My campaign for State Senator has started off with a bang. I have taped a video on Cox Cable. You can see it by following the instructions on my web site at www.electtomjones.com.
Then I had a photo shoot for the Review Journal so that they would have picture for their files to use when Press Releases or News Articles are published. Thank you RJ for your pro active efforts.
On April 10th, I had a booth at the Las Vegas Gun Show, it was very interesting. My wife, Raye, and I met a lot of other candidates from other parties. We were surprised how many attendees were from California! They cheered us on while we spoke out on our plans to save our State and National freedoms, fight to lower taxes and protect our state borders from illegal immigrants. Many felt it was too late for California to fight back, their battle was lost years ago. Now they are slaves to the system. How sad!
On April 13th, I did a 15 minute radio interview on Fox News Radio (1280am). Jeremy Wayne was an excellent interviewer and he made me feel very comfortable.
I appreciate Fox News Radio (1280am) for giving me the opportunity to express what I would do when elected. I promise to fight for lower taxes, smaller government and get more education for our children NOT more MONEY for education. Once again I applauded Fox News Radio (1280am) for their efforts to educate the Las Vegas Voter on what the candidates stand for and who they are. You can hear the interview on my web site or at www.electtomjones.com/Foxinterview.wav .
On April 15th, tax day or, as Jeremy Wayne calls it, punishment day, a Tea Party Event was held at Sunset Park which I attended. There were about 400 to 500 people there. There were several IAP candidates and supporters in attendance. I love it that Las Vegas is showing up in large numbers and getting involved in their local, State and US candidates and what they stand for.
On April 17th, I had two interviews. One was with the Veterans in Politics and the other was with Asian Americans group. WOW!!! What nice folks and I really appreciate how much effort was they put into getting acquainted with the candidates that were willing to take the time and energy to show up and share their views with them. That’s all they asked. The Asian Americans group had a wonderful buffet of the tastiest Asian food that would give the strip buffets a run for their money!!! I enjoyed their hospitality and spoke to their organization on my views and what I am going to do when I get elected.
I hope to have DVD’s of both of these interviews soon.
On April 21st, I attended a meet and greet for the Nurses Association of Nevada. I met many fine people. The nurse practitioners were very concerned about the new Obamacare bill. They said that they would not be able to take care of all the patients and that many would just have to wait much longer.
On April 22nd, I attended the Clark County Independent American Party candidates meeting. We discussed the next meeting of the Clark County Committee meeting and many of the current issues.
On April 24th, several IAP candidates had a booth at the Boys Scouts Expo at Sunset Park. My wife, Raye and I were very impressed with the event, community support and the hundreds of fine of young men that some day will be the leaders of our country. We had the opportunity to talk to many families about the pressing issues concerning education and our children’s and grandchildren’s future. My greatest concern is our future generations. I must protect their freedoms and rights which we will someday left to them as our legacy and their hope. Several voters registered with the IAP and gave their support for the 100k voter register challenge!!!
On April 30th, finally, on the last day of the month, I attended a Republican candidate debate hosted by Heidi Harris of KDWN-AM 720. It was informative and very lively.
This election in November will prove to a first!!! With the Republicans fighting to look like the conservative concerned right and the Democrats trying to blend in the background and not draw too much attention to the fact their party is taking the country down! Both parties are learning new ways to stay in power and maintain their same o same o. Doing the same thing, but promising different results is the definition of insanity!!!!
Basically, after my first month campaigning, I have found that people are very upset with the State and Local Government. I also found that I have a lot to do to get my campaign jump started.
Although I do not have a primary election, my goal is to campaign hard now to get a head start on my opponents. I need lots of help, campaign funding and prayers.
Americans Unite, We MUST Save Our Country!!!

Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen explains SB 1070
I'm Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen.
I want to explain SB 1070 which I voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer.
Rancher Rob Krantz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.
The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.
Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.
One man told of two illegal's who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can't leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.
The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border.
Federal prisons have over 35% illegal's and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegal's. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.
The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.
The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop.
The border can be secured. We have the technology we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under.
I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the other Central American or South American countries? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish also. We have already lost our history it is no longer taught in our schools. And we have lost our borders.
The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany . Are you kidding. The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal's from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause like a traffic stop to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote, get a hunting license, etc.. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street etc... The Socialist who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something and that something the Socialist wants us to do is just let them come. They want the "Transformation" to continue.
Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free.

THE RELUCTANCE TO TAX OURSELVES: Nevada's depravity
The tone of this article is terribly condescending.
No one should be forced to work for someone else.
John Locke wrote,
In the Federalist no. 79, Alexander Hamilton wrote,
In the Federalist no. 73, Alexander Hamilton wrote,
As it is we work almost 6 months a year to pay all the various taxes that we have to pay. We are like the serfs under feudalism.
Rather than a fiscal crisis, Nevada suffers a crisis of greed, selfishness and stupidity. The state's elementary and secondary public education system, its universities and its other public services -- notably child welfare, health and mental health -- are already among the most poorly funded and weakest in the nation. Yet this wealthy state is currently in the process of further reducing its commitment to public services.
No one should be forced to work for someone else.
John Locke wrote,
"Though the earth and all inferior creatures be common [as the gift from God] to all men, yet every man has a 'property' in his own 'person'. This, nobody has any right to but himself. The 'labor' of his body and the 'work' of his hands, we may say , are properly his."
In the Federalist no. 79, Alexander Hamilton wrote,
"In the general course of human nature a power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will."
In the Federalist no. 73, Alexander Hamilton wrote,
In the main it will be found that a power over the man's support is a power over his will."
As it is we work almost 6 months a year to pay all the various taxes that we have to pay. We are like the serfs under feudalism.

Parking rates at McCarran Airport
There are 2 letters to the editor in the Review Journal about the increased parking rates at McCarron. They both make great points.
The first states,
It goes on to point out that he has
I couldn't find a link to the second letter so I will put most of it here.
I have used the short term parking lot at least twice a month for 13 years. I have never had a seen a line to leave this parking lot in all that time.
You are already having to pay more for government services. Wait until the next legislation session. Taxes will be raised again unless you vote in people who will fight to cut taxes and get our economy growing.
The first states,
I see that Randall Walker, director of the Clark County Department of Aviation, has spent $13 million in taxpayer money to "improve" our airport experience by squeezing every last dollar he can from us while we use the airport parking facility that we already paid for with our taxes in the first place ("Airport opens 'Express Exit,'" Wednesday Review-Journal). Mr. Walker, who is paid a public salary and benefits package of $375,000, just wants us to all to "pay our fair share."
It goes on to point out that he has
10 assistant directors with public salary and benefits packages ranging from $130,000 to $205,000 per year.
I couldn't find a link to the second letter so I will put most of it here.
Mr. Walker also said it wasn't "fair: that some people drove around looking for meters that still had time left on them. so. What? The airport was still getting paid for the use of the slot--and even getting paid if it stayed empty.
Finally, he said this will reduce lines leaving the parking lot. I never waited in line leaving short-term parking as a result of having to pay. I already paid when I parked. Now what I'll be waiting for is a traffic opening as a result of those who will keep driving around the airport rather than paying the increased fees.
Once again, another bureaucrat feeding us a line in the name of getting more money: "It''ll be better for you. Trust me."

The Financial Bill
One question asked of candidates at the Republican debate last night was about the financial bill. They were asked if "this was a dog and pony show".
I think it was more than a "dog and pony show". It was an attempt to blame the financial industry for something that the congress encouraged and actually started.
Along with the Federal Reserve, Congress was responsible for this entire financial collapse. Of course, the financial industry participated. Congress forced them into making bad loans. They looked for a way to protect themselves. They found it to be very profitable. So they promoted it.
We cannot let the Fed and Congress get away with what they did by blaming others.

Arizona immigration law already having an effect
I was at the Republic congressional debates at the Orleans last night. One of the big issues was the Arizona immigration law. Every candidate supported it.
This article in the Review Journal on Thursday says that it is already having an effect.
It also states that
Where do you think that they are going? Could it be Nevada?
We have pass legislation similar to Arizona's in the next legislative session.
This article in the Review Journal on Thursday says that it is already having an effect.
Many of the cars that once stopped in the Home Depot parking lot to pick up day laborers to hang drywall or do landscaping now just drive on by.
Arizona's sweeping immigration bill allows police to arrest illegal immigrant day laborers seeking work on the street or anyone trying to hire them. It won't take effect until summer but it is already having an effect on the state's underground economy.
It also states that
An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession.
Where do you think that they are going? Could it be Nevada?
We have pass legislation similar to Arizona's in the next legislative session.
So just what is it that defines profiling anyway
This letter to the editor asks the question,
The writer uses a robbery situation to show that police use profiling all the time. That is how they catch criminals.
They interview the witnesses and then look for someone who meets the description. This happens all the time when a crime is committed and no one complains.
So we have a crime of illegal immigration. They police have a description. They go out and look for people that fit the description.
I don't see the problem. In fact, the Arizona Immigration law forbids racial profiling. I would work to get a similar law passed here in Nevada before it is too late.
