WORD & IMAGE
This video production of the First Las Vegas Valley Community Convention is an intriguing mix of word, image and music. It is both a reminder of what happened at the launch of Nevadans for the Common Good and a foretaste of what a strong, broad based organization can do.

Australian Prison Boat
Australia's history of prison boats returns. Hulks housed convicts, now we use boats to imprison refugees.

Graffiti art is a public expression of image and text. Some of it rises to a standard of impact that grounds a community in transcendent values.

Capitol Hill
Democrats
Republicans
Confused on capital gains
Playing the blame game
Yet
The whole United States is in shame.
Voters don’t know which way to vote.
Democrats
Republicans
Both bad names.
Whichever way we vote
It’s still a shame,
Playing the political game.
But it’s people’s lives
Past and future being deprived.
Democrats
Republicans
Talking jive.
But all the poor people
Trying to survive.
What happened to “In God we trust”?
But the man is telling you to follow us.
Lying, cheating, stealing, committing crimes,
Still passing bills.
That’s Capitol Hill.
Democrats, if you win, where are we headed?
Republicans, if you win, where are we headed?
Everybody talking loud, saying nothing.
A divided house will not stand.
Democrats
Republicans
Still not the plan,
Still can’t come together man to man.
Capitol Hill needs another plan.

Take a closer look at what's happening in Las Vegas, Nevada
Consider the challenge of building a culture that values the young, the old, the cut out and the shut out. Nevadans for the Common Good accepts that challenge.
