Las Vegas (May 23, 2017) – The Libertarian Party of Nevada joins the Cuban Libertarian Party – José Martí in protesting and condemning the disappearance of Nelson Luis Rodriguez Chartrand.  LP Nevada heard of the disappearance and the details around it from the Chairwoman of the Cuban Libertarian Party.  Nelson Rodriguez Chartrand is the spokesman for the Cuban Libertarian Party and one of the driving forces behind the party’s aggressive canvassing across Havana, where the Cuban Libertarians have been peppering Havana with fliers denouncing State Security and demanding the release of the political prisoners Ubaldo Herrera Hernandez and Manuel Velazquez Visea.

Greetings once again from the front lines of the 79th Session of the Nevada Legislature! Today marks the 100th day of the session - only twenty days remain. This week was packed with activity - not only did I testify for or against many bills in their second hearings, I also actively lobbied many Assemblypeople on SJR4 and a potential ballot access bill for next session.

As the 2017 Legislative Session winds up, we are reprinting some of the statements made by Wendy Stolyarov, Legislative Director for the Libertarian Party of Nevada, to the legislature regarding pending legislation. This statement is a reprint of her statement on Assembly Bill 383, which requires peace officers to be trained in the constitutional and lawful use of force.

It’s been a little while since you’ve heard from me - the Legislative committees had a quiet period while legislation moved (or failed to) across the floors of both houses. This week, however, bills began to enter their opposite houses again - and I was able to continue our advocacy for or against a large number of bills. I was also interviewed on Talking Truth to Power with Jennifer Terhune and Brendan Trainor on Friday, April 28th - we had a great discussion about the Libertarian Party of Nevada’s work this Legislative Session, Donald Trump, North Korea, and a slew of other subjects. They’re interested in having me back on after the Session ends to get a final report from the LP, and I’ll be thrilled to join them.
