Two Weeks in a Glance; May 19, 2025

President Trump has more energy than any other President I have ever seen. Remember when he said," Are you tired of winning?" Every day of every week, President Trump is winning for the American People.

I believe most Americans were awestruck by how Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, & Qatar received our President. It was the most beautiful, with the Arabian horses flanking the beast (the car he travels in).

The Saudis treated President Trump with the ultimate respect of a great leader as did the UAE and Qatar. All three countries demonstrated that they respect the USA and finally have a US President that earns their respect.

If you did not have the opportunity to watch all of the fanfare of the incredible trip to the Middle East, this link gives you a quick overview of how our President is respected on the world stage. https://youtu.be/oIk47YstdRc?si=ghffX5iRfKmRobI5 and by all means listen to his speech in Saudi Arabia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oab4Gzt5tqA).

Last week was another winning week for Americans. The stock market was way up again as President Trump brought China to an agreement on the trade war. Yes, it is a temporary agreement, but as the rest of the world is coming to agreements on the tariffs, China will be forced into an agreement on a final deal.

We brought home the last American hostage held by Hamas in Palestine. ICE arrested 1,000 illegal immigrants in Florida in an operation called Tidal Wave. What does everyone think about reopening Alcatraz since the Judicial Branch wants to try and stop us from deporting illegals? I think if we reopen Alcatraz, many people will self-deport.

There are numerous victories, too many to mention, so I am including another link for the list of achievements our President has accomplished in just a week. Just think what could be achieved if those rogue judges would get out of the way. President Trump is Winning for Americans. https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/05/what-they-are-saying-trillions-in-great-deals-secured-for-america-thanks-to-president-trump/?utm_source=wh_social_share_button

Last Friday was manic Friday as the Democrats worked through the day and night to get all their Democratic bills out of their committees by Friday midnight. I say the Democratic bills because they allowed very few Republican bills even to have a hearing.

Whether you're a D or an R, you must ask yourself if they are working for their agenda or the People. You cannot tell me that Republicans had many good bills that would have benefited all people of Nevada.

AB240 and Senate companion bill SB112; restricting men in girls' sports, thanks to the Democrats, did not get a hearing in either the Senate or Assembly, even though the population does not want men in girls' sports.

AB240 has 85% Support

SB112 has 86% Support

AB 278

AB278

Another bill passed out of the Senate Government Affairs Committee on Friday night was the unconstitutional AB278, the Muslim Heritage Month of July. Once more, the public had voiced their opinions (94% oppose), and the Democrats did not care about the public's opinion.

Now AB 278 will go before the Nevada Senate. We must contact the Nevada senators and ask them to vote NO on AB278. With this bill, we can ask Governor Lombardo to veto it. Please get in touch with Governor Lombardo at:https://gov.nv.gov/Contact/Contact/ - Nevada.

Please stay tuned; this week, all the news will be released on which bills were voted out of the Legislature Committees. We will also have an indication of which ones will land on Governor Lombardo's desk and which ones he needs to VETO.

Elections have consequences.   Election is the rule. There is no sitting out the next election in 2026; we must get control of the Nevada State Legislature. we need you. #IPromiseToVote!

General Membership Meeting: Our next general membership meeting will be on May 22 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. This month, we will host Jon Bakkedahl, Deputy Emergency Manager with the Carson City Fire Department.

As part of our meeting, we surveyed the top five things that are most important to you for this upcoming election. We also wanted to know what you believe are essential goals that CCRP should be trying to achieve. We will be sharing your answers at the meeting; our new members will receive a welcome package when voted in. We look forward to seeing you this Thursday Night, May 22.

Our '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 at 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 still register for the class or receive more information at 775-841-1800. This class is held every Monday for the next 9 weeks; you are not obliged to attend every class.

Rib Fest at the Casino Fandango from May 23 to May 26. We could still use volunteers if you would like to spend a few fun hours promoting CCRP and sharing vital information. We always have a good time.

Please call the office to sign up to assist with the 3-hour shifts. If you are at the Rib Fest, stop by our booth.

Yeah, it feels like summer!

First Friday: Our First Friday is June 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. We will be at Bella Vita Bistro, 1304 S. Stewart St., Carson Mall this month. Join us for great conversations, appetizers, and a fun evening. Bella Vita has a nice selection of cocktails and wine.

Hope to you there.

Save the Date, August 23rd 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 afternoon.

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. Tickets will be on sale on May 28th.

Fund Raising for Out Reach. It is that time of year when we are gearing 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 out to the CCRP and mailed to Carson City Republican Party, 1971 California Street, Carson City, NV 89701. You can also make donations on our website, with the donate button, or at our office. Please indicate that the check is for “Outreach”.

Thank you very much in advance for your donations. You are the reason we were so successful in 2024. We must all turn out to continue our movement, saving America.

www.carsoncityrepublicans.com. Our website is all things Republican Party. You will find National, State, and local information on our site. Also, you will find information about the current legislation and up-and-coming events.

You can sign up to volunteer on our website. One suggestion is that if you do not know exactly what you would like to do, a good starting point is to volunteer in the office for 3 hours a week. By doing this, you will find your mission, and we all started there. And as our new 2nd Vice Chair Elysse Johnston says, "And we are FUN!”

Cheers. Here's to "America, the Golden Age."

CCRP Two Weeks in a Glance; April 30, 2025

President Trump pledged that his administration would move forward with a mass deportation of illegal immigrants. We want the illegals deported; that is one reason President Trump won the popular vote. It is shocking how many Democrats are trying to block making progress. Fundamentally, these people have broken the law; they crossed into our country illegally. Every day, we hear they are entitled to due process. Are they entitled to the same due process that an American Citizen is entitled to? Of course not; the immigration laws are incredibly complicated, and these people are not afforded the same laws as you and I. They are criminals; they crossed into our country illegally. They have not contributed to our system but are receiving Social Security and Medicaid. We want people to assimilate into our society and value being an American citizen. 

I have a personal story of a young woman whose family moved here legally from Puerto Rico. The young lady was trying to improve herself but lived in government-subsidized housing. The neighborhood was drug-infested, and she was very worried about her younger brother. Blanca pleaded with her mother to get a job and move out of their housing. Her mother commented, "Why, I have air conditioning, a microwave, and a color TV. I would never have this in Puerto Rico, and it's free." Embarrassed by her mother, Blanco shared this with me in 1988; I have never forgotten that testimony. Let that sink in: most people who have illegally come to our country do not have our values and some just see us as a source of free goods and services.  

Our country must contend with Our country must contend with activist district court judges interfering with national security. Many people have not studied our Constitution since grade school. Our forefathers created our government with three Branches of Government: Congressional, Executive, and Judiciary; with clearly delimited powers. Congress and the Executive branches have the most power. The Judicial Branch has the least amount of power. You would not know it by how judges have been behaving. They are trying to stonewall until the 2026 election, hoping they pick up a few seats in Congress. Please understand that the Leftist Dems don't care whatsoever about these illegals; they only see them as a tool to manipulate voters so they can get what they truly care about and that is power. The plan is to overwhelm the system with 15 to 21 million illegals so that we eventually will have to give them amnesty and give them the right to vote. They are not even being subtle about it. I am sure these Marxists are counting on these illegals voting for them. They are trying to destroy our country and remake it into a ‘socialist utopia’ by allowing these millions of people into our country and causing our nation to implode from within. 

President Trump should rightly invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to protect the citizens of the United States. The Democrats are not willing to work with the Trump Administration; therefore, they must utilize every legal tool to move their agenda forward, the agenda that the citizens of the United States voted for. Linked here you will find Sec. 3 of the Executive Order from President Trump and item (b)  

Sec. 3 . Implementation. (a) Within 14 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of State shall take all appropriate action, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, to make a recommendation regarding the designation of any cartel or other organization described in section 1 of this order as a Foreign Terrorist Organization consistent with 8 U.S.C. 1189 and/or a Specially Designated Global Terrorist consistent with 50 U.S.C. 1702 and Executive Order 13224.    https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/29/2025-02004/designating-cartels-and-other-organizations-as-foreign-terrorist-organizations-and-specially 

The Democrats in the Nevada Legislature have more concerns about people who are not citizens than the citizens they have taken an oath to protect. We will have another election in less than a year and a half. We must vote for people who share our values. President Trump needs our help, and the best way we can assist is by voting in every election in the future. We made some progress in the last election but must keep fighting. We need to vote Congressman Amodei and Assemblyman P.K. O'Neill into office. Governor Lombardo and Lt. Governor Anthony will need our votes as well. Hopefully, we will have great candidates for Attorney General and Secretary of State, whom we must get behind. If the Rural Counties get out and vote, we rule. There is no sitting out the next election in 2026; we need you. #IPromiseToVote! 

2026 Election: It is hard to believe we have another election in just eighteen months. Local elections are just as important, if not more so. Why? Because they have a greater impact on you directly in the short term. I promise the CCRP will work just as hard to get every Republican out to vote. Our Governor, Joe Lombardo, will be up for reelection in 2026. It is your responsibility to research the candidates running for office, but I can assure you that we must reelect the current Governor and the Lt. Governor. On June 21, 2023, the Governor vetoed 75 Bills. He promised to veto even more if that is what is needed with these Marxist bills coming from the 83rd Legislature (this session). Many of these Marxist-driven bills would have taken our state to the likes of California or Washington. Attorney General Aaron Ford is planning to run for Governor. Ford wants to turn Nevada into a Sanctuary State (he is following the California model). Ford believes transgender individuals should be allowed in the military, girls’ locker rooms and girls' sports. 80% of the American population does not believe ’transmen’ belong in Girl's Sports. There are rumors that Steve Sisolak may make another run for Governor. I am asking all of you to rally around our Governor, who is fighting for us here in Nevada. In November, Governor Joe Lombardo praised the Wolf Pack volleyball women's players for boycotting San Jose State, which has a trans player on their team. Our Governor was one of 9 Governors who asked the NCAA to bar transgender athletes from women's sports. 

Governor Lombardo supports the Trump Agenda, and with our state going Red in the presidential election, we must be actively supporting our Governor. I look forward to working with you on his reelection campaign. Voters, we must make this election "Too Big to Rig."  #IPromiseToVoteInTheMidtermEelection!

Legislation to Oppose and Support: Our website lists the Legislation you need to

oppose and/or support. Please be active and write or call the Assembly Members and Senators. We need you to be involved, which will make all the difference for our state and your priorities. Thank you in advance for being involved.

General Membership Meeting: Our next general membership meeting will be on May 22 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. We will be announcing our speaker shortly.  

This past month, we had our bi-annual election for our Executive Board. I am very pleased to announce our Executive Board: Chairman Susan Ruch, 1st Vice Chair John Pack, 2nd Vice Chair Elysse Johnston, Secretary Roberta Long, and Treasurer Gordon Allen. We voted unanimously. Thank you, everyone, for your continued support.  

As part of our meeting, we surveyed the top five things that are most important to you for this upcoming election. We also wanted to know what you believe are essential goals the CCRP should be trying to achieve. If you were not at the meeting, you may stop by the office and pick up a form to fill out. We want to hear your thoughts. We will analyze the information and share it at the next meeting.  

Our Lincoln Day Dinner was a fantastic evening. Once more, thank you to everyone who participated in our Lincoln Day Dinner; you made it the "best one ever." On Thursday, May 1, you can watch Governor Lombardo's Speech on our YouTube Channel- Carson City Republican Party. We look forward to seeing you next year. March 21, 2026
