Nevada Eagle Leader Janine Hansen

Nevada Eagle Leader Janine Hansen finished off another successful session lobbying the Nevada Legislature. The Nevada Eagle Forum helped pass a law that prohibits trafficking people for illegal purposes and that penalizes businesses that hire “unauthorized aliens”; a law that prohibits the state government from confiscating firearms during emergency situations; a law of reciprocity for concealed carry weapons permits; and a resolution urging Congress not to reauthorize the “fast track” approval of international trade agreements. Nevada Eagle Forum helped to defeat a bill authorizing a statewide lottery and a bill that would make failing to wear a safety belt a primary offense.

Missouri Eagle Leader Pat Andrews

Missouri Eagle Leader Pat Andrews has helped ward off Missouri casino owners for the 13th year in a row!

Founder of CasiNo Watch, Pat, along with her husband Mark, worked tirelessly to defeat a bill that would remove Missouri’s $500 loss limit. The bill, sponsored by two Republicans, tied removing the loss limit to government scholarships for bright Missouri college students. The Missouri Teen Eagles spent several days talking to senators about the bill.
