The Key Points on AB278:
Our Democrat run Legislature needs to hear directly from you otherwise they will pass this.
Violation of the U.S. Constitution and 1st Amendment
During the first Assembly Hearing of the Government Affairs Committee, Assemblywoman Nadeem stated, “We need this bill to pass so that we (Muslims) can get into the government schools.” Since everyone is already welcomed into schools, these comments indicate the Muslim community would like to introduce Islam into our government schools, which would also be unconstitutional.
Muslims are not a race and come from many countries/cultures. Muslims are the followers of the religion of Islam. Therefore, this is not celebrating a heritage, rather it is pushing their religion.
No state has a law for any “heritage month” for any religion. Rather the few states that have various “heritage months” have created them by resolution or proclamation (not a law). This bill would make Nevada the first state to mandate Muslim observances.
A law requires enforcement. What would be needed of Nevadans to observe a month-long Muslim Heritage Month? On the 4th of July, and throughout July, while we celebrate America, would we be required to fly the Islamic flag under the American Flag or eventually over the American Flag? Can you imagine our State Capitol flying the American Flag with the Islamic flag flying under our majestic flag? We will have a banner crossing Carson Street stating this is Muslim Heritage Month.
Will Nevadans be fined or jailed if we do not observe Muslim Heritage Month? Please
contemplate the uproar of protests in front of the Capitol if this passes and at the ballot box. Voters do not want this bill passed.
The Muslim population makes up about 0.3% of the entire population of Nevada.
There are NO-GO Zones in England, Germany, France, and throughout Europe. If we don’t stop this movement, we will have no-go zones in Las Vegas sooner rather than later. Sweden is offering the immigrants $35,000 to return to their homeland.
We need to look at what is occurring throughout our country. Epic City is a proposed Muslim city in Texas with hopes of installing Sharia law eventually.
Patterson N, J. just announced they are the 4th most holy city in the world. The Mayor of Patterson called Patterson Little Palestine.
Friday, May 9, the Senate Government Affairs Committee heard the Muslim Heritage Month bill AB287. Assemblywoman Brittany Miller of Las Vegas District 5 is the Sponsor of AB287 and was present to present her bill to the Senate Committee. At this time, Nevada has approximately 10,000 Muslims, while the population of Nevada in 2024 was 3,267,000. Assemblywoman Miller's bill proposes to make July Muslim Heritage Month, the month we celebrate the United States of America and our Veterans. Our Muslim Population makes up only 0.003 of the population of Nevada, and Miller wants to give them an entire month to celebrate their heritage and contributions to Nevada. We are a Judeo-Christian Country, our values are based on Judeo-Christian values, and our Constitution is based on these values. This bill is unconstitutional on the face of it as it would establish a preferential status for a specific religion. Clearly not allowed under the first amendment but if not challenged here and now, it will go through.
Are you aware of the fact that in an area right outside of Plano, Texas, a group of Muslim
Developers has purchased 402 acres of land with the intent to build EPIC City? The plan is to have an all-Muslim City, but because of the Fair Housing Act, they cannot restrict the development to only Muslims. Listening to one of the partners of this development, they believe they have ingeniously figured out how to keep the infidels out by subtracting 80% of the HOA to support their enormous Mosque. The developers think this is genius and could have Christians paying for a Mosque. With their long-term plan, they
hope they will be able to govern their city separately from Texas and eventually install Sharia Law. Just recently, the people of Texas have been waking up to the intentions of the Muslim Developers. Governor Abbott is now putting a hold on the project. https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/news/cornyn-calls-on-doj-to-investigate-epic-city-following-accusations-of-religious-discrimination-sharia-law/
Last week, Mayor Andre Sayegh of Patterson, N.J., declared their city, Palestine of the United States, the fourth holiest city in the world. Approximately 30,000 Muslims live in a town with a population of 156,452. As a Christian or a Jewish person living in Patterson, NJ, how would you feel living in Patterson? If a city in the United States were to declare itself the Christian Capital of the world, there would be an uproar beyond anyone's imagination. It is well known that under the Biden Administration, there are an estimated 15,000-plus Islamic terrorists that were allowed into our country. Where in the world do you think these people are living? I am sorry for the immigrants who came to the US to live the American Dream. There are bad people here, and it will reflect on some of these people if another 9/11 occurs.
Assemblywoman Miller argues that the Muslim people are peace-loving, patriotic people. I am sure most of the Muslims are. Most Americans' ancestry comes from other countries all over the world. Our great-grandparents were here to assimilate into the American culture. We are a Judeo-Christian country, and our Constitution was written based directly on these values. As Christians, we are not to lie. In the Quran, under taqiyya, Muslims are allowed to lie to nonbelievers to protect themselves and to promote their faith.

In the public testimony period of Friday, May 9, nine proud Patriotic Americans testified at the legislature on Bill AB278. Additionally, so many people called the hearing that the callers took up all thirty minutes allotted for the opposition calls. Only three paid lobbyists were at the meeting in favor of the Muslim Month. Everyone who testified made valid points, with the emphasis on the fact that a Muslim is a follower of the religion of Islam and not a culture of a region or country. Islam is not a culture but a religion tied to the Quran. The culture comes from native countries such as Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Somalia, Algeria, Yemen, and many others, which by the way all have Islam as their official state religion. America is a country based on Christian values. We are a diverse country with many different religions practiced, and we embrace this; therefore, we should not, must not, select one religion over another for a heritage month. Selecting an entire month to celebrate a single religion that has brought much heartache to our country and with such a minute population, is not agreeable to most Nevadans. I am afraid this bill, once more, causes more division and does not bring us together as many bills that come from the Democrats. And we have to ask why are they seeking this? Why have they specifically not proposed a religions of America heritiage month?
It's strange how they are trying desperately to gloss over the facts of recent history to get folks to forget that it was an attack of coordinated radical Muslims who drove those planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11. Similarly, it was Hamas, who committed those heinous crimes in Israel on October 7, 2023. The open calls for destruction of the Jews chanted on our own college campuses increases the mistrust of Islam. Most people here in the United States who practice Islam are not hateful, and I know that. Until the Imams of the Mosques in our country start speaking out to the American public and they denounce the hatred of Jews and denounce the Islamic terrorists (estimated at an unacceptably high 15%), we will have a natural distrust of the Islam faith. We need to ask the following question: Are the Muslims here to assimilate into the American culture? Will our major cities end up like many countries with no-go zones like France, Germany, and England? Sweden is offering $35,000 to the immigrants to return to their point of origin. Where are the thousands of Islamic Terrorists who came into our country to live under Joe Biden? They must be living somewhere, probably in a Muslim area. Why are the Muslim Americans who love America so much not turning them in? Are they afraid? Are the Mosque protecting them, so they will not turn them in? Nevadans will not be happy with giving Muslims an entire month to celebrate a religion that brought down the Twin Towers, especially the month of July.
If you are reading this and would not want to celebrate Muslim Heritage Month for the month of July, we need you to oppose this bill asap. I am including the seven senators who need to hear from you in the next 48 hours. Call them, email them, and tell them to vote no; do not pass it out of your work session. AB278 at the Nevada. You can go to the Nevada 83rd Legislature/NELIS site or on our website (https://www.carsoncityrepublicans.com/copy-of-nevada-politics-1) under legislature to oppose AB278: The Muslim Heritage Month. We do not have a Christian, Jewish, or Quaker month, why would we have an entire month to celebrate a group of people who only make up 0.3% of the Nevada population? Oppose AB 287
Please Call and Email these 7 Senators and Gov. Lombardo. We must stop this bill.

Everyone reading this, thank you for your help. Nevada, and the CCRP, thanks you! God Bless America, Nevada, Carson City and you,
Susan Ruch, Chairman
Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress (Nevada Legislature). If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities represent them in the national legislature. (and I add in our Nevada Legislature). President James Garfield
