Do you have what it takes to be executive
director of the Nevada ACLU? It's based in Las Vegas and this
chapter is dedicated to defending the whole Bill of Rights (even
No. 2!):
Imagine working on legal observing with the organizers of Burning Man, a famous experimental art festival in the Black Rock Desert. Imagine advocating for an Elvis impersonator’s right to perform for tourists on the Strip. Imagine consulting with criminal justice reform groups, gun rights activists, and LGBT community advocates all in one day. Nevada is a patchwork quilt of diverse communities, histories, and ideologies, and the ACLU travels among them regularly, always guided by the constitutional principles at the core of our mission.
Hat tip to UNLV's and Wilson Quarterly's Stephen Bates, who writes, "It's an interesting ACLU chapter (pro-Second Amendment rights) in an interesting place (fairly libertarian state, but casinos don't cotton to the First Amendment)."

What do the casinos have against the 1st?
Not denying it, I just actually don't know.

I think it may be a reference to street performers, or possibly people handing out political pamphlets. Don't want to scare the rubes from flyover country.

Yeah, because you wouldn't want any political pamphlets crowding out the sea of strip club flyers that waft around your ankles like so much seafoam! Glad to see the Venetian and Pari Paris taking the valiant stand against litter!
Sheesh!

Would I have to know all the bracelet colors?

In the photo, which one is the Elvis impersonator?

Nevada is a great state to live in as long as you don't mind being unemployed.

I love Nevada. I bought a house in Reno about 4 months ago and plan to move up there sometime in the next few years. I just Sharon Angle beats Reid for Senate, and then I hope Angle lose next time.
