Blue Notes Mar-Apr 18-Final The Voice of Douglas County Democrats MARCH - APRIL 2018 Blue Notes Blue Stars Rising Dinner 2018 An overflow crowd of enthusiastic Democrats from every corner of Nevada attended the Blue Stars Rising Dinner at the Carson Valley Inn February 17. It was a full house for our Blue Stars Rising Dinner Feb. 17 at the Carson Valley Inn. A theme of unity and a “blue wave” in the upcoming midterm elections was shared by keynote speakers Steve Sisolak and Chris Giunchigliani, Democratic candidates for Governor. That theme was shared by all other speakers: Aaron Ford (running for Attorney General), Andrew Martin (candidate for State Treasurer), Catherine Byrne (State Controller hopeful), Kate Marshall (candidate for Lt. Governor), Nelson Araujo (running for Secretary of State), Patricia Ackerman (candidate for Assembly District 39), and District 2 Congressional candidates Clint Koble, Rick Shepherd and Vance Alm.

The presentation will be hosted by Nnedi Stephens, president of the Washoe Democrats’ Black Caucus. “13th” was nominated in 2017 for best documentary feature. Its title stems from the 13th Amendment, which was ratified to officially end slavery in the United States. The documentary, however, contends slavery was simply altered since then, citing how the prison “industry” has profited by overincarceration of Black Americans since the end of the Civil War. It was directed by Ava DuVernay. Our new headquarters is located in the Ironwood Shopping Center, 1758 Hwy 395 N Suite K, Minden. LEFT: DCDCC Chair Kimi Cole’s “selfie” at at the 2018 Caucus and Convention, held at Douglas High School February 24. Douglas County Caucus, Convention proves to be both fun and productive The Douglas County Democratic Caucus and Party Convention held February 24 at Douglas High School was not only a great opportunity to meet fellow Democrats from your neighborhood, but a lot was accomplished. Dozens of planks were submitted for the county’s platform. Some were debated at great length. Some were slam dunks for adoption. Although most were adopted, some were not. The day also resulted in 51 county Democrats signing up to be members of the Central Committee. And representatives were selected to attend the State Convention June 23 in Reno. A comment repeated often: “I’m proud to be a Democrat in Douglas County.” The voice of Douglas County, Nevada Democrats MARCH-APRIL 2018 Page 6 Profile Dr. Peggy McKee Meet Peggy McKee, a retired traveling physician and a Democrat’s Democrat. She’s been a Democrat all her adult life, but her interest began when she was a freshman in college in Ohio. “Most of the protest then was over civil rights,” she recalled. As a freshman, she wasn’t too active. Then along came the Vietnam War, and she got more disenchanted with the state of the world. Today she is active, currently by helping update voter registration lists. Peggy earned her medical degree at Stony Brook University in New York. She calls it “the Berkeley of the East.” Medicine was not her first career choice…but it was the best. She also studied and worked in the field of city planning at Cornell. The Democratic doctor had been thinking about retiring for several years but realized it was time after an accident in which she’d cut her hand with a scalpel. She hung up her stethoscope two years ago and hasn’t looked back. Although her medical career was largely on the road, she has now settled in her home at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe. “After Trump was elected I spent the next two months crying every time I watched the news,” she said. “By the following February I met some people who had similar attitudes. We got involved.” “I don’t hear anyone extolling his virtues,” she said of the Chief Executive. It is “absolutely essential” that we stop worrying about “fine PEGGY MCKEE distinctions among Democrats, or even between Democrats and Independents,” she said. “What’s really important is that we don’t elect any more Republicans, because they are always going to side with Trump, and he’s a disaster. On the current Administration’s tax cuts, McKee has a dire warning: “They are going to lead to more and more disasters,” she predicted. “His tax cuts really will make income inequality even worse than it is already and eventually will lead to either a severe recession or possibly even a civil war, neither of which I want to see.” On Trump’s proposed tariffs, she said he is now leaving the door open so he can make deals. “It’s a bargaining chip. He’s using it to be a bully.” She draws on her medical background to oppose today’s lax gun controls, especially on automatic weapons. “They are made to kill people. That’s all they are for,” she said of the high-powered rapid-fire guns. “There’s just so much rhetoric about the Second Amendment that makes no sense.” She praised the young people’s efforts to raise the age to buy weapons and to ban assault weapons, noting, “When the kids were attacked (in Florida) by an assault rifle, they saw what it did…it destroyed human flesh.” She added that it makes “no sense for people to be on the no-fly list and not allowed to get on a plane, but they are allowed to have a gun.” On another topic, she noted, “We are a nation of immigrants” and said it is wrong for Trump to label all Mexicans as rapists and criminals. “If you really want to solve undocumented workers coming in from Mexico,” she said, “you don’t do it by building a wall. You do it by requiring employers to verify who they are hiring.” She added many undocumented workers are desperately needed and urged Congress to find a way to get those people hired legally. Closer to home, Peggy urged people to stay informed and to get Democrats elected at all levels. The voice of Douglas County, Nevada Democrats MARCH-APRIL 2018 Page 7 From the Chair ...
