Hello Fellow Patriots,
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that wrote a snail mail letter the Secretary of State regarding the investigation of the 122,000 incidents of voter fraud presented to her by the GOP. The snail mail campaign was hugely successful. I have it on good authority that she did indeed receive hundreds of letters, each of which had to be opened, and the letters are still trickling in. A hand written letter still has impact and most importantly hand written mail has to be opened, unlike emails that can simply be deleted. An interesting article published by 360 News Las Vegas titled: “Cegavske’s Daily Calendar Shows She Failed To Supervise Joe Gloria”, click here.
I am now encouraging you to write a snail mail letter to each one of the Chairs of the legislative committees that are hearing bills and encourage them to do what is right for Nevada and listen to the people. If they would only go to their own website and look at the numbers for and against each bill and vote accordingly. To view the committees: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021
Legislative committee chairs decide which bills may be heard by their committee.The Assembly Legislative Operations and Elections Committee has been particularly bothersome and Chair Brittney Miller refuses to hear the following bills on election reform: AB134, AB263, AB328, AB297. Why would she refuse to allow bills to be heard on election integrity? According to Assemblyman Glen Leavitt, Assembly Republicans have only received 41 hearings out of their 124 bills. This equates to 33%. Assembly Democrats are hearing 53% of their own bills with 98 of their 185 bills being heard. A committee chair has a responsibility to ALL parties and it is time she correct this situation. Brittney.Miller@asm.state.nv.us or snail mail at:

The Washoe County Commissioners are having a Special Meeting to vote on implementing new China Virus restrictions. These restrictions on our liberties cannot stand. Email our County Commissioners, show up at the 8:30AM meeting and have our voices heard. If our county commissioners refuse to stand up to the tyrant that occupies the Governor’s mansion, they should at least be able to explain to us why. There is no amount of COVID money that Washoe County can receive that would make it worth crushing our rights.
I was just made aware that the Nevada Gaming Control Board (GCB) and Gaming Commission (GC) might be discriminating against minorities. An excerpt from the Gaming Control Board letter of 14 Jan 2021 states “…… Nevada’s gaming industry as part of the state’s Frontline and Essential Workforce. To implement this portion of the Playbook most effectively, the Board is collecting information regarding the willingness of the industry’s workforce to receive vaccinations.” They most recently are now mandating that any business which includes gaming must require their “hospitality workers” receive the shot against the China Virus. If the business does not comply they will have their gaming license revoked (click here for the joint GCB and GC letter). Mandatory inoculations are unconstitutional and the Gaming Control Board is over-reaching astronomically. We are entering some dark times people. The public may email their opinion to the GCB and GC regarding this action here: publiccomment@gcb.nv.gov Public comments will be read at 9AM, Tuesday, April 7th and at the end of the meeting Wednesday, April 8th. To view the meeting: https://gaming.nv.gov/index.aspx?page=358
There was tremendous support at the last Washoe County School District Board meeting. Let’s keep the pressure up and let that board know that we will not sit idly by while they continue to squander our tax payer dollars and fail in their mission to education our children. Take the Washoe County School District Strategic Plan and Budget Survey for the public and let them know what their priorities should be: click here.
Also, there is a new excerpt from Paul White’s series: How Do We Fix Our WCSD Schools? Part V: BETTER DISCIPLINE and CONTROL of Student Behavior .
Battle Born Patriots (BBP) has been reading the legislative bills, deciphering, decoding and then translating them into a few sentences including major points for the legislators to review before a hearing or a vote. They are swamped with bills to read and need volunteer readers. Contact Barney barneyw6@yahoo.com (include Volunteer Bill Reader in the Subject line) if you can volunteer to review bills. It makes a huge difference to the legislators to have the digested bills available to them, at least that is the feedback BBP has been getting from them.
Synopsis of Opportunities:
- Send snail mail to legislative chairs
- Publicly comment: email the Nevada GCB and GC regarding their joint resolution on the shot
- Keep the pressure on the Washoe County Commissioners and the Washoe County School Board
- Take the WCSD public survey and let them know what you think
- Read, translate, decipher and decode, then sub mitt a synopsis of the legislative bill
- Record your opinion regarding bills https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/

Hello Fellow Patriots,
This week the Washoe County School Board will be voting to potentially crush the First Amendment Rights of both teachers and students. They will also be voting on giving the Superintendent the authority to determine what constitutes “political” speech. I believe it’s time we give the school Board a civics lesson, which, by the way, is something no longer taught in the WCSD. We need to make sure they understand, they represent the people. We are not concerned with what their opinion is about anything. We want them to vote according to the wishes of the people that elected them. Why is it that when politicians achieve office they seem to think we are no longer capable of deciding for ourselves what is good for us? I cannot fathom the unmitigated gall required to believe because you hold office the people you represent are now your subjects. I, for one, am tired of seeing this attitude displayed by politicians that refuse to comprehend the principles on which this country was founded. When we elect a person to represent us, we have every reason to demand that they do exactly that, represent us. We do not relinquish our sovereignty to any politician. We are citizens, not subjects.
This Tuesday, March 30th, is the meeting of the Washoe County School Board of Trustees at 4pm, Damonte Ranch High School (Theater) 10500 Rio Wrangle Parkway, Reno. The Board will be served a Cease and Desist Order signed by the residents of Washoe County, to hopefully prevent what they are trying to do. Please attend if at all possible; show up early to sign the petition. The full Cease and Desist Order, drafted by the attorney Joey Gilbert, will be read to the Board during the Public Comment at 3 minute intervals. To sign the online petition click here. The purpose of the petition is to demonstrate to the Board that the people of Washoe County of having their voices ignored. To read the letter from Paul White containing a more in depth explanation click here. To download your own copy of the petition click here. Paul White is also the author of the column “Uncomfortable Truths”. Below you will find an excerpt of this latest in the series titled, “How Do We Fix Our WCSD Schools?”

How Do We Fix Our WCSD Schools?
by Paul D. WhiteOverview:
For over a decade, the Washoe County School District (and all Nevada public schools) have ranked last in the nation or almost-last in the nation in quality of education. WCSD superintendents and school boards have primarily blamed our failing schools on a lack of funding. That is probably false because
10 states fund their public schools equal-to or LOWER-than Nevada, and all 10 of those states outperform our schools.
But if the solution for improving our schools is NOT more money, then what is it? Our failing schools result from 6 main issues that need to be dealt with. Each issue will be explained in more detail in this column and in the three succeeding ones.Part IV: MORE ACCOUNTABILITY regarding WHAT is taught and HOW
HOW Subject Matter is Taught Matters
WhatEVER our WCSD schools are teaching, it’s clearly not being done in a way that ensures the students’ mastery of curriculum skills. This has much to do with how future teachers are being taught how to teach. Education programs at universities like UNR have devolved into saturating future teachers with Leftist ideologies, rather than instructing them in how to clearly and accountably present learning objectives in a way that results in students mastering those objectives. Additionally, as WCSD school discipline has become weaker, teachers have to deal with more in-class student drug use and disrespectful behavior, which destroy the orderly classroom environment that’s required for any real learning to take place.

View SB139SB10 to Raise Property Taxes Currently in Nevada law there is a formula for increasing property taxes for Single Family Homes and residential property with a 3% annual cap and for commercial property with an 8% annual cap. Currently, this means that the increase will be calculated between zero percent increase and 3% for single family homes and residential property between 3% or 8% for commercial property. This bill means that property taxes will be figured not between zero and 3% or zero and 8% annually but figured at the caps of 3% or 3% to 8%. This will result in increased property taxes for single family homes, residential property (rentals) and commercial property. Can you afford to pay more property taxes?

AB255 is an overt attempt to take power away from the people and place it in the hands of the government. This bill would force Washoe County School Board Trustees to be semi-elected, semi-appointed, with 4 elected and 3 appointed, (currently all are elected in Washoe County). This is the camel’s nose under the tent…pretty soon it will be the camel’s whole body. This currently the way it is in Clark County, as existing law draws the line in the sand at 75,000 students. This would make counties with a minimum of 25K students enrolled have to fall in line with the semi-appointed rule.

GOOD BILLS
AB 134 (Needs to be Heard)
Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations & Elections Basically, this bill repeals the bad effects of AB4, passed in the Special Session of 2020, bringing us ballot harvesting, all-mail ins, etc. Now more than ever we need to have AB 134 heard in committee. This bill proposed by Assemblyman Matthews, Dickman, Hafen, Wheeler, Titus, and Senator Buck is a clean repeal of the provisions of AB 4. Mail voting is already banned in numerous countries, we cannot allow Democrats to declare an “emergency” every election in order to prompt the provisions of AB4. You are to write or call and ask for the bill to be heard, as the Chairman of the Committee hasn’t scheduled it and will not unless they hear from us. Contact Chair Brittney Miller Brittney.Miller@asm.state.nv.us
AB 263 (Needs to be Heard)
Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations & Elections Requiring county and city clerks to audit the performance of persons who check voter signatures on absentee ballots, mailing ballots or mail ballots; setting forth certain requirements for signature verification devices.

In each county having a population of 100,000 or more, the board of county commissioners may create the office of registrar of voters, as an elected office and prescribe the qualifications, duties, and compensation of that office. The registrar of voters shall be elected by the qualified electors of the county, beginning at the general election immediately following the creation of the office of registrar of voters. The term of office of a registrar of voters is 4 years and begins on the first Monday in January following the general election. Contact Chair Brittney Miller Brittney.Miller@asm.state.nv.us and request that the bill be heard.
AJR 11 (Needs to be Heard)

Secretary of State and Voter Fraud Investigation. Let’s do this! I am asking everyone that reads this to write a short, hand written letter to the Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske asking her to please investigate the incidences of voter fraud that occurred that is contained in the four boxes of evidence delivered to her by the Nevada GOP. After all, it is within her job description to investigate all suspected incidents of voter fraud. It would be beneficial if we all sent our snail mail letters on the same day. I propose Friday, March 19th. I believe it will be worth the 50 cent stamp.

Fellow Patriots,
As of this writing we have many bills coming up for hearings that I hope will be met with lots of public comment from we the people. It is simple to do so and in addition to emailing individual legislators, this is a very effective means of having your voice heard. For a short video of how to navigate the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System (NELIS) click here. I believe it is of paramount importance that we tell our representatives how we feel. Share your opinion on the legislative website https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/81st2021/
We need to let our legislators know that we are totally opposed to AB286. This bill effectively does away with your second amendment right to carry a gun in public whether concealed or open carry. This bill would make a concealed carry permit useless. It will institute “gun free zones” that the criminal elements just love. This bill comes up for hearing at 8am Wednesday, March 17th. Let us come together and protect our rights to defend ourselves.
I am concerned that until our elections are fair and honest again, our representatives have nothing to fear from the people the serve. If they believe that the people can no longer influence their ability to hold or achieve office, then they have no reason to listen to us. We MUST let them know that we demand fair elections! There are bills being introduced that will affect our elections for years to come that will make it all but impossible to have fair elections. One example of this is AB121 that will allow anyone with a computer to vote from home! This bill was introduced under the guise of making it easier for people with disabilities but do not let that fool you! This is a typical tactic employed to make you think that they are trying to do something beneficial but hidden in the bill are provisions they do not talk about! I have read too many bills with this little trick in them!
I am asking everyone that reads this to write a short, hand written letter to the Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske asking her to please investigate the incidence of voter fraud that occurred that is contained in the four boxes of evidence delivered to her by the Nevada GOP. After all, it is within her job description to investigate all suspected incidences of voter fraud. It would be beneficial if we all sent our snail mail letters on the same day.

For those of you that were at the school board meeting on the 9th of March please be aware that I have filed an official complaint with the Nevada Attorney General about the violation of the Open Meeting Law that occurred that night. I was incredibly pleased to see how many people showed up for the meeting. We must stand up and show up if we expect anything to change. Imagine if we had 100 people there that night? If we all stood up with one voice and demanded they fix the problem with the board not being able to be heard by the public, I wonder what would have happened? I bet they would have reacted differently than they did! Sometimes quantity is as important as quality.
Someway, somehow, get involved.

by Reva Parks | Feb 22, 2021 | Blog, Patriotic Perspective, Patriotic Review
Fellow Patriots,
I have good news to share. A lawsuit has been brought against the Nevada Governor, Nevada Attorney General, Nevada Senate Majority Leader and the head of the Legislative Council Bureau. This action is in response to the legislature closing the doors to the public. It is unfortunate that we the people have to resort to legal action in order to get our elected representatives to listen to us. I see more and more examples of people standing up for our basic liberties. The question is, what happens when the courts refuse to listen as in what recently happened in the Supreme Court denying to hear the Pennsylvania case regarding voter fraud?
While the legislature is in session I’m looking at a great deal of proposed legislation that is frightening. For instance, SB73 will introduce new taxes for the City of Reno. AB121 will allow voting over the internet further corrupting our election process. Additionally Janine Hansen with Nevada Families for Freedom has researched AB129 which reverses legislation she fought for and was passed regarding campaign finance reporting. Click here to read the article from Nevada Families for Freedom.
I encourage everyone reading this to get involved in the process. Remember every law that is passed, be it local, state or federal, has an impact on your liberty. Emails to legislators should be fairly unique as software has been purchased for screening out redundant emails to the legislators. Also, post your opinion on the legislative website (click here). These opinions are tallied and recorded. It only takes 5 minutes of your day to have an impact on what comes out of our legislature.
This newsletter includes an opinion column penned by Paul D. White. These articles will soon be available under a separate tab at NevadaPatriot.net. As a reminder, the Washoe County Board of County Commissioners meets Tuesday, Feb 23rd at 10am; 1001 E. 9th Street, Reno. This is an opportunity to tell your county commissioners what you think. Washoe County School Board meets Tuesday, Feb 23rd at 4pm, North Valleys High School. Reno City Council meets virtually on Wednesday Feb 24th and is still closed to public meeting as is the Sparks City Council which meets virtually today at 5pm, Feb 22.
As of this newsletter we have pulled our support for the Washoe Patriot Organization. As you all know, I strive to make sure that all information you receive from Nevada Patriot is accurate and that will always be the benchmark for this organization. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Best Regards,

Fellow Patriots,
As you are aware I refrain from issuing calls to action on this platform because I have witnessed others abuse the privilege. I will only send out a call to action when it is vital to the interests of this community. As we are all aware, the Reno City Council has failed to effectively address the issue of homelessness in our community. They continue to waste our tax dollars by irresponsibly putting dollar after dollar towards perpetuating the situation instead of fixing it. Now the Washoe County Commissioners are taking up the mantle and want to establish a “homelessness” fund for the purported purpose of addressing the problem; in essence, this will make all of Washoe County fiscally responsible for the failure of the Reno City Council.
I received the following email from one of our County Commissioners asking for our help.
“This is a sneaky way to transition into a new General Services Tax on ALL vehicles !!!!!!!! It will cost us millions for this slush fund. We are playing into Reno’s hand. They invite the homeless to come here and we are going to be the scapegoats who have to pay for it! And that was their plan all along. Washoe County Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday at 10.”
I would encourage anyone that is able to come to the Washoe County Commissioners Meeting tomorrow February 9th, Tuesday at 10am, 1001 E. Ninth Street, Reno and let your voice be heard. I have spent enough time dealing with the homeless in our community that I can accurately tell you the majority of these people do not want to accept any personal responsibility for their poor life choices that lead to the situation in which they find themselves. The small minority that are incapable of managing their own affairs need our help and we have the agencies in place to provide that. What we lack is the will of our elected officials to fix the problem. The majority of these people simply want to be left alone to never become productive members of our community. There is an easy solution to this problem that our elected officials refuse to acknowledge and that is to enforce our current laws. Doing so would force the 99% to accept responsibility and change their lifestyles and will identify the 1% incapable of managing their own affairs. The specific agenda item that requires public input is Item 8.B.2 on the agenda (see below). To see the full agenda click here.
