CHUCK MUTH'S CITIZEN OUTREACH 04/21/2013


i-CAN:  Despite having the 7 votes needed to get the “campus carry” bill out of the Judiciary Committee a week ago, the Democrat committee chairman, Jason Frierson, killed it unilaterally.  This really torqued me.  I mean, if the Democrats won’t even allow elected officials to vote on bills clearly supported by those who elected them, what’s a citizen to do, right?

Well, we can take issues to the ballot, just as the teachers union is doing with their modified gross receipts tax.

Problem is, the cost for signature gathering alone to qualify an issue for the statewide ballot can easily run a quarter-million dollars!  The spare change in all of our sofa cushions combined wouldn’t make a dent in that.  But what if…

What if, over the Internet, we created a Conservative Action Network of 5,000 conservative Nevada volunteer activists who, once notified of a particular initiative, would go out and collect just 20 signatures each from friends, family, co-workers or others who are registered to vote?  That should be doable in just a couple days time and would total over 100,000…more than enough to qualify any measure for the ballot!


To put something like this together will require a little website/database work, and a project director with some strong organizational skills.  Volunteers?


FIRST FRIDAY: Put it on your calendar now!  We’ll be honoring legendary, newly-inducted Hall of Fame UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian at next month’s First Friday Happy Hour.  Also on hand will be author Wayne Allyn Root to sign copies of his new book.  And our “Club of the Month” for May will be the Nevada Republican Men’s Club.  Friday, May 3from 5-7 pm at Bahama Breeze in Las Vegas. Be there or be talked about!

THIRD THURSDAY: The next private, invitation-only, off-the-record Third Thursday Center-Right Leadership Lunch will be held on Thursday, May 16 at 11:45 a.m.  If you are the leader of a conservative or libertarian or pro-business organization and would like to be invited to attend, please contact Chuck Muth at (702) 942-3291 or chuck@citizenoutreach.com

ZEN WEBMASTER WANTED:Familiar with or able to quickly learn Word Press (preferably with the OptimizePress theme), Vertical Response email system, Gravity Forms and Authorize.net.  Pay stinks. Work environment even worse (your own home or government office).  And the boss is a real pain in the arse who thinks everything should be done correctly and by yesterday.  But we’ll give you a GREAT title for your resume! 

If crazy enough to be interested, shoot me an email at chuck@citizenoutreach.com

BRUSHFIRE ALERT:  From Citizen Outreach CEO Dan Burdish: Two bills come up for a voteon Tuesday which would be violations of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge should legislators vote in favor, AB54 and AB403.  We’ll be watching…
