Nevada: Nancy Pelosi

As if the Republican Party doesn't have enough on its plate to revive Conservative principle and fiscal responsibility...we in Reno and Sparks Nevada have to hear of this traitorous action by OUR OWN REPUBLICAN MAYORS!

We find out, courtesy of the Ralston Flash - that before Republicans even know who their candidate is going to be against U.S. Sen. Harry Reid next year that two Republican mayors - Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and Sparks Mayor Geno Martini - are helping him raise money for his re-election campaign. Check out the invitation HERE

"McDonald-Carano-Wilson, LLP and Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and Sparks Mayor Geno Martini Invite YOU to a recption honoring Senator Harry Reid United States Senate Majority Leader Wednesday April 15th, 2009 5:00pm - 6:00pm.

U.S. Rep. Jon Porter (R-Henderson) filed a petition Wednesday morning in an attempt to force a vote on a bill that would lift a decades-old ban on offshore oil drilling.

The proposal -- known as the Deep Water Energy Resources Act -- would open portions of the outer continental shelf to oil exploration. Congressional Republicans, including 101 who co-sponsored the bill, say the measure would help lower gasoline prices.

LAS VEGAS-Speaking to reporters in Washington D.C. today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that he would endorse one of the Democratic candidates for president by the end of this week.

Reid has kept to a pledge of neutrality he made before the Nevada Caucuses in January.  He has said repeatedly that he, along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, would urge all remaining uncommitted superdelegates to commit to a candidate following the final nominating contests in Montana and South Dakota.

Voting in those contests is scheduled to conclude at 7 p.m. PDT tonight.
