 3800 S. Carson St., Craft 55 room. We will have a social time from 6:30 to 7 p.m., and the meeting will start promptly at 7 p.m.  Our guest speaker will be Assemblyman PK O’Neill. PK will be discussing the 83rd Legislative Session. 

Also, Jim Hindle, the Nevada GOP's 1st Vice Chairman, will be joining us and has an update on work going on in the NVGOP.   

The public is welcome, and we would like to see you there.  If you want to become a voting member, our website has very straightforward steps.  Our new members will receive a welcome package when voted in. We look forward to seeing you this Thursday Night, June 26, doors open 6:30. 

 The “Our Constitution is Alive' class is an 11-week course that continues on Monday nights at 6:00 p.m. We, the People, need to know the laws of the US Constitution. The highly informative class is held at Calvary Chapel church in their fellowship hall. Calvary Chapel is located at 1635 E. Clearview Rd, Carson City. You may buy the study guide for $20 for the first class that evening. This class is excellent; you will learn interesting facts about the US Constitution and how the laws affect your lives. Snacks and drinks are available during the class.   You may attend the class if you want to check it out. 

This coming Monday, we will be covering the First Amendment.  For more information, call 775 841-1800. This class is held every Monday for the next 4 weeks; you are not obliged to attend every class. 

First Friday (July 4th): Is cancelled due to the 4th of July holiday.  We are going to Fallon to participate in their parade.  You are welcome to join us.  We need walkers and will all participate in the Frey Ranches BBQ.  Let us know if you want to join us, and we will carpool.  CCRP - 775 841-1800  

Movie Night: July 10, at the Casino Fandango, Craft 55 Room.

"Average Joe" tells the true story of a high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost.

Doors open at 5:30PM with the movie starting at 6PM.

We are asking for a $10 donation to view this well-reviewed film. Bring your family and friends for a fun evening. We have popcorn and candy to create the whole movie experience.

When you attend, you may update your voter registration. By joining us, you continue supporting the Republican Party of Carson City. We greatly appreciate your support.

First Friday: On August 1st,  our First Friday will travel to one of our favorites, the White House Cocktail Bar at the corner of Stewart St. & Telegraph St. We will supply appetizers; they always have a food truck there for more delicious food.  We will be there from 6 to 9 PM, but it is fun to stay a little longer, enjoying sitting outside during the summer evenings.   

August 23 for the CCRP Lazy Days of Summer BBQ. We look forward to hosting a fun BBQ for all of you this summer at the Governor's Mansion. It's lining up to be an entertaining evening. 

Our Caterer is a "Catered Affair" that serves delicious food, and the Dirt Road Ramblers will play a wide range of music for our fun event.  And don’t forget to wear your most unique Cowboy Hat for our contest.

Our tickets cost $80 a person, and we have tables of 10 for $800. Tables of 10 will receive a pitcher of Margaritas.  You may purchase tickets at our office or online using this QR Code.  This is going to be an enjoyable evening.

Fund Raising for Outreach. Now is the time to gear up for the 2026 election. We have taken on several projects to reach out to voters. Our immediate goal is to expand Outreach to New Republicans. We want to make sure they are excited and engaged for 2026. We need additional funds for mailings and small items with our logo imprinted. These new Republicans are essential for victory in 2026. We would appreciate donations towards our goal of $1,500, as this is important for the 2026 election. Checks can be made to the CCRP and mailed to the Carson City Republican Party, 1971 California Street, Carson City, NV 89701. You can also make donations on our website, with the donate button, and at our office. Please indicate that the check is for outreach. Thank you very much in advance for your donations.

#ICommitToVotingInTheMidtermElection-2026                  

CCRP Two Weeks in a Glance: June 10, 2025

Many of us have been attending David Barton and Rick Green’s Wall Builders Constitution Alive Class on Monday night. As we go through the class, I find it astonishing how much we, the citizens of the United States, do not know or have forgotten about the Constitution. Our forefathers spent years writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to protect the citizens and America, and the majority does not know what the Constitution and Bill of Rights say and how our current government is abusing the laws. From what I understand, the law schools do not teach the Constitution; therefore, many of our Congressmen and Senators are not highly knowledgeable on this most critical subject.  

Do you remember which branches of government have the most power? You would not believe it based on the judicial branch's behavior, but the Executive Branch (the President) has the most power. The second is the Legislative Branch, and the least powerful is the Judiciary. At this point, the Judicial Branch seems to have taken control because we do not know the Constitution. In the Federalist Paper 78, Alexander Hamilton said, “The judiciary was the weakest branch, and not a threat to liberty if it remained in its proper jurisdiction.” The Executive and Legislative branches have the most power because they answer to their constituents. Judges were never to have lifetime appointments and are to be appointed for good behavior. Every day, there is a judge somewhere in a Democratic state playing politics that should be impeached, if we are following the Constitution. Impeachment is mentioned numerous times in the Constitution, and many judges have been impeached. Contradicting an act of Congress, displaying rudeness in the courtroom, profanity, and high judicial handiness are some of the crimes that judges have committed and were impeached for during our history. We see this every day in our country. The House of Representatives can impeach judges, but they don’t have the willpower, courage, or knowledge to do so.  Alexander Hamilton felt that impeachment is a bridle in the hands of the legislature.  In other words, if the House were to impeach a few judges, they would now start performing as the Judicial Branch should. Thomas Jefferson called “the impeachment a scarecrow, the more frequently impeachment hearings are held, the less frequently judges would have to be impeached.    

As you can see by just reading a little about the Constitution, there is so much we do not know.  I have attended three of our Constitution Classes and am enthralled with this information.  Frustrating as it may be, as I can now see, we are not following the constitution, but I want to learn more. Knowledge is power, and we must empower ourselves as well as our youth with this knowledge. We will again offer this Constitution Alive class in the fall. I recommend that you join us, and I will be there to continue to build his knowledge.  

Thank goodness the 83rd Legislature is coming to an end.  I want to thank Jim DeGraffenreid and Joshua Skaggs of the Nevada GOP for working night and day to fight off the despicable legislation the Leftist Democrats were trying to pass. Most of the bills were so far left that we would be California if it were not for Governor Lombardo. A few legislators told me it was just pure evil in that building.   

If you have been following us, you know I was very concerned about AB278, Muslim Heritage Month – July.  I am delighted to announce that on June 2, Governor Lombardo vetoed that bill.  As I write this today, our Governor has vetoed more than 56 of the insane bills the Democrats put forward. He promised to veto more bills this session than in the last, when he vetoed more than 90 of their insane bills. Assemblywoman Miller (who does not want to be called a 'woman' but a 'person', and that is one of their issues from the beginning of the session—your tax dollars) referred to several of us who testified in opposition to this bill as unpatriotic and not very Christian. Anyone who wants to further the Islamic religion (Muslim, is not a heritage, rather it is the followers of Islam) in our country does not have our country’s best interest at heart.  I ask Assemblywoman Miller, who is supposed to be working for us, who is the patriot?, especially when 90% of you opposed this bill.  

Elections have consequences.   Election is the rule. There is no sitting out the next election in 2026; we need you. #IPromiseToVote! 

Our Governor, Lombardo, has had a long legislative session. We need to be very appreciative of his hard work fighting for us.
