May God bless America , the land of the free, the home of the brave and the greatest country on the face of this earth!

Very devastating to communities with a small tax base.

We can always do better and we will by making sure government respects the wishes of those who fund it ? the hardworking taxpayers.

Alternative arrangements are an important tool that the federal government should be encouraging in situations such as the one we are experiencing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

You want to make sure that we do no harm to those people who depend on needed government services that have no other means by which to obtain them, ... There has to be a reasonable approach.

I'm just like every other voter and taxpayer in the state of Nevada, ... I want to make sure that government does not overburden me as a taxpayer, but I also want to be sure we can fund our schools.

We must protect the freedoms we enjoy today to raise a family, to start and grow a business and keep government at arms length from the door of our homes to the door of our businesses.

I thank God tonight for freedom - - those who bought and paid for it with their lives in the past - - those who will protect it in the present and defend it in the future.

The best way to lead Nevada is to know Nevada, and trust the people and their values, ... Nevada remains one of the last true beacons of Western freedom and opportunity, and I promise we will keep it that way.
