CCRP Two Weeks at a Glance 3/20/25

What a great time to be an American! We just witnessed a private company send a space capsule to the space station orbiting Earth to rescue two astronauts. SpaceX said it would return at 5:57, and the capsule splashdown at precisely 5:57 in the Gulf of America. Elon Musk and SpaceX must be celebrated as heroes.

The astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Butch Wilmore were scheduled to be in space for only 8 days, and instead, the astronauts were in space for 9 months. NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut

Aleksandr Gorbunov returned in the SpaceX Dragon Capsule with Suni and Butch. Numerous people surmise that the Biden Administration did not have a plan to return the astronauts and did not want to ask SpaceX (Elon) because of his support for President Trump. If true, those Democrats have let their partisan politics poison their minds and souls. Elon (a former Democrat) has proven, that "In America, the impossible is what we do best."

With his brilliance, we are very blessed that Elon is working with us. President Trump and his administration are leading the way. It truly is “America’s, Golden Age.”

Many voters are extremely busy with their personal lives. Our website (www.carsoncityrepublicans.com) posts essential information for Carson City, Nevada and Nationally. We are working at making the website a go-to site for events, urgent info on legislation, and all things for the Carson City Republican Party. We anticipate that in the future, you will be able to find all the things that are politically crucial to you.

You are welcome to ask us to post events, and if we believe the event is in line with our Republican values and our bylaws, we will happily share them on our event page.

Please go to our website and sign up to receive information. We do not share or sell your information with anyone.

Our Governor, Joe Lombardo, will be up for reelection in 2026. It is your responsibility to research the candidates who are running for office. The CCRP will be here to help you with information to determine who the best candidate is, and how that candidate aligns with our strong Conservative values. I am here to attest that we must get Governor Lombardo reelected.

On June 21, 2023, the Governor Vetoed 75 Bills that our Democrat Legislature tried to shove through. These were substantially Marxist-driven bills that would have further degraded our state to become like California or Washington.

Attorney General Aaron Ford is planning on running for Governor. Ford wants to turn Nevada into a Sanctuary State. Ford believes “transgenders” should be in the military, girls' locker-rooms, and girls' sports. He is going against the position of 80% of the American population who do not believe biological men belong in Girl's Sports.

In November, Governor Joe Lombardo praised the Wolf Pack volleyball women players for boycotting San Jose State, who 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.

People have asked me recently what Governor Lombardo has done. Here is a list of some of the key achievements that the Governor has accomplished in the last four years:

• Governor Lombardo spearheaded the most significant investment in education in Nevada's history, with over $2 billion added to produce a record education budget.

• Legislation signed by Lombardo paved the way for North Las Vegas and Henderson to apply to become public charter school sponsors, expanding educational choice in the state.

• In two years, Joe Lombardo has reduced the employee vacancy rate from 25 percent to half that.

• Governor Lombardo signed legislation improving charter school students' transportation and invested in pre-K education.

• When Democrats pushed rent control bills that would've increased housing costs and reduced availability of rentals, Lombardo stood firm and vetoed their dangerous bills.

• When Democrats tried to restrict Nevadans' 2nd Amendment liberties to defend themselves with new, unconstitutional gun control laws, Lombardo vetoed them.

I have also enclosed the Governor's letter because Attorney General Ford stated he would not comply with the Trump Administration and the deportation agenda. 

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.

As we move into the Mid-Term Elections, we must be involved and understand who stands

for Women. It appears that Democrats politicians are prepared to die on this hill even though nearly 80% of Americans do not believe men belong in Women's Sports. Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony stands with Women.

Anthony has launched a task force to protect women's sports. The irony is that Title 9 was put into place in 1972 to protect women, and now the woke agenda is to have biological men play in women's sports.

Nevada Senator Carrie Buck has introduced a bill SB112. Also introduced and headed to committee is the Assembly counterpart AB240. These bills establish the potential for penalties if schools should retaliate against a student who brings forward an issue of a school violating provisions in the law which disallow the participation of an alternate biological sex participating in a sport designated for a single sex.

Side note: Lt Governor Stavros Anthony is also up for reelection in 2026. We need to reelect him; he is excellent. I am working to have Stavros speak to us at one of our membership meetings soon.

Please urge our Democrat and Republican Nevada Senators to pass SB112. How many of you have girls in your family who work very hard in their sports? I know I do; my gifted granddaughter plays baseball on a boys' team. She is 8 years old. She holds her own, and this is her last year. The boys are getting stronger, and she must move to a girls' team next year. It's just the reality of the physical composition of women's and men's bodies. It is not fair to girls and women to train their entire lives and then have a biological man take all the glory, scholarships, and trophies with minimal effort. Title 9 was to protect women in women's sports, and now we are going backward. Where in the world are all the women's activists groups protecting women? We, the people, need to speak up and vote to protect our women. https://www.kolotv.com/2025/01/08/nevada-lt-governor-anthony-launches-womens-sports-task-force/

Our 83rd Nevada Legislature is in full swing. We need people to testify in person, via phone, or written testimony. We have a huge uphill battle, but remember, we have a Governor who listens. Governor Lombardo vetoed 75 bills in 2023. Therefore, we need people to be involved, to make our voices heard, to call out bad bills and to advocate for the good bills. The Senate and Assembly hearings are open to the public; you will learn so much. You will find the daily legislative schedule on the NELIS. Please remember that Democrats are still in control of our Nevada legislature. We need legislative warriors to testify in this 83rd Session. You can sign up for Legislative alerts by going to NVGOP (https://nevadagop.org) and then click sign up for alerts.

Tonight, Movie Night: Tom Homan, the Trump Border Czar, has located 75,000 to 80,000 of the 300,000 plus missing children under Biden/Harris. Therefore, we have decided to show The War on Children on March 20, directed by Robbie Starbuck, at the Casino Fandango in the Craft 55 room. A $20 donation is requested; thanks, and we hope to see you there. Please RSVP at 775 841-1800

Our next general membership meeting will be on March 27, at 6:30 pm social time, and at 7 pm, the meeting will start. Mr. Tom Metcalf of Metcalf Builders will be our speaker this month. Mr. Metcalf will speak on the proposed downtown project on the east side. The project would include a new town hall, two high-end hotels, a conference center, and more. The Hop and May Adams Foundation is leading a proposal to revitalize downtown Carson City. This meeting is to be informative with a question-and-answer period. You can see Carson City's Master Plan Update here: https://www.envisioncarsoncity.org/

We will be holding a special election for two State Committeemen. We have posted the bios of two excellent candidates, Joshua Skaggs and Lucia Maloney, on our website. We have strict criteria for running for a position on our board as state committee members or the executive board. Another key point is that you can only vote if you are a member of the CCRP. We record who is in good standing, especially for the privilege of Voting.

The Feisty Goat has donated a bottle of wine for a drawing for members bringing a guest this month.Every month, we have excellent speakers, and everyone is welcome. You can sign up for our emails at https://www.carsoncityrepublicans.com/ Our monthly meeting location is always at the Casino Fandango, 3800 S. Carson St., Craft 55 room. Everyone is welcome.

Our Biblical Citizenship Class is an 8-week class series that starts on Friday, March 21st at 6 pm. It is an exciting and enlightening class of our forefathers and how the bible helped form our constitution. Calvary Chapel has graciously allowed us to use their fellowship hall. Calvary Chapel is located at 1635 E. Clearview Rd, Carson City. You may purchase the study guide for $20 for the first class. I am taking this class for the second time. This class is truly excellent; this class will teach you so much about the US Constitution. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

We are pleased to announce that our Lincoln Day Dinner is now SOLD OUT. We are taking names on a wait-list; call 775 841-1800 to be placed on the list. Governor Lombardo is our Keynote Speaker. Lt. Governor Stavros Anthony will be the special guest for our VIP Reception. If you have already signed up and not yet paid, please do as soon as possible.

God Bless America, Nevada, Carson City, and you.

Susan Ruch, Your Chairman

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

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. -John Adams

Revisiting the Revolutionary War is a bracing reminder that the fate of a continent and the shape of the modern world turned on the free choices of remarkably few Americans defying an empire. -George Will (Everyone needs to be involved; it's your country, too)
