Lies about Guantanamo
You've no doubt heard the argument from those opposed to closing Guantanamo that "we just don't have enough secure locations for those inmates" inside the U.S. prison system. But as Criminal Justice blogger Matt Kelley points out, the claim that a nation that imprisons 2.4 million people can't find cells for 241 people is simply preposterous. We certainly have room for Guantanamo detainees in our Supermax prisons, and they could be safely detained in these facilities without jeopardizing the security of the U.S. Indeed, if we believe these maximum security prisons were unsafe, why are they ok for serial killers?

BIG NEWS!!! SB283 Veto Overridden in Both Houses!!! YES WE DID!!!

Young Democrats of Nevada would like to thank all of its members that contacted their Senator and/or Assemblymen to tell them that you wanted them to override the Governor's veto of the domestic partnership bill SB283!

Yesterday the Senate voted to override and today it went to the Assembly and they did the right thing! It is now official! The veto is over turned. Our Governor with his 9% approval rating cannot take this away from Nevadans!!

Thank you for all that you have done! We have a lot to do in the future and I am really glad that we have this amazing victory!

We are going to continue to help build a movement in Nevada!
