Crowded Ballot for June Primary
Posted: Mar 28, 2012 11:30 AM PDT Updated: Mar 28, 2012 1:45 PM PDT
LAS VEGAS -- Nevada's
U.S. Senate race headlines a crowded ballot that is set for the June 12
statewide primaries now that Tuesday's deadline passed for nonjudicial
candidates to withdraw.
In the marquee battle Republican Sen. Dean Heller will attempt to
defend his seat this year, with Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley looming
as his chief foe. Both face nominal opposition in their respective party
primaries.
Heller's Republican challengers are Sherry Brooks of Reno, Richard
Charles of Crystal Bay, Eddie "In Liberty" Hamilton of Henderson and
Carlo "Nakusa" Poliak of Las Vegas. Among Democrats, Berkley faces Steve
Brown, Barry Ellsworth and Louis Macias of Las Vegas and Nancy Price of
Sparks.
As of February, Democrats enjoyed a statewide voter registration
advantage of 449,675 to 402,611 for the Republicans, with 173,946
nonpartisan residents and 49,508 Independent American voters also
registered. There were also 6,528 Libertarians and 2,855 Green Party
voters...

Our Public Service Goal is still to double Active Nevada Voter Registration by the General Election Deadline of Tuesday 16 October 2012 (NRS 293.560 Law). With a NV population approaching 3 M, and only 1,039,540 Active Registered Voters, each Nevada Patriot can register 36 (Nevada our 36th State) ballots for friends and family over the next month or six:

The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in
strict secrecy.
Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors.
The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

George Washington's
Farewell Address
To the People of the United States
Abstract
Washington's Farewell Address to the Nation appears in its entirety in
this issue of the Independent Chronicle.
Although it is by all accounts
the most famous and best-known of Washington's speeches, it was never
actually delivered orally by Washington.
By his own arrangement it first
appeared in a newspaper at Philadelphia. It was published seven days
later in The Independent Chronicle.
The Chronicle, published in Boston by Thomas Adams and Isaac Larkin, was
the leading New England voice of the Republican party.
Its pages
contained a number of outspoken contributors who could be counted on to
regularly issue vigorous assaults on the Federalists.
In Boston since
1776 the newspaper carved out a distinguished journalistic career for
one hundred years.
Washington's Farewell Address was similar to one he had prepared at the
end of his first term, when he had considered retiring from office.
Toward the close of his first term in 1792 James Madison prepared notes
to be used by Washington in formulating a valedictory speech.
Madison
submitted a draft but it was set aside when Washington abandoned his
plans for retirement. In May 1796 he took Madison's notes and wrote a first draft for the new
address.
Washington showed his manuscript to Alexander Hamilton and
asked him to revise it.
For the next four months various drafts were
sent back and forth between Washington and Hamilton.
Finally, Hamilton
read his version of the address to John Jay for criticism, discussing
the work paragraph by paragraph.
The result, rewritten again by
Washington in a final version, and admittedly a collaborative effort,
nonetheless embodies the thoughts, ideas and principles of the retiring
president.
Describing the farewell address in his book on the life of Washington,
Henry Cabot Lodge wrote "...no man ever left a nobler political
testament."
In his Address Washington announces his planned withdrawal from politics
"after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its (America's)
service."
He then sets forth his reasons against running for a third
term.
As if to bolster his argument, he states: "While choice and
prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not
forbid it."
 |
In his address Washington:
- Extolls the benefits of the federal government. "The unity of government...is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence...of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize."
- Warns against the party system. "It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
- Stresses the importance of religion and morality. "Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?"
- On stable public credit. "...cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible...avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt....it is essential that you...bear in mind, that towards the payments of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not...inconvenient and unpleasant..."
- Warns against permanent foreign alliances. "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world..."
- On an over-powerful military establishment. "...avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty."
In saying farewell to the new nation he helped create, Washington pointed
out:
".......the name of American, which belongs to you, in your
national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism..."
To the great soldier, surveyor, statesman and leader of his country...no tribute could be more fitting.
