There’s a Lesson Here – Don’t Blog Angry

December 23rd, 2011 · 10 Comments

April 13th, 2010 · Comments Off on Why Nevada Must Challenge ObamaCare

Attorney General Cortez-Masto’s decision to ignore the Governor’s request and to not join over one third of the Union in a Constitutional challenge against ObamaCare is a travesty.  The threat to our country and to our state particularly is real and immediate, and our participation in the lawsuit is critical to the rule of law […]

The Blog Is Back!

April 7th, 2010 · Comments Off on The Blog Is Back!

If you’re new to my blog because of the campaign, welcome to First Principles!  Ever since my website was repurposed for the campaign, I’ve been missing the blog.  But thanks to many good friends, volunteers, and a great staff (who have and continue to do brilliant work getting a campaign from Full Stop to Flank […]
