Right Pride on Nevada

Fiscal Responsibility. During the economic boom in Nevada, the legislature found ways to spend excess revenues. Now the revenues are gone but the programs still exist. We must use zero-based budgeting to ensure taxpayers are not punished for the irresponsible spending habits of our state government.
Diversify. In order to protect our economy we must diversify beyond tourism and gaming. The current recession is a stark reminder that when times are tough, tourism decreases and brings our state's employment and revenue numbers with it.
No Corporate Income Tax. With no state corporate or personal income tax, among other tax advantages, Nevada is extremely business-friendly. We must continue to be a tax-friendly state in order to attract new businesses that will put Nevadans back to work.
Renewable Energy. Take full advantage of Nevada's open spaces and year-round sun to create a viable renewable energy industry in our state.

Support for School Choice. Help families provide the best educational opportunities for their children through Open Enrollment, School Vouchers, and Charter or Empowerment Schools.
Home Schooling. Support a family's choice to home school their children, and ensure a smooth and easy transition into higher education.
Accountability. With Nevada's K-12 graduation rates at 47% (50th in the nation), and higher education six-year graduation rates below 50%, we need real accountability. Schools and educators must be held accountable to both parents and taxpayers.
Transparency. Parents and taxpayers should know how education funds are spent. Incredibly high salaries and a bloated administrative bureaucracy has taken money out of the classroom and away from our goal of educating the children of Nevada. Only through understanding why the system is broken, can we truly fix it.
Efficiency. The Clark County School District should be broken up into smaller districts, taken out of the construction business, the food-service business and the transportation business. Furthermore, with 87% of the CCSD operating budget going to compensation and benefits, there is almost nothing left for the classroom.

Right To Carry. Uphold our state's open and concealed carry gun laws. These laws enable gays and lesbians, who are at a higher risk of being the target of violence, to defend themselves.
State Income Tax. Uphold Nevada's Constitutional prohibition of a state income tax.
Domestic Partnerships. Uphold Nevada's Domestic Partnership Law as a way to legally recognize same-sex relationships in our state, while adhering to the state constitution's definition of marriage.
Nevada's Land. Currently the federal government owns 87% of Nevada. This land was taken unconstitutionally. We want it back.
State Sovereignty. The U.S. Constitution does not give the federal government powers over marriage, health care, the environment and many other issues -- including unfunded mandates. The 10th Amendment gives Nevada the right to handle these issues at the state level.
