Fellow Nevadans --
We want to share the news with you that Nevada's own Sen. Reid was just
named the most powerful person in Congress by Congress.org: Click Here.
What does this mean for us in Nevada? As the most influential person
on The Hill, Sen. Reid can do things for Nevada that no one else could,
and he does every day.
As Nevada suffers with the highest home foreclosure rate in the nation,
Reid is working to keep struggling Nevadans in their homes. Reid
secured $130 million to provide foreclosure counseling for homeowners
who are facing foreclosure and has created mobile resource centers in
Nevada to help homeowners sort through their options. As the driving
force behind our nation's weakening economy, resolving the foreclosure
crisis is key to strengthening Nevada and the nation.
Sen. Reid also fought to cut the excessive tax breaks given to oil
companies — which are making record profits — so we can invest that
money instead renewable energy. Here in Nevada, where we could be the
New Frontier in a clean energy revolution, that could mean more
geothermal, solar and wind plants. Not only does that help clean up
our air, it also creates thousands of much-needed jobs.
Over the years, Reid has cut hundreds of millions of dollars from the
Yucca Mountain budget, crippling the project that would make our state
the nation's nuclear waste dump. He also secured $340 million to build
a veteran's hospital in Las Vegas so Nevada veterans won't have to
travel to other states to obtain the quality health care our nation
promised them.
These are just a few examples of the results Sen. Reid delivers for Nevada every day.
Sen. Reid is in his position as Senate Majority Leader because of the
incredible support Nevadans have given him over the years. Thank you
for everything you do to support him and all other Nevada Democrats who
are working to secure our economy, improve our health care system and
bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq.
