Hello Senator Reid's staff,
My name is Leo Murrieta, I am a strong supporter of Senator Harry Reid. I always defend the Senator when I get the opportunity, because I know that he has done many great things for Nevadans.

I'm writing you because I ask that the Senator encourage jobs in Nevada by becoming a supporter in the Senate for the Employer Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). Nevadans need his leadership with this bill that would retain jobs for Nevadans, strengthen our local economies, and provide stability to the rising unemployment figures in our great state.

The LGBTQ citizens of Nevada strongly support the Majority Leader, and were adamantly overjoyed at the passing of the Matthew Shepard and William Byrd Jr. Hate Crime Prevention Act. However, the great and presing matter at hand in our state is not a case of equal rights, it is simply and purely, jobs.

Senator Harry Reid, please continue representing Nevadans in the U.S. Senate. Please continue being a leader behind job creation, please become a champion of ENDA.

Your supporter,
Leo Murrieta

Hello Senator Ensign's staff,
My name is Leo Murrieta. I am a registered Democrat, but I strongly believe that job creation in Nevada should out-weigh partisanship. Please do not write me off.

I'm asking that Senator Ensign please support job creation and retention in Nevada. I'm asking that Senator John Ensign show leadership and the U.S. Senate and support the Employer Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

Nevadans need leadership with this bill that would retain jobs for Nevadans, strengthen our local economies, and provide stability to the rising unemployment figures in our great state.

Job creation is a bi-partisan issue. Creating and retaining jobs is what Nevada's crippled economy needs in order to recover.

I ask that Senator John Ensign please support job creation in Nevada. I ask that Senator John Ensign please stand up for Nevadans, I ask that Senator John Ensign please support legislation that would strengthen Nevada's economy.

Thank you,
Leo Murrieta

It was announced earlier today that the House Education and Labor Commitee is postponing the markup/review on ENDA which was scheduled for a vote on Wednesday at 10am.

The Commitee Chairman, Rep George Miller, said that there are ammendments that still have to be reviewed and that is why the bill is being postponed... according to the Bilerico article. It's true that the bill has gone unchanged for the most part since its original debut a few years back, but now we're playing politics.

Rep Miller needs to be told to stop messing with our equality! Pushing this back to December-February is pushing it back into the mid-term elections of next year, a time when support for LGBT legislation is going to be hard to come by. Thus, successfully killing ENDA.

If you have something to say to The Honorable George Miller, email him here.

If Nevada LGBT's want to know how D-3 Dina Titus would allow this bill to be postponed, email her here. (She doesn't cosponsor the bill anyway, so you may want to ask her about that  while you're at it.)
