  We share the Silver Senator campaign themes of William Morris Stewart, who unraveled the conflicting Comstock Lode Claims, founded the Stewart Indian School to teach vocational skills to the poor at charitable private expense, used Mark Twain humour to win his Senate Campaign, backed Silver for sound money, drafted the 15th Amendment for fair free voting and legislated wisely for railroads, regional economic development, safe mining practices and land irrigation rights:

Las Vegas Review Journal:

Meet the Candidates

"Richard Charles - Charles said he was spending one month this spring on a "whistle-stop tour to take America's pulse" as part of his run for Congress. 

A supporter of GOP presidential candidate Paul, Charles said his goal is to support and defend the Constitution and liberty as does the Texas congressman.

He said both the Democratic and Republican party leaders have violated the Constitution by going to war without congressional approval and passing laws that strip terror suspects [citizens] of their rights. 

He also decries expansion of government, which has bloated the federal budget and increased debt [at the expense of our economy].

"My goal is to represent all Nevadan and American citizens, rather than" the political party organizations and "big donor special interests," Charles said.
