HI-HO, HI-HO, OFF TO WASHINGTON WE GO

“If (Rep. Dean) Heller doesn’t run (against Sen. Harry Reid next year), the Republicans are left with Snow White and at least seven dwarves. Snow White, aka GOP Chairwoman Sue Lowden, may run if Heller opts out, believing as many Republicans do that even though his numbers are abysmal, Reid may not be taken out by a dwarf – even a dwarf who can self-fund. The only decision for Lowden is whether she wants to get into a campaign against the man Republicans love to call Dirty Harry. After a go-round with him, nobody looks like Snow White anymore.”

HAPPY HOUR BREW-HA-HA!!

Alright, folks, the big day is here. Our kickoff First Friday Happy Hour is tonight at 5 pm! Come have a beer and discuss Obamacare, Obama Motors and Obama Bank & (Mis)Trust with our special VIP guest, Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona.

Tonight’s inaugural event is growing by leaps and bounds, with over a hundred like-minded conservatives and libertarians already RSVP’ed to join us and toss back a cold one (or two) – including legendary local conservative talk-show host Alan Stock and Nevada GOP Chairman Sue “Snow White” Lowden (ask her in person if she’s gonna run against Reid!).

Don’t forget to RSVP if you haven’t already: firstfriday@citizenoutreach.com.

Be there on time to get a few special treats we haven’t mentioned…and don’t forget, the first 100 in the door will be entered for a drawing to win one of two autographed books.

For directions or more info, visit our website, www.firstfridaynevada.com. And please, don’t forget to say hi to our “Hostess with the Mostest” Karri Bragg. See you tonight at Stoney’s!

IRON FIST ADDS PAIR OF VELVET GLOVES

As part of my effort to create jobs and get the economy moving again, I’m officially announcing today the addition of two new key staffers for Citizen Outreach.

Elizabeth Crum has been tapped as Vice President of Communications and Karri Bragg is joining us as Vice President of Operation.

Better known as “E”, Elizabeth is a “new” media expert and author of E!! The True Conservative Story, a cutting edge blog known for witty commentary and sharp analysis. As a blogger, E earned the 2008 Sam Adams Alliance’s “Blogivist of the Year” award. In addition, she is the co-founder and CEO of Radio for Conservatives (RFC Radio), an online radio station featuring up and coming conservative talk show hosts.

E’s communications know-how started early through her collegiate experience in journalism, and has since grown to a broad expertise in new-media strategy that will bolster Citizen Outreach’s pioneering efforts in this area.

Karri landed in Nevada last fall from Washington, D.C., where she served as State Government Affairs Manager at Americans for Tax Reform. In this role, Karri tracked state budget and tax legislation and represented ATR in press campaigns, policy briefs and testimonials in national and state media outlets. Her published work and comments have been featured in State Tax & Budget News, the Baltimore Sun, and CNNmoney.com to name a few.

No stranger to grassroots activism, Karri will be integral to the creation and growth of new and innovative programs at Citizen Outreach. In fact, tonight’s First Friday Happy Hour was Karri’s idea.

I can’t possibly overstate the level of talent, professionalism and experience these two up-and-coming political “starlets” bring to the table for limited-government conservatives and libertarians here in Nevada. But don’t get the wrong impression that these gals are all beauty and no bite.

Personally, I like to use a club – but E and Karri tend to prefer more subtle means of evisceration which are often every bit as effective in political warfare, if not more so. Liberals (and RINOs), ye be warned.

HELP WANTED

Citizen Outreach, Nevada’s foremost conservative/libertarian grassroots lobbying organization, is preparing to expand and create new programs to further promote the ideals of limited government. To that end we are looking to bring onboard a unique individual who is capable of creating and developing strong relationships with individual and corporate donors who share our principles.

As Vice President of Finance, you’ll be directly responsible for all aspects of fundraising, including prospecting and donor relations through direct mail, telephone, email, events and personal solicitation. You’ll also be responsible for developing major donor programs – including monthly contributions, major donor clubs and grant solicitation.

The ideal candidate will already have significant experience in these areas; however, we are willing to train an exceptional individual with sales and marketing experience outside of the political and public policy arena.

Most importantly, the individual selected must be capable of working independently with minimal supervision. This person, along with sharing our philosophy that government is the problem, not the solution, must be willing to coordinate with other project leaders and visionary contributors in what would be considered, by most standards, an informal workplace. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working at a rapid pace, and be prepared to interject new ideas and concepts to help expand the organization.

Interested individuals should send a brief bio in your own words (two-page max; professionally prepared resumes not accepted) describing your work background and why you might be interested in this position to Chuck Muth at chuck@citizenoutreach.com. All inquiries will remain strictly confidential.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS

“My daughter will enter kindergarten in a little over 2 weeks. I have many friends who are teachers. It’s pretty scary when even my friends who teach in the public school system tell me to put my kids into private school. I only wish I could afford it after I pay my taxes.”
