CALL TO ACTION:  Take the time to contact your Member of Congress today by calling the Senate switchboard at (202)-224-3121, and oppose any bill that increases taxes, raises premiums, kills jobs and puts bureaucrats between patients and doctors.

The Sun’s report highlights the differing job reports in the state -- with the state of Nevada, the federal government, and Harry Reid’s office all disagreeing on the true amount.  This because, as
