Alicia,
Government overreach never rests.
Less than two months since the state-wide mask mandate was lifted,
officials in Clark County instituted a new mandate for all employees
in the county. We at the Libertarian Party of Nevada stand in
vehement opposition to this policy. Individuals and
businesses are capable of making their own risk assessments. The
invasiveness of a mask mandate is hard to overstate. These petty
tyrants are literally telling you what to wear, and placing
their own judgement between you and a breath of fresh air.
We invite all libertarians in Las
Vegas and the surrounding area to join us in protesting this
obscenity. Saturday, July 31st at 11:00 AM we will be
lending our voice to the outcry against this policy. Come together
outside of the Southern Nevada Health District at 280 S. Decatur Blvd. in Las Vegas. RSVP via Meetup
or Facebook.
It’s important to remember that this
isn’t just about a mask. It’s about taking a strong stand against
the authoritarian push to normalize this level of government control
over the average person. The commission meeting that spawned this
policy also saw other ideas aired - such as a second lockdown, and a
requirement that businesses mandate vaccination for their employees
(you can read more about this on our
blog). We unequivocally oppose all such measures,
and encourage all people to resist and to refuse to
comply to the greatest extent possible.
In internal party news, the
Libertarian Party of Nevada has a special convention scheduled less
than two weeks away. The purpose of this special convention is to vote
on bylaw amendments that were proposed for the last state convention,
but not addressed due to venue time constraints.
The full text of all the proposed
amendments can be found on the
event page, and there are several items of importance to be
addressed. One of the proposed changes is to decrease state membership
dues from $60 annually to $25. Others would add members to the
executive committee, and there is one proposal to change the stated
purpose of the party.
Please prioritize your
attendance on Saturday, August 7th at 11:00 AM! Your voice is
important, and this is one opportunity to have an impact on the
direction of the Libertarian Party of Nevada. We want you to be a part
of the action.
Please note that to vote on the
amendments you must be a dues paying member of the party - which means
you are registered to vote as a Libertarian in the state of Nevada and
you have donated at least $60 to the party within the past 365 days.
Please take action to update your voter registration and pay
your dues beforehand. The convention will be held remotely
and should be accessible to all. We sincerely hope to see you there as
we continue to move the Party forward in the direction of liberty for
all.
