CARSON CITY REPUBLICAN PARTY

With the Chairman's Corner, read insight into the Chairman's Opinion and more information

CHAIR'S CORNER


ree

Thankfully, the Big Beautiful Bill was passed and signed into law on July 4th by President Trump.  President Trump made several promises during his campaign, and he is working to fulfill them: “Promises made, Promises Kept”. Key elements, such as no tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security for seniors, were highly reported as part of the legislation. However, several other key factors contributed to the significance of this monumental legislation. Finally, we will be updating our air traffic control systems, there are funds to finish the border wall, hiring thousands of new ICE Agents and Border Patrol agents, funding for the Golden Dome, and blocking illegal immigrants from receiving Medicaid. This is extremely important to improve the quality of life for American Citizens.   

With the walls being built along the border, and the continuous advertising about self-deporting, and ICE continually picking up illegals, the number of illegals is declining here in the US. It was reported that a week ago, ICE picked up 170 illegal Iranians. Thankfully, Florida offered Alligator Alcatraz (an unused publicly owned facility) and brought contractors together to complete it in record time. This should be a huge deterrent, with nothing but snakes, alligators, and those horrid mosquitoes that will eat you alive surrounding the detainment center. If I were going to be sent there, I would immediately take the offer to self-deport, pack my bags, and jump on the first flight out.  The Government is now using The Biden administration’s app, which was a tool to allow people to come into our country illegally so that they could apply for asylum, CBP (Customs and Border Protection), without even being interviewed. Now, the Trump Administration, as clever as always, is using the same app, only now it's CBP Home for self-deportation. Instead of living in fear of being picked up by ICE, they can plan to go home in a controlled situation, saying goodbye, not leaving all of their things behind, and the Government is giving them $1,000 to leave plus the ability to legally apply for entry. In my humble opinion, it just makes sense to go home in this dignified way, not in handcuffs or being held in a detention center. The New York Post and the NDTV reported that somewhere between 750,000 and a million people have already self-deported. In the first 100 days, ICE removed 65,682 illegal immigrants, and the number continues to increase every day.

Have you ever wondered how well Europe is dealing with the vast populations (mostly Muslim) it so humbly took in? While the Many European countries have had enough and want them to leave. While mainstream media will not provide detail reporting (https://www.hoover.org/research/migration-remaking-europe-there-workable-path-forward-continent), the economic & social stresses that this is causing is well documented. As we all look at Great Britain, the situation is alarming, and we all need to wake up to this reality. Here are some fascinating facts about some of these countries.  Sweden (https://www.government.se/government-policy/the-governments-priorities/migration-and-integration/about-the-governments-prioritisation-migration-and-integration/) has stated that it is undergoing a paradigm shift in its approach to immigration. As of 2026, they are offering families $34,000 to return home. They have stricter detention laws, which can last up to twelve months. They are proposing a snitch law, workers would report employers who hire illegals in their country, and there is much more. In other words, Sweden has had enough. Denmark is another

ree

country that has now decided to demolish the areas where the asylum seekers live and build more upscale homes.  If these people do not return home, their children, at the age of one, must attend daycare and learn about Danish history and customs.  If the family does not comply, they will be deported.  Italy and Germany have also tightened up their immigration laws. Germany is not as patient with protesters as we are.  I have seen some videos showing that Germany’s police do not have to take the abuse our officers do, Americans should take a page out of their police manual.  We need to wake up as Americans. We have people in this country now who believe the Quran should take the place of the Constitution.  Elections have consequences.  Vote our Values in 2026.  All Republicans must vote.   

Breana Owens, the owner of the Farmer’s Market, tried to have another person removed from the Farmer's Market on Saturday by the Sheriff’s Department. Drew Ribar, known for his videos, argued about his constitutional rights with the Sheriff's Department, and after quite a discussion, was allowed to stay.   Meanwhile, Owen’s has allowed the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a climate change organization, to operate in her Farmers’ Market.  If we are going to save the country, we must educate our citizens on our constitutional rights.   #Pledgetovote2026 - Voter Registration must be allowed! 

Don’t forget our upcoming events:       

  1. Movie night at the Casino Fandango, July 10, 6 to 8 PM. Joe, a true story about a coach wanting to pray with his Team. 

  2. CCRP Meeting on July 24, 6:30 at the Casino Fandango, Craft 55 Room

  5. Lazy Days of Summer BBQ Fundraiser at the Governor’s Mansion, August 23, 4 to 8 PM. You can buy tickets online or at the CCRP Headquarters. 

All the information is online at www.carsoncityrepublicans.com 

We are seeking sponsors for our youth table, which will feature 10 young people whom we have committed to having at every one of our major events. A table for 10 is $800. We are accepting funds for individual tickets.  We need the youth to be involved in our future leadership.   

 

Fundraising is a part of our ongoing daily efforts at CCRP.  It keeps our lights on and allows us to advance our Republican Conservative Values.  We are reaching out to new Republicans as well as non-partisan individuals to encourage them to be informed and engaged voters. We will be visiting many of their doors to talk with them directly, handing out our goody bags, which consist of a pocket constitution, American Flag Etiquette, and a refrigerator magnet with important information.  We need your help to perform these activities consistently.  Our Supporters can donate right on our website, or you can mail a donation to our Carson City Republican Party, 1971 California Street, Carson City, NV 89701.  Our sponsorships are as follows:                                                                          Major Donors, $1,000 per year; Carson City Boosters, $200 per year.   

Thank you in advance from the CCRP for your generosity; we couldn’t do it without you.

#Pledge to Vote in 2026 

 


 
 
 

ree

Saturday morning, my fellow volunteer and I ventured to Mill’s Park for voter registration. Once more, the farmers’ market is operating in the park’s pavilion, in a great location. For three years, we have requested to hold a NON-Partisan Voter Registration booth with the Farmer’s Market, and for three years, we have been denied. No politics is Breana Owens’ (the owner of the market) response.  

ree

This year, we decided to set up a table in the shade of a tree for voter registration in Mills Park.  Mills Park is a public park. Let this sink in: you, the taxpayers of Carson City subsidize the farmers’ market of Carson City. Bet you didn’t know your tax money supports some of the cost for Breana Owens' Farmer’s Market. Kathy and I were sitting by the Monument for 9-11, how ironic it is to have our freedom of speech shut down while by that monument. We were only speaking to people who approached us, we had a non-partisan Voter Registration sign on our table, and we were handing out pocket constitutions and American flags. We were a couple of hundred feet away from the Farmers Market, as my picture demonstrates. Ms. Owens came out onto the grass and told us we had to leave, that she had reserved the entire northeast end of the park, and we were not allowed to be there. I bet you didn’t know the Carson City taxpayers reserved all that portion of the park for the Farmers Market. At that point, I called the board of supervisors to ask if I had the right to be there, and a member confirmed that I did and that I should not move. Upon a more heated discussion regarding the fact that it’s a public park and there must be freedom of speech, Ms. Owens called the Sheriff’s department to have us removed. When the two deputy sheriffs arrived, they had a map that showed she had reserved the pavilion and all the grass area past the playground, extending up to the parking lot, including the playground. I told these young men that it was absurd and the only reason we would move was because they were very friendly and understood our viewpoint. My son-in-law is a police officer, and as I said, I didn’t want to add to their day, but this absurdity was not going to end. An additional point is that we are paying for this overzealous land grab for the entire summer. The Farmers’ Market is in the pavilion, not in the northeast section of the park. 

There is a call to boycott the Farmer’s Market, which would surely hurt Owens. I would prefer that you call Mayor Lori Bagwell (775-283-7144) and have her return the grass to the people.  I don’t want to see the Farmers Market hurt and prevent our neighbors from getting fresh fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, I do believe Owens plays partisan politics. The Farmer’s Market in Gardnerville gives the Republican Party a table inside free of charge for Voter Registration. We were willing to register people as non-partisan, as a public service to you, the people.  To save our country, we must educate the people and be sure they vote in 2026.  We wanted to register voters, and that would have been all parties. Most importantly, we are trying to educate our citizens by giving them pocket constitutions. I am very disappointed with the lack of concern for our voters in Carson City by Ms. Breana Owens the owner of the Farmer’s Market. If we are going to save the country, we must educate our citizens.  #Pledgetovote2026

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. 

ree

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.

ree

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/

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.

ree

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.
