Carson City Assemblyman Pete Livermore probably is getting calls today after the group Nevadans for Nevada -- that's the sweet name for the public employee union groups trying to pressure lawmakers as they consider benefits reform -- hung the flier at right on doors across the capital. Similar fliers were distributed in the southern districts of state Sens. John Lee, a Democrat mulling a congressional bid, and Michael Roberson, a freshman Republican.

Game on.
