Wells Mayor says Reid “never more than a phone call away” and has “always put Nevadans as his first priority”

LAS VEGAS – Long-time Wells Mayor Rusty A. Tybo’s has authored an op-ed endorsing Senator Harry Reid for reelection in the Elko Daily Free Press. Tybo has served as Wells Mayor for more than two decades, and before that served on the Wells City Council. The Elko Daily Free Press also endorsed Senator Reid and published longtime State Senator Dean Rhoads' endorsement of Reid earlier this month.

This morning, Las Vegas Sun publisher Brian Greenspun convincingly articulates the case for the re-election of Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday, noting the paramount importance of Nevada having a representative with so much clout and such a high leadership position in these exceedingly tough economic times. And while that alone should be reason enough not to replace Sen. Reid as Nevada continues to dig our way out of this Great Recession, the notion that we would replace Sen. Reid with someone as extreme and dangerous as Sharron Angle would be a serious mistake that would cause great harm to our great state.

Again refusing to come clean with voters about her extreme agenda, Angle melts down on camera and then bans Nevada press from covering her

LAS VEGAS – If you thought Sharron Angle couldn’t be anymore ridiculous in her efforts to avoid Nevada voters and the media, think again.

LAS VEGAS – Sharron Angle’s strategy to avoid Nevada voters and the media has become so preposterous that she’s resorted to tactics like using a decoy to trick waiting reporters while scrambling out a side door, and she brazenly declared this week she wouldn’t talk to media until after the election is over.

If you could watch only one clip of Sharron Angle this election cycle, this would be the one you simply can’t miss.

Sharron Angle has consistently run from Nevada voters and media, lied about both her extreme and dangerous agenda and Sen. Reid’s record

LAS VEGAS – For the final weekend of the campaign, the Reid campaign today released new TV ad highlighting Sharron Angle running from Nevada voters and media to hide her extreme and dangerous agenda, as well as the dishonest smear campaign she has waged in her television ads – using thoroughly-debunked claims, despite knowing they’re false. Angle’s penchant for twisting the truth and just flat-out lying has been so well-documented and so consistent she’s been called “pathological” in the media.

LAS VEGAS – On the same day that Sharron Angle surfaced in Yerington, the town's mayor, Doug Homestead, announced his endorsement of Senator Harry Reid in an op-ed submitted to the Mason Valley News:

Angle promises not to address her extreme agenda with Nevada voters before the election, but her extreme agenda is captured clearly on tape

LAS VEGAS – While Sharron Angle continues her desperate attempt to hide her extreme agenda to kill Social Security and Medicare from Nevada voters, deploying such preposterous tactics as using a decoy to avoid television cameras, explosive new comments surfaced yesterday confirming her extreme belief that these critical programs run contrary to Biblical law – a radical view she first articulated on Christian talk radio before being muzzled by her DC handlers.

Explosive new comments caught on tape reaffirm Sharron Angle’s extreme hostility toward Social Security; despite post-primary lies, she’d eliminate it

LAS VEGAS – Despite months of denials (read: lies) by Sharron Angle and her DC handlers that statements irrefutably captured on tape suggesting she wants eliminate Social Security didn’t reflect her true views, POLITICO has unearthed explosive new audio reaffirming Angle’s extreme view that Social Security runs afoul of Biblical law – an especially alarming statement from a candidate that literally believes church-state separation is an “unconstitutional doctrine.”

According to a new report in POLITICO, Sharron Angle was caught telling what appears to be a local church group that Medicare and Social Security are symptoms of the nation's "wicked ways." Angle made these remarks despite falsely claiming over and over that she has never said she wanted to kill Social Security and that she wants to “save” Social Security.

Angle’s non-profit gave nearly $100,000 to Nevada Action Coalition, an extremist group now offering identical false voter fraud allegations as Angle

LAS VEGAS – According to a report just posted by the Las Vegas Sun, Sharron Angle’s former non-profit “We the People Nevada” backed the fringe group Nevada Action Coalition, which is now leveling the same unsubstantiated voter fraud allegations as made by the Angle campaign in the last two days. According to the report:

LAS VEGAS – The Harry Reid campaign today released a new TV ad depicting exactly what Nevada would look like if Sharron Angle was able to implement her extreme agenda. 

And while a desperate, losing Angle campaign is trying everything from slinging mud to outright lying in an attempt to hide her true agenda from voters, the evidence makes it abundantly clear: Sharron Angle’s Nevada would be a dangerous, scary place to live. 

Leading up to election day, Angle’s team goes all-out to suppress and intimidate voters, falsely allege fraud and break laws at polling places 

LAS VEGAS – While Sharron Angle continues to her all-out efforts to run from Nevada media and keep her extreme and dangerous agenda hidden from the voters of Nevada, her operatives are running a despicable voter suppression and intimidation campaign, taken straight from the classic Republican playbook of cycles past.

Sharron Angle’s extreme and dangerous agenda would devastate real Nevadans in the most harsh and personal ways imaginable

LAS VEGAS – Following an ad where top Nevada business leaders that suggested replacing Majority Leader Harry Reid with Sharron Angle would be a disaster for the state of Nevada, the Reid campaign today released a new TV ad featuring ordinary Nevadans describing in their own words what a Sharron Angle win would mean for them.

Since remarks caught on tape at a Las Vegas high school ignited a national media firestorm, Angle has demonstrated she’ll do anything to avoid press

LAS VEGAS – Sharron Angle literally used a human decoy to avoid media waiting outside a rare-but-still-private “campaign event” she held yesterday in Reno.

La campaña de Reid lanza el grupo Profesionales del Cuidado de la Salud por Reid

LAS VEGAS – Hoy el grupo Amigos por Harry Reid llevó a cabo una conferencia de medios integrando a un grupo independiente de profesionales de la salud como parte del grupo Profesionales del Cuidado de la Salud por Harry Reid que asesorará a la campaña en asuntos del cuidado de la salud. Durante el evento que se llevó a cabo en el Centro de Cáncer de Mujeres de Nevada el grupo de doctores y enfermeras atacó a los candidatos republicanos para el Senado 2010 por su oposición a obligar a las compañías de seguro a cubrir las mamografías.

“Esta elección se trata de la elección entre dejar las cosas como están y la visión del Senador Reid para un cuidado de salud de calidad y a precio accesible para todos los residentes de Nevada”, dijo el doctor Nick M. Spirtos, director de la División de Oncología Ginecológica del Centro de Cáncer de Mujeres de Nevada. “Desafortunadamente, Sharron Angle, Sue Lowden y Danny Tarkanian se opondrían en obtener esa meta permitiéndole a las compañías de seguro eliminar cobertura de los servicios preventivos básicos, como las mamografías.”

“Estoy tan agradecido por el fuerte apoyo que mi campaña ha recibido por parte del Sargento Mayor Estrada y del comité de veteranos de Nevada”, dijo el Senador Reid. “Después de arriesgar sus vidas por nuestro país, nosotros debemos honorar su servicio y asegurarnos que ellos reciban los beneficios que se han ganado. Yo continúo estando comprometido con asegurarme que las voces de los veteranos de Nevada siempre sean escuchadas en el Senado de los Estados Unidos”.
