The original bill was to strengthen Nevada law.  It was to declare Nevada land, water, minerals, and all other resources as property of the citizens of the State of Nevada.  It would have given the counties of Nevada a spirit of hope and pioneering.

It would have guaranteed those preempted rights that have been gained over the struggle of many years.  It would have opened the opportunity for the young to have a dream and take part in developing the great resources of Nevada.

It would have guarantee access to the public of each county and insure that the county Sheriff is the only policing power with constitutional jurisdiction and authority to protect our life, liberty and property.

As the bill sits before you, changed, perverted and amended from its original state, it will allow the County Sheriff to share his authority and give his powers away to foreign governments.  The federal government has tried to seize these powers from the county sheriff’s for many years through legislation.  YOU CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN TODAY!

Today on the floor, Assemblywoman Shelly Shelton, will propose amendments to restore AB408 back to its original intent. We charge each of you as representatives of the people to vote YES for Representative Shelton’s amendments. If the amendments are not approved, we solemnly charge each of you to kill the bill (AB408) on the floor.

Thank you,

Friends,

Our efforts, your efforts, on Nevada AB-408 have been perverted during the political process.

It no longer contains the original intent of the Bill we, you, supported.
