1/8/11: Tragedy in Tucson. Our thoughts and prayers are with Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), her family, her staff, and the innocent bystanders injured today in a senseless shooting. Details on her condition, the shooter, or victims have not been made available, click HERE for updates.

Action is Brewing advocates education, information, and action as it applies to communicating with public servants, influencing legislation, and working towards the election of fiscal conservative representation. We are supporters of the second amendment as it applies to sport, personal protection, and recreation and do not, in any way, advocate violence under any circumstance.

We are committed to peaceful demonstration and are diligent in hiring private security for all of our events to ensure peaceful protests, protection of attendees, and to ensure the health and safety of the general public. Please join AIB in condemning all forms of violence and mayhem as we work towards our conservative goals.

Seen here, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords posing with Speaker of the House John Boehner on Wednesday 1/5.

Action Is Brewing!
Supporting Fiscal Conservative Candidates in NV
10/16/10: On this, the first day of early voting, AIB would like to share the cumulative results of data collected on candidates for Federal and Statewide, NV State Assembly, and NV State Senate candidates.
Action is Brewing, the original grassroots tea party group in Nevada , announces it unconditional support for Sharron Angle, US Senate Candidate for the State of Nevada. Sharron Angle, a long time social and fiscal conservative, has a consistent track record of voting against discretionary earmarks, taxes and fees during her tenure as a member of the NV State Assembly.

We believe she'll bring this same approach to the out of control spending so prevalent in Washington .

The debate between Sharron Angle and Harry Reid on October 14,2010 provided a clear and obvious choice between the competing philosophies of fiscal restraint vs. tax and spend, personal responsibility vs. a big government "nanny state" and a strong national defense vs. a "cut and run" politician. Sharron Angle's integrity, strength of character, and dedication to the US Constitution, fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency, will take these much needed values with her to Washington, D.C. on behalf of Nevada.

We chose endorsing entities across Nevada that represent the best interests of fiscal conservatives, constitutionalists, small businesses, and taxpayers. Where appropriate, we factored in voting records. All criteria are clearly outlined on www.actionisbrewing.com, under ELECTION. Not all races provided a clear cut winner, so we refrained from listing a suggested candidate in those races.

It's your job, as a voter, to be informed about the candidates, the issues, and the impact your decisions will have on the future of Nevada. We hope you find this information useful and invite you to follow the links provided below for access to much more information on candidates.
