I have not seen an all star line-up like this since the annual
NBA event held last year here in the greatest city of them all. The 2nd
WSOP $50,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. Tournament held at the Rio this past week
included a virtual Who’s Who in the world of pro poker. There were not
many “who’s he?” in this starting line-up!

Rep. Shelley Berkley Takes Part in Kick-Off event Saturday June
30 |
|
|
|
|
Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) will
join with local supporters of the effort to
create a national women's suffrage day, at a
kick-off event this Saturday, 11:30
a.m., at
the Mesquite Club, 702 East St. Louis (between Paradise and Maryland Pkwy), in Las Vegas.
 The event will feature local members of the League of Women Voters and other supporters of a national women's suffrage day, as well as Former Nevada First Lady Sandy Miller and a special skit presentation.
"Those who took part in the suffragist movement are role models who continue to inspire generations of young Americans through their words and deeds," said Berkley. "Were it not for these pioneers, I would have never had the opportunity to serve as a Congresswoman. As Americans, we must never forget the struggle they waged in order to guarantee women the right to vote."
Rep. Berkley has introduced legislation in the 110th Congress to honor America's suffragists and their work to win recognition for the right of women to vote in the United States. The Berkley legislation passed the House on May 9, 2007 and is awaiting approval in the Senate. Berkley's resolution recognizes the anniversary of the inaugural women's rights convention which took place at Seneca Falls, New York on July 19, 1848. |
