No Political Agenda

With so many bills coming through everyday, its hard for me to decide what to blog about.

I want to blog about bills my audience will care about or I want to explain why you should care.   The "popular" bill of the day, might not be a bill that you guys are interested in.  I don't want to turn anyone off using big words and describing a bill that might not even make it through committee.

Yes, I know, you have heard about guns, construction defects, school bond, and taxes all over the news and social media. I don't think its time to bring out those issues just yet. I am still trying to figure them out  myself. At some point I will let you know what these bills mean to you and how you will be effected.

I have to be very careful on the bills I highlight, suggest or mention. I am not here to push the agenda of any political party.  The purpose is to make the Legislative process and potential laws understandable, in hopes to get you to care enough and get involved or vote!

Some might suggest "That's a Republicans bill, you should't be talking about that".  However, if a Republican  bill is a good bill and will help make Nevada better, than it will be mentioned.  On the other hand, if the Democrats are trying to pass a law that that would hurt us, I will show you the pro's and cons.

All is in effort to produce change (or not). You decide. I am just giving you some details to help you decide.

Feel free to click the links below for a list of bills and you can follow or look up yourself.

Let's Talk Politics



Over the last few elections, I noticed the lack of knowledge of our generation when it comes to politics, laws and legal rights. I would hear conversations where people were repeating what they heard someone else say on the news or what they read on Facebook. Falling to dig deeper and even stay current. I came across many who didn't vote, many who didn't understand the issues or cause and those who faked as if they knew the issues just to be apart of the conversation. 

I was fortunate to work on a winning political campaign and twice for  Nevada Legislative Session. I found the experience to be extremely educational. Of course I have to share all this information.  Both experiences created a hunger of knowledge  for what is going on not only in my state, but in my country. 

Politics became cool again when Obama became President. We talk about politics on a date, after church and during happy hour.  However, do we really know the process and the issues? I wanted to create a conformable, relaxed environment to share  the process.
  
This blog is bi-partisan (not taking any sides).  I won't favor a Democratic or a Republican. This is my blog, but I don't want it to be all about my opinion.  I want to give you the facts, the truth and create a better understanding.  Yes, you can Google it, but will really understand and how it applies to you?
