The Oath of Office of our elected officials is simple; to protect your Constitutional Rights. Can you name the last time your elected officials folowed their Oath of Office?

Here’s an interesting video on the Constitutional Duties of our local ELECTED Sheriff.

I attended the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action meeting today and let me tell you, things are happening in Nevada.

The Constitution guarantees our Right to own firearms and that this right “shall not be infringed”.

NRA-ILA staff layed out future plans for their grassroots legislative and election strategies in Nevada and discussed how gun owners can become even more involved with mutual efforts. Included in the presentation was an introduction of the new NRA state association–the Nevada Firearms Coalition (NFC), who were on hand to talk about their plans for the state. Attendees got the chance to meet the new state association board members and learn how NRA-ILA and the NFC will be working together to protect Nevada’s Second Amendment rights!

The NRA-ILA is a grassroots organization and I recommend you check them out and get involved today. Their website is www.nraila.org.

Assemblyman Richard McArthur (R-AD4) was also in attendance and I had a chance to speak with him about his run for State Senate District 18. As an Assemblyman, Richard McArthur has done a great job in the Assembly and I support his candidacy for the Nevada Senate. You can visit his website at http://mcarthur4nevada.com/

Why am I running for Nevada Assembly? Because you can’t even have a BBQ without Nevada bureaucrats stepping in and telling you that you can’t.

What kind of a Nanny State do we live in when you can’t even raise and cook your own food anymore?

Monte and Laura Bledsoe, the owners of Quail Hollow Farm, a small organic farm in Overton, thought they would host a gathering to bring community together and celebrate local farmers. Instead they ran headlong into a bureaucratic buzzsaw.

The Bledsoes had planned what is called a Farm-to-Fork dinner, one featuring all locally grown food. Hoping for a large turnout they advertised in the local paper and spread the word around their small community.

A couple days before the dinner they got a call telling them they needed to pull a permit from the Southern Nevada Health District. Even though it was on their private property, since they had advertised it, the dinner was considered a public event requiring a permit.

What happens next is a complete nightmare. After driving to Las Vegas to get the “permit”, the Bledsoes thought everything was OK….until the Health Inspector showed up.

The Bledsoes were told that the food had to be thrown away as it wasn’t “USDA Inspected”. That’s right, since the animals had been raised and slaughtered on Quail Hollow Farm the Bledsoes were not allowed to serve the meat to their guests.

Before you start thinking that this was just some rogue inspector taking out her frustrations on an unfortunate business, this outrage was sanctioned by higher-ups in the department. Bledsoe indicated the inspector was communicating with and receiving approval from her supervisor throughout the inspection and destruction of the meal.

Yes, the American Dream is getting closer to existing only when you’re sleeping. With endless rules and regulations, we’re not allowed to have a farm and invite friends over for a BBQ anymore without Nanny State Bureaucrats sticking their nose into our business and telling us what we can, and can’t, do.

This is why I am running for Nevada Assembly. To follow the Oath of Office and protect YOUR Constitutional Rights.

Why am I running for Nevada Assembly? To fufill my Oath I took when I enlisted in the US Navy. To defend the US Constitution and protect your Constitutional Rights.
