Part of the reason Russ can't succeed is he's allergic to work.
Contrary to how the internet makes people feel, local politics is local. If you want to change a community like West Wendover, you need to join it. You need to show up for it. You cannot introduce yourself as "a guy from LocalLargeCity." Notice people like the hotel owner in Winnemucca: They know who he is; He volunteers for shit; He shows up to the local county fair or whatever.
Instead of committing to one or two communities, contributing there, and making connections through being useful, Russ is going to come down from on high and lecture these people.
Note what ISN'T in any of these emails: Any indication that Russell knows anything about West Wendover other than how it could be useful to him, any indication of what the culture of the area is, what is important to them, hell, what local sports team they like. Any praise for West Wendover. Anything he likes about West Wendover (other than how it could be useful to him).

"I'm some big city person here to change your city." Great opening. Small town people love that shit."Since I live in vegas, it was difficult “cold calling” people to try finding the 5 residents to form the legally required affidavit committee and since
they would have their names public, I can understand any fear of retribution for having their names public."
Huh. Interesting question. I wonder if you should make the attempt to actually know and understand, Russell.Every incorporated city in Elko County has brothels except West Wendover. To me, it doesn’t make sense why WW is holding out.
Small towns love city people telling them about how they suck.you’re a small town and so gossip could hurt people who have their names on affidavits.
Is he seriously telling the gd mayor how she should politic in the town she's mayor of?but the advisory question route is where you should have gone with the abortion clinic
Oh that's GREAT. Rural Nevadans LOVE the ACLU and REALLY want to be SF or NYC. All you need is the SPLC for the trifecta.ASN has the backing of the ACLU. A few liberal groups in San Francisco and NYC are backing my efforts to legalize it in West Wendover and they are happy to be at the town hall meeting with me.
