Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:
1. Article II.I, Constitution of Arizona, is proposed to be added as follows if approved by the voters and on proclamation of the Governor:
1. Declaration of sovereignty
2. Article XX, paragraphs 4 and 12, Constitution of Arizona, are proposed to be amended as follows if approved by the voters and on proclamation of the Governor:
Fourth. Public lands; Indian lands
Fourth. The people inhabiting this state do agree and declare that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated and ungranted public lands lying within the boundaries thereof and to all lands lying within said THE boundaries OF THIS STATE owned or held by any Indian or Indian tribes, the right or title to which shall have been acquired through or from the United States or any prior sovereignty, and that, until the title of such Indian or Indian tribes shall have been extinguished, the same shall be, and remain, subject to the disposition and under the absolute jurisdiction and control of the Congress of the United States.
Twelfth. Lands granted to state
Twelfth. The state of Arizona and its people hereby consent to all and singular the provisions of the enabling act approved June 20, 1910, concerning the lands thereby granted or confirmed to the state, EXCEPT FOR the terms and conditions upon ON which said grants and confirmations are made, and the means and manner of enforcing such terms and conditions , all in every respect and particular as in the aforesaid enabling act provided AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE USE AND DISPOSITION OF THE LANDS .
3. The Secretary of State shall submit this proposition to the voters at the next general election as provided by article XXI, Constitution of Arizona.
In 1910, the United States Congress passed the Arizona-New Mexico Enabling Act, allowing Arizona to become a state. The Enabling Act also granted Arizona approximately 10.9 million acres of state trust land, subject to certain terms for the management, operation, use and disposition of those trust lands.
Proposition 120 would amend the Arizona Constitution to declare Arizona's sovereign and exclusive authority and jurisdiction over the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within the state's boundaries. Specifically excluded from this declaration are Indian reservations, lands of the United States and federal "forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards, and other needful buildings" obtained for federal government purposes, as required by Article I, section 8, clause 17 of the United States Constitution.
Proposition 120 also would amend the Arizona Constitution to repeal Arizona's disclaimer of all right and title to public lands within the state (except Indian reservations) and to repeal Arizona's consent to provisions of the Enabling Act.
Proposition 120 would declare that each state possesses full attributes of sovereignty on an equal footing with all other states, as provided by the United States Constitution, and that state sovereignty is fundamental to the security of individual rights, free government and the inherent political power of the people.
(I support Proposition 120. When the western territories became states, the federal government violated the enabling acts that incorporated them and retained land within each of the western states in violation of federal law. Federal retention of that land hurts the economy of the western states and leaves them struggling to adequately fund public education, nurture their economies, and manage their forests and natural resources. Simply put, federal control and interference in state affairs inhibits Arizona's ability to provide for the welfare, health and safety of our people.
The EPA threatens to close coal-generating power plants with excessive regulations. Closing these plants will result in higher utility costs for everyone.
We can't build a bridge or perform needed flood control activities because of interference from numerous federal agencies.
We experience catastrophic forest fires, loss of wildlife habitat, threats to community watersheds, and loss of jobs, all of which affect the economy everywhere in the state. When the federal government mismanages our forestlands, the state cannot intervene.
Roads are being closed and citizens denied access across federal lands.
It takes years to obtain mining permits from the federal government, and some areas are closed to mining all together. As a result, Arizona loses billions of dollars that could be used to fund education and address other budget concerns.
Meanwhile, our abundant natural resources remain under the control of unelected federal bureaucrats.
Arizona is a sovereign state, and we have a right to control the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife, and other natural resources within our boundaries. Passing Prop 120 would be a small but important step in asserting our state rights and a rejection of the archaic colonial control by the federal government. I SUPPORT PROP 120 .)

Proposition 120/ HCR 2004
"...and they [Congress] may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the state governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual states, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter therefore will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way."
This "conspiracy theory" is not from talk radio. It was written, presumably by Robert Yates in October of 1787 as part of an effort to convince Americans that this newly written document could be abused.
The Constitution of the United States allows for certain properties for the federal government.
(1) To establish Post Offices and post roads (I, §8, Clause 7), (2) the Seat of Government (3) and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature (4) for the Erection of Forts, (5) Magazines, (6) Arsenals, (7) dock-Yards, and (8) other needful Buildings (i.e. Court buildings).
Article IV, § 3, Clause 2 and the Fifth Amendment referring to "public purposes" apply ONLY to those ends. The Fifth Amendment was never meant for States, counties or cities to steal private land from one for the private benefit of another. Congress has NO authority to establish a National Forest Service or National Park Service and all land inside Arizona belongs to the citizens of Arizona.
While I urge people to take back our land and vote YES on this proposition, I also urge that citizens recoil from the selling of the forests and lands around our Grand Canyon State Park and other parks to private interest.

Farm Bureau Supports a "Yes" Vote on Proposition 120
Arizona Farm Bureau supports Proposition 120. Farmers and ranchers understand both stewardship and productivity of the land and our natural resources. In the last ten years, we have had devastating forest fires, followed by damaging floods. The machinery of federal bureaucracy slows and in some cases stops recovery and re-use.
Our members, along with many others have become frustrated and inflamed over the federal mis-management of our public lands. Proposition 120 draws a line and throws an anchor out to exhibit we are at wits end. It begins with our forests and federal stewardship and runs to how the government functions as a landlord. Certainly, Proposition 120 requires further action by Congress, but so does any other measure necessary for course correction. We hope this message ignites and sustains a dialogue to lead to meaningful reform in federal policies and programs.

James W. Klinker, Chief Administrative Officer, Arizona Farm Bureau Federation, Gilbert
Freedom requires being sovereign. Our federal Constitution established two systems for separation of powers to preserve our liberty. Unfortunately only the separation of the three branches of government is reported. Equally important is the separation of powers between federal government and sovereign states. States gave limited authority for the federal government under our Constitution. All powers not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people .
Prop 120 is an Arizona constitutional amendment to re-establish this necessary constitutional separation/balance of power to protect our liberty and civil rights. It declares our public lands and natural resources, are under our sovereign control, as provided in the NW Ordinance of 1787 and SW Ordinance of 1790 for the admission of states, excluding Indian lands and lands under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
Over the last century, the separation between federal and state powers has been eviscerated. Without Senate accountability to our legislatures we are the recipients of unfunded federal mandates and restrictions which take our civil constitutionally guaranteed rights under the guise of giving us a faux benefit we can't pay for. This abuse is demonstrated by; the denial of century old water rights for Tombstone; denial for Arizona to manage Arizona forest lands resulting in devastating fires; denial of Arizonans to commercially and environmentally regulate our own natural resources; and denial to protect our citizens at the border . In 2009 we caught 29,000 illegals from terrorist designated countries ! What better stewards are there of our land and safety, than the citizens that live with their decisions? When the Feds screw up - they have no consequences - but we do!
The feds propose "anti-bully" rules for our schools but what we need is an anti-federal bully rule. We the people Vote for Prop 120!

Proposition 120: A measure to establish Arizona's Sovereignty over its natural resources
If passed, this proposition will provide Arizona with the same authority over its own natural resources enjoyed by other states. It will grant the state the ability to more effectively protect and harness the economic potential stored in the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within the state.
Proposition 120 will increase Arizona's ability to use federally held land: Currently, Arizona exercises control of only 29% of the land held in our state. This puts the state at a disadvantage compared to other states as we seek to fund public services that are essential to ensuring our economic solvency and infrastructure needs. The proposition contains a declaration of full sovereignty over lands and resources within Arizona as a new section to the Arizona Constitution, on the basis of maintaining "Equal Footing" with other states.
Proposition 120 will allow the state to improve the management of Arizona's natural resources: Since 2001, over two million acres of Arizona's forests have burned due to irresponsible federal management. (Recently, federal land management has threatened the future water supply and very existence of the historic town of Tombstone.) The proposition gives Arizona exclusive sovereignty over all state territories and resources, except for Indian reservations and lands ceded to the United States, such as military forts and installations.
As Arizona's population continues to grow, it is imperative that the state be allowed to manage its own land and benefit from the wealth of its resources. The continued vitality of our state will depend heavily on our ability to exercise our authority over the natural wealth currently being denied us.
Chester Crandell, State Representative, Arizona House of Representatives, Heber
Ranching Families Support Prop 120
The federal government has already failed Arizona...if the catastrophic forest fires have not been enough....Just watch what they have planned for the water in Arizona. The federal government claims jurisdiction over everything it desires in Arizona - the animals, the water, and the lands. Proposition 120 provides all of Arizona's citizens the opportunity to assert their opinion of whether or not we in Arizona or the federal government bureaucrats in Washington care more about our animals, water and lands. The fact is - we in Arizona care more.
Please vote YES on Proposition 120!

The Arizona Wilderness Coalition is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and restoration of Arizona's wildlands and free-flowing rivers.
Proposition 120 destroys Arizona's iconic public lands heritage. The Legislature not only wants to grab "exclusive authority" over all parks, forests and public lands - including Grand Canyon and Saguaro National Parks, Superstition Wilderness Area, and millions of acres that Arizonans cherish and enjoy - it has indicated that once it has them, it will sell them off to private interests. Our public lands are Arizona's heritage. They provide us with clean water, clean air, wildlife habitat and unsurpassed recreation opportunities. The Legislature wants to sell our freedom to hike, camp, hunt, fish, view wildlife and enjoy unsurpassed scenery to whomever they wish, for whatever reason.
Proposition 120 is a budget disaster. Until the state manages to auction off your lands - and in a century they've managed to sell less than 10% of lands it already owns -- Arizonans will pay to manage them. All Americans now pay that bill. Proposition 120 puts the entire bill on the tab of Arizona taxpayers. You are being asked to pay more for what you already have.
The recent State of the Rockies Project's non-partisan poll found that Arizonans across the political spectrum - from supporters of the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street and voters in-between - view parks and public lands "as essential to our state's economy (90%)."
Our public lands embody our freedom and are essential to the quality of life we enjoy. Please - let's come together in telling the legislature that our parks, forests, and public lands are not for sale. Vote NO on Proposition 120.

The Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection urges you to VOTE NO on Proposition 120 .
This proposition was referred to you, the voters, by the Arizona Legislature, and would amend the Arizona constitution to assert state sovereignty over federal public lands in Arizona. As if this attempted legislative land grab were not enough, the proposition would also establish that the state has exclusive authority and jurisdiction over air, water, minerals, wildlife, and other natural resources in the state.
The goal is to assert state control of public lands of national importance - forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges and more - lands that are a defining feature of Arizona, which fuel our economy, support our wildlife heritage, and sustain our quality of life. Federal laws providing for critical environmental protections would also be undermined - laws like the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act.
For years now, our state parks have struggled to stay afloat, relying on the generosity and stewardship of communities for support rather than the state. How can we expect our legislature to care for vast public lands such as the Grand Canyon and Saguaro National Park when they can hardly take care of their own?
Furthermore, this proposition is unconstitutional. When we became a state 100 years ago, we made a contractual obligation with the rest of the nation regarding these federal public lands. These lands belong to all Americans.
Here in Pima County, as throughout the rest of this great state, we are surrounded by a mosaic of lands: federal, state, tribal, local, and private. It is this diversity of lands that provides vitality for both people and wildlife.
We encourage you to VOTE NO on Proposition 120.
Carolyn Campbell, Executive Director, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, Tucson
Trevor Hare, Conservation Science Chair, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, Tucson
The Wilderness Society opposes Proposition 120.
This measure has been labeled a state sovereignty measure when it is actually an attempt to seize control of federal public lands and eliminate the application of many environmental preservation and health protection laws. As a bill previously passed by the State legislature, this bad idea was vetoed by Governor Brewer, who noted its "significant and unaccounted for fiscal impact" and the potential liability and compliance costs that would become Arizona's burden.
Approximately 25 million acres of federal public land--land that is currently available and particularly good for recreation, hunting, spiritual renewal, and species and habitat preservation-- would be put at risk. Lands that currently draw more than 5 million tourist visitors--and their dollars--to Arizona each year, and that provide direct payments from the federal government to Arizona counties ("payments in lieu of taxes") in excess of $31 million, would have ownership demanded transferred to the State.
Arizona's legislature has proven itself unable and unwilling to properly steward the land we already control - - having closed State Parks and underfunded land and environmental preservation agencies of the State government. On must ask how Arizona would handle the increased burden of an additional 25 million acres of land to manage and properly steward. Rather than emphasize Arizona's sovereignty, Proposition 120 would take public lands that provide for the enjoyment of all Americans and make them vulnerable to sale and exploitation for private gain.
The Wilderness Society recommends a " NO " vote on Proposition 120.

Save Grand Canyon from the Arizona Legislature
Vote NO on Proposition 120
The Grand Canyon Trust urges you to vote NO on Proposition 120, an unconstitutional measure that would give Arizona sovereignty over federal public lands in Arizona, including Grand Canyon National Park. Its intent is to gain state control over national parks, forests, monuments, and wildlife refuges in Arizona, get rid of the federal land managing agencies, and undermine protections provided by federal laws that guide public land management.
Asserting state sovereignty over federal lands makes no sense. Foremost, it could be a massive waste of Arizona taxpayer dollars given that the American people and the federal government are not simply going to allow lands they currently own be taken away by Arizona. In addition, the state already has difficulty funding its own state park system and managing state trust lands, let alone trying to pay for management and care of all of the federal lands within its borders. And finally, the ownership of lands within the state by the federal government was part of the legislation allowing Arizona to become a state. Reneging on that promise could cause a cascade of unknown legal issues, having the potential to affect virtually every local government in the state.
This proposition is fatally flawed. We ask you to please vote NO on Proposition 120!

Stop Legislative Land Grab
Protect Grand Canyon and other Public Lands
Vote "No" on Proposition 120
Proposition 120 is a proposed constitutional amendment referred to the ballot by the Arizona Legislature. It asserts state sovereignty over federal public lands in Arizona and establishes that the state has exclusive authority and jurisdiction over air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife, and other natural resources in the state. The intent is to gain control of national parks, forests, monuments, and wildlife refuges in Arizona and undermine protections provided by federal laws, such as the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act.
The state cannot properly fund and care for its own state park system. Several parks have had to close in recent years It has not adequately funded the State Land Department to manage state trust lands, so how could it even consider managing federal public lands? The fiscal impact to the state and the tax burden on state taxpayers would be enormous.
How could we trust the Arizona Legislature with Grand Canyon National Park?
Our national parks, forests, and monuments belong to all Americans. The Legislature's attempt to grab these public lands violates Arizona's Constitution, and the U.S. Constitution. It also violates the law that granted Arizona Statehood, the Arizona-New Mexico Enabling Act.
Finally, the Arizona Legislature through Proposition 120 is actually seeking to repeal the consent given by people of Arizona to the provisions under which Arizona became a state. This would bring into question Arizona's status as a state, and as part of the United States of America. That is extreme and irresponsible.
We urge all Arizonans to vote no on Proposition 120.

Don Steuter, Conservation Chair, Sierra Club - Grand Canyon Chapter, Phoenix
Proposition 120 -- Just say NO!
The Tucson Audubon Society, a non-profit group that represents around 5000 households, promotes the protection and stewardship of southern Arizona's biological diversity through the study and enjoyment of birds and the places they live.
Proposition 120, a Constitutional Amendment, seeks to give our State Legislature exclusive sovereignty over all air, land and water and control of federal public lands and waters, plus supersede federal laws protecting public health and safety, such as the Clean Air and Water Acts, and the management of public lands. We oppose Proposition 120 and encourage all Arizonans to VOTE NO !
The Clean Water Act recognizes that clean water is of national importance. Before passage of the Clean Water Act little had been achieved by relying on states to keep our water clean. Proposition 120 could expose our wetlands and river systems to polluters and developers. Do we really want to return to the days of the Love Canal, when our rivers were on fire?
The Clean Air Act, through regulating smokestack emissions, protects us and our wildlife from acid rain, and mercury in our fish and fish-eating birds.
Proposition 120 would endanger the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the wildlife and lands we all cherish.
All Americans have an interest in the national parks, forests, and monuments within Arizona. Our state legislature has demonstrated how it is unable to manage the resources currently under its jurisdiction for the public benefit in a fiscally responsible manner. How would it manage and care for all of federal lands within its borders?
Do you trust the future of our birds, wildlife, and natural areas to the Arizona Legislature? We do not and we urge you to please vote no on Proposition 120.

Prop. 120
Protect the Sonoran Desert National Monument and America's Other Public Lands in Arizona
Proposition 120 would amend the Arizona Constitution to declare Arizona's sovereign and exclusive authority and jurisdiction over the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within the Arizona's boundaries.
The objective of Proposition 120 is to attain exclusive control of federal public land, i.e. national parks, forests, monuments, and wildlife refuges in Arizona and undermine protections provided by federal laws, such as the Antiquities Act, Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act.
Arizona is not adequately funding and caring for its own state lands. Many state parks have closed and there are plans to privatize others. The land department is miserably under-funded, so how can our state possibly manage federal public lands?
Our national parks, forests, and monuments, including the Sonoran Desert National Monument, belong to all Americans. The Legislature's attempt to grab these public lands violates both the Arizona Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. Proposition 120 also violates the Arizona-New Mexico Enabling Act, the law that granted Arizona Statehood in 1912.
Stand up for our public land. Vote No on Proposition 120!

Vote "NO" on Prop 120!
Arizona is already struggling to manage its natural resources in the wake of budget cuts to agencies charged with oversight of our public lands, wildlife, air quality and water. To suggest that we disregard federal environmental laws is not only unconstitutional, it's unconscionable.
Our Legislature is asking us to amend the state constitution to give Arizona exclusive authority over its natural resources. Legislators seek to eliminate environmental protections provided by federal laws and thus negate the Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act, and Clean Water Act.
Valley Forward strongly opposes Prop. 120 and encourages your "NO" vote on this misguided measure. Our 43-year-old, non-profit business-based organization represents a diverse membership of public and private sector entities sharing a mission to improve Arizona's environment and sustainability.
Arizona is not in a position to ensure the environmental safety and protection of residents on its own, plain and simple. The legislature has gutted funding for the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Arizona Department of Water Resources, Arizona State Parks and countless other agencies. We can barely enforce our existing laws, manage our parks system and safeguard the health and well-being of our citizenry.
Prop. 120 is wrong on many levels, not the least of which is that it seems to directly violate the U.S. Constitution and is contrary to our state's Enabling Act. In Arizona's centennial year, this measure explicitly disregards the very act that allowed our state to enter the union.
Let's not set ourselves up for more inevitable lawsuits at taxpayers' expense. We can ill afford it. Our monies would be far better spent on education, transportation, and the protection of Arizona's natural assets.
Vote " NO " vote on Prop. 120.
Diane Brossart, President & CEO, Valley Forward Association, Phoenix
North Country Conservancy ( NCC ) is a non-profit land trust dedicated to preserving natural resources primarily in Arizona for the enjoyment of current and future generations.
NCC opposes Proposition 120 which would give "exclusive authority" over all parks, forests and public lands - including Grand Canyon National Park, Agua Fria National Monument, and millions of acres that Arizonans enjoy. Legislators have indicated that once Arizona has all these lands, it will sell them off to private interests. Our public lands are not only Arizona's; they belong to ALL citizens of the United States. These lands provide us with clean water, clean air, wildlife habitat, and unsurpassed recreation opportunities. Trying to assert control of them would be stealing from the American people and future generations.
The state cannot fund and care for its state park system or state trust lands. Where are the funds and staff to take control of and even consider managing federal public lands?
Additionally, the impact on individuals and corporations that have leases on these lands has not been considered and could be devastating.
This proposition appears to conflict with the US Constitution and the Arizona Enabling Act. The court costs to defend this measure will be enormous. How would Arizona pay for that?
Additionally, Arizona would lose the Payments in Lieu of Taxes that Arizona currently receives from the public lands managed federal government with no responsibility for management, protection, law enforcement, etc. In Fiscal Year 2011, Arizona received $31,546,890 in Payments in Lieu of Taxes payments.

The Arizona League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization working to mobilize voters, endorse and elect leaders, advocate on behalf of conservation measures, hold elected officials accountable and ensure a sustainable and high quality of life for all Arizonans.
Proposition 120 is bad for Arizona and bad for our nation . This proposition, referred to the voters by the Arizona State Legislature, would amend the Arizona constitution to assert state sovereignty over Arizona's air, water, wildlife and natural resources in our state. What the legislature will not tell you is that this initiative undermines landmark and bi-partisan environmental laws like the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. These critical protections have brought back dozens of species like the Florida Panther, the Bald Eagle and the California Condor from the brink of extinction and ensure that our water is free from pollutants and our air is healthy for all Americans to breathe. These standards simply must be implemented nationwide rather than piecemeal by the states as air, water and endangered species do not recognize state boundaries.
Proposition 120 is simply unworkable . Our state has struggled in recent years to balance our budget and our state land department simply does not have the resources to care for the existing lands that it manages much less managing the vast tracts of federal land in our state.
Proposition 120 is unconstitutional . This measure, if implemented, is bad for Arizona but primarily it is a waste of time for our state lawmakers to try to renegotiate a century old agreement regarding federal lands when they should be concentrating on solving Arizona's problems.
The Arizona League of Conservation Voters opposed this resolution in the Legislature and we continue to oppose it on the ballot. Vote NO on proposition 120!
Steve Arnquist, Chairman, AZ League of Conservation Voters Committee For the Environment, Tucson
Local Arizona communities have long battled the federal government regarding management of our public lands. The Arizona Legislature is now unwisely adding fuel to this long-smoldering fire with a scheme to seize control of Grand Canyon National Park and other public lands in Arizona. They call it Prop 120.
Governor Jan Brewer prudently vetoed the bill that accompanied Prop 120, but the legislature nevertheless is putting this measure before the voters. Prop 120 is not an Arizona crafted solution to Arizona challenges, but rather a measure created in Washington D.C. by the special interest group American Legislative Exchange Council ( ALEC ), which spoon fed it to the Arizona Legislature.
ALEC doesn't understand the needs of Arizona. In recent years, the Arizona Legislature shuttered many of our state parks. Now, ALEC wants that same legislature to control the Grand Canyon, Sonoran Desert National Monument, Saguaro National Park, and our other beloved national forests and public lands. Although we occasionally chafe at federal oversight of Arizona's public lands, the rangers, foresters, and other public land managers are better equipped to care for our natural and cultural treasures. Additionally, an already underfunded state does not have the resources to take on the responsibility of managing these lands.
The Sonoran Institute is inspired by the premise that conserving these iconic places provides enduring prosperity to Arizona and improves the quality of life of residents. We believe that Arizona communities should have a more active voice in decisions affecting public lands. Prop 120 would undermine the voice Arizona communities have in the management of these lands and leave our most treasured places vulnerable to distant special interest groups.
Please join us in saying no to Prop 120!
Luther Propst, Executive Director, Sonoran Institute, Tucson
Dave Richins, Policy Director, Sonoran Institute, Mesa
Say NO to this Legislature's Public Land Grab - Vote NO On Proposition 120!
Prop 120 is before you today because our state Legislature has gone too far. They are asking you, the voters of this great state, to tell the rest of the nation that federal public lands in Arizona are solely Arizonans'. They want you to say, "Sorry my fellow Americans, lands that you have enjoyed since before Arizona was even a state are now ours, and ours alone." How preposterous is this?
As if this request were not ridiculous enough, the state Legislature also wants to declare its sovereign and exclusive authority and jurisdiction over the air, water, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources of this state. If actually implemented, this would put federal environmental protections - laws like the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Clean Water Act - in serious jeopardy!
This proposition is clearly unconstitutional. When Arizona became a state 100 years ago, we made a contractual obligation with the rest of the nation regarding these lands and resources. How far does our Legislature want to go to undo the conditions we accepted when we became a state?
These public lands of national importance - forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges and more - fuel our economy, support our wildlife heritage, and sustain our quality of life.
It's ludicrous to think that our state could properly manage these vast public lands. For years now, the state has been slashing funding for state parks; would they close the Grand Canyon when times got tough?
We urge you to VOTE NO on Proposition 120 - Stop this Legislature's Land Grab!
Carolyn Campbell, Chair, No on Prop 120 - Stop Legislature's Land Grab, Tucson
A "yes" vote shall have the effect of repealing Arizona's disclaimer of all right and title to federal public lands within the state and declaring Arizona's sovereignty over public lands and all natural resources within its boundaries. This excludes Indian reservations, lands of the United States, and lands over which jurisdiction has been ceded by the state of Arizona.
A "no" vote shall have the effect of keeping current constitutional law related to public lands and natural resources within Arizona's boundaries.

Warbear wrote:The whole reason that thread exists is because you lot wouldn't believe that it wasn't just a circlejerk for Spammers.
Calek wrote:Considering that the Gold Card Club thing started off as a joke, it's reasonable that it was filled with just Spam members. It wasn't until later that it was realized "oh this might actually be of importance, lets add non-spam members".
NeoWarrior7 wrote:Why can't we all just be involved and do whatever? A caste system? Really?
NeoWarrior7 wrote:Well, perhaps the issue is I frankly doubt the necessity of the project to begin with. I sure didn't sign up for the massive sweeping changes that appear to be proposed.
Changing a few spots and adding a few features is one thing, revamping the layout and appearance sounds like more than we need. Unless I'm misinterpreting what, exactly, you're even trying to accomplish, so maybe a mission plan would be nice so we even know what this "Gold Card Club" is even supposed to do beyond the incredibly vague and open to interpretation term of "improving the forum".
Morpheus wrote:The gold card club in the end will be a group of guides and helpers to those new to the forums.
At this moment it's being used as way to gain ideas to bring the forum up to date.
This will help with keeping those that may have once lost interest quickly.
Q.U. wrote:So if Dave comes by like a hurricane and tears the whole forum through its own arsehole out into something different without ever asking anybody for opinions or giving a warning, and then his bum keeps mooning over the forums so all you can do is raise your fist to the sky and curse the name of god it's all fine to you? But when BR goes out of his way to offer choices, discuss it with the userbase, ask opinions and ideas to implement, you say it's shit? You have a chance to be a part of this and get some of your ideas in, that's plenty for a regular user to be able to do really.
BobSagat wrote:The gold color that clashes against the entire aesthetic of the website is part of that problem, it's really no better than just having a neon pink title. It's only purpose is to scream for everyone's attention. And for what purpose exactly do you need such an obnoxious color? To inform everyone that you're part of the exclusive club and everyone else isn't
BeeAre wrote:And we'll change the fucking gold color that everyone hates that I picked at random.
NeoWarrior7 wrote:My alternative is just to have an open forum to discuss ways to "improve" the forum. And votes or something, I guess. My suggestion is that a caste system other than the mod/admin distinctions is a terrible idea and detrimental to the forum.
Mir@k wrote:You know why we don't have an "open" forum for people to discuss stuff in? Here's a brilliant example why. Because we need to have a bar, and we need to set it at a moderate height for us to actually go somewhere.
BeeAre wrote:I don't want people to come into this forum and abuse an "anybody with an idea post here" thread because those threads get overlooked. They have in the past, and the only reason this one isn't is because of decisions I've made to make it hard to avoid. So people who want to do things with the community should be able to have some way to voice concerns that matter to them, having demonstrated being a part of the community, in a place where they won't get bogged down by LOLOLOLOL.
Q.U. wrote:And have it filled with hyperactive tweens who make up most of the comic fanbase posting the same shitty ideas over and over again (make a Bell sprite walk all over the bottom of the forum all the time!!!), for which we would eventually have to start punishing them, over and over again. Yes, thank you. Your idea is noted. It's not good enough. Please do try again.
Dorian wrote:What Bob said pretty much hit the nail on the head. The colored name has no purpose. If you're that interested in helping the forum you should do so without the incentive of having a different colored name.
Mir@k wrote:You'd be surprised how nobody ever thought of helping the forum until we started giving gold colored names to people. c:
BobSagat wrote:But yeah, as much as you claim "visual incentive", that's pretty much bullshit. Are the mods working on this forum because they wanted a pretty color for their name? Are you trying to help this forum because you like your name in gold?
BeeAre wrote:It's not incentive. It is indicative of that user having done something right, yes, but ultimately, none of this matters, which is why Gold Card people would be held to very strict standards to remain gold, so as to prevent the elitism of which you are so very fucking afraid.
Q.U. wrote:Colours are there, as somebody pointed out, for people to be able to distinguish who they are talking to. Haven't there already been rules in place about "showing respect for the veterans" for a long time? It's hard to expect the newbies to be respectful of users that don't look respected. It's also supposed to be something new members see and wonder "how do you get that?". Giving people who have it incentive to be on their best behaviour in order to keep it, and those who don't have it incentive to better themselves to get it. This will not necessarily be the gold club though, but a different group.
Dorian wrote:
Here's the suggestion to improve things then: Get rid of the Gold club.
That would be an improvement.
It is unnecessary. We have so many active mods now that they should be able to handle the job of improving the forum or whatever.
BeeAre wrote:When did you stop being a mod? I ask because I want you to know just how wrong you are. The Floodgates raised? Sure, easy. No problem. No forum growth, but no problem. Want me to turn them off for a day to see how many bots we ban in the next 24 hours?
Sentios wrote:Yes actually, we need to test the waters and we can't actually hope of getting new members with the board locked down. If you're really worried about it give some people the ability to move threads to a trash bin hidden forum... actually do that last part anyways and move all bot threads there so we can get an accurate count.
If we can't get some sort of anti-bot registration feature implemented in the near future we'll have to take steps to counter bot posts themselves, as is we're just going to kill ourselves. A trickle of one or two new members every now and then is still better than no new members ever.
Sentios wrote:Just remember not to fall into the trap of change for the sake of change. A lot of the reason no one has asked for major changes (contrary to Mirak's 'they don't have an incentive to' and ignoring Dave never being here) is because they're content with much of the forum (like the current design for instance), the majority wouldn't still be here if they weren't. The only major concern that I think people share is the activity of the forum as whole, it's more important that anything related to tiers of users or the style sheets.
Q.U. wrote:Also, to people advocating against much change, especially those who don't want changes in the forum style and looks. Is this, the current version of the forum style, your favourite? How long has it been your favourite? Probably soon after or shortly after it was implemented. What style was your favourite before that change? The previous one? If so, since when has that one been your favourite? Think back and be honest. Whenever there was a style you liked and felt like this was the best one yet, how would you respond to an announcement that the forum style was going to change?
BeeAre wrote:Now this irritates me just a little bit. This forum's stagnation comes from the users' being content? That's funny, because the active and current moderation and administration staff are not content at all with the forums' current state of being.
This is not a change for the sake of change, Sentios, and your blindness to our fucking jobs prods me towards irritability. We, the mods? We're users of the forums as well, and we can see what you can't, and you want to fucking lecture us about how dangerous a forum's change can go? With the attitude of "Let's Just Let It Die", you think that makes us, AND SPECIFICALLY ME, not want to introduce something, anything that might help stabilize the forums that apparently everyone is fucking content with stagnation and death?
Sentios wrote:You misread my post clearly. The reason no one says 'this forum sucks we should change it' is because most people are content with it. That has nothing to do with the board being stagnant, which is caused by not having a way to draw in users.
BeeAre wrote:Whoa whoa whoa, what? I am not sure I'm doing the misreading here. You're saying most people are content. I'm saying that a specific group of people, the people given authority, are not. The board is stagnant under our supervision, which means it is our prerogative if not our responsibility to come up with a way to keep the forum stable, which is hard when it is stagnating because of a decision we made and at the time considered necessary. It's still in effect, too, so we still think it's necessary.
Sentios wrote:So what you're saying is you don't care if other people like the forum as it is (except for the lack of users) you and your cohorts, specifically, don't so things are going to change. I'm glad we're being honest now.
Marquis de Soth wrote:Tell you what, Sentios. I want you to compile a list of statements showing explicit contentedness from at least 51% of the members of the forum and then PM it us. Also provide the method that you are using to gather this information as well as any questions that you use (so that we can be sure that you aren't biasing opinions by asking loaded questions).
I, and I am sure the rest of the team, would like to see explicit proof of this "most people". Thank you.

Some of you seem to be getting legitimately angry and I honestly didn't really expect that. Anyway it's just getting old getting told to 'stop complaining' when the things I said weren't even complaints. Just opinions.
Like, I have much better things to do with my time then keep trying to argue the same points over and over and honestly I hope you do too. I'm past the age where I can justify getting as emotionally involved as everyone else in this place. I like this forum and it's been fun but the past is past and if you guys think can revitalize it and turn it into something new, more power to you.
So my opinions on the whole thing are pretty much the same, but I'm done fighting it. Honestly, I wish you guys luck and hope you prove me wrong.
So I'd appreciate if you leave my name out of pile of 'whiners' or whatever if you keep going because that's not really a thing that ever happened nor will it. I made a few points, you responded. I officially respect your responses, even if I do not agree with them. I will offer you all the respect of not arguing the same things over and over. Please stop acting like I am actively still fighting you.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I have been treated for recurrent/refractory Hodgkins disease, first with ABVD, then with ICE, mantle field and total lymph node irradiation, followed by cytoxan and more etoposide and an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
I have been told that I am no longer eligible to donate blood. I presume this is because lymphoma is a disease of the blood cells or is it merely because it would be harmful to me due to a reduced ability for me to regenerate the blood?
Also, even if I were ineligible to donate blood, would I be able to donate organs? Which, if any, organs would be okay and which would not?
Thank you,
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear CM,
Thank you for your question and willingness of sharing the gift of your life to help other needy people. Your generosity is encouraging to other people in support of organ and tissue donation as one of the highest expressions of compassion and generosity.
The organ and tissue donor eligibility criteria for cancer patients are:
You can contact US Health Resources and Services Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services for details by visiting their web site, www.organdonor.gov.
Dec 7, 2010 - Rituximab may be a better option than watchful waiting in some lymphoma patients, and a new treatment option appears effective for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma, according to two studies being presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, held from Dec. 4 to 7 in Orlando, Fla. Other research being presented will highlight new options for the standard treatment of advanced asymptomatic follicular lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma; and early, unfavorable Hodgkin's disease.

text: 5 Excellent RPG!Paul3065 | 22/09/2010 | See all Paul3065's reviews (11)This is a real gem for the sadly over looked PSP system. Its a turn based battle rpg set in a military academy. Unlike most rpg's, the battles in this game are first person and involve moving your troops around the battle field and attacking the enemy. It oozes polish and looks superb. A handy install option speeds the load times up no end! Other developers take note.A joy for strategy gamers or anyone looking for a great PSP title with depth and enjoyability!

One word can define the reality of success. This is said to be very vital in every effort. One of the most important steps for most individual, regardless of the properties. As long as you have a good knowledge on it, then you can give out the true definition of success through laying the word-strategy into realism. Cruse and Associates defines strategy as it should be taken in order to acquire one or more organization goals. Moreover, it is also a general direction set for the company and its various components to achieve a desired state in the future which could result from the detailed strategic planning approach.
This kind of approach is very popular with businesses which covers a variety of labor. Strategy, in short, bridges the gap between "where we are" and "where we want to be".
- First things first, prioritize.
When it comes to your business, you prioritize by focusing on: revenue, engagement and growth. Select whichever one you need to prioritize within a certain time frame and set milestones. Ask yourself: Which goals need to be accomplished now? Why is each one important? Will it affect something else, and to what degree? How committed am I to this priority? Clearly identify your role within each of these priorities. Are you leading a certain meeting, a participant, or just coordinating the details of a family commitment? Each priority usually means different time commitments and energy levels, and this is a great way to test your limits.
- Use your tools effectively
The plethora of digital tools available today aren't just there for fun, they're meant to make your life and business more manageable. You could find free tools online for accounting, CRM, social media, managing meetings, storing information in the cloud or even set up automated customer service (and a bonus – an online personal assistant). I always suggest using your calendar as your most important tool. Most importantly, be consistent and share this information with your team.
- Hire a strong team
If you don't already have a team, look to find at least 1-2 talented people that can join your team. It's impossible to micromanage every aspect of your business (especially if you're managing more than one), and investing in talented people will give you a strong return in the long run.
- Pulse Check
Set up a quick daily or weekly 'pulse check' with your team and use this time to check up on the milestones you set earlier. Talk about small challenges, innovations to internal processes or even your product/service at a high level for 10 minutes. Have a monthly meeting to review your business in more detail. This is also a great way to ensure that your legal, accounting and financial statuses are all in check. Know the legality associated with running multiple business lines, revenue streams or opportunities that you plan on pursuing. Ensure projects are not in conflict. Finally, check your cash flow, can you pay for everything now? Will you have enough money to manage your business in 30-60-90 days? You'll see where you need to prioritize your time and funds with these pulse checks.
- Balance
Balance is the toughest business challenge you'll face as an entrepreneur. However, its not a difficult one to tackle. In addition to using the above strategies, make sure you get enough sleep and set aside time for yourself. Robin Sharma, a leading business guru, talks about sleeping early, waking up at 5 am and following this system:Drink a glass of water .Exercise for 30 minutes .State your affirmations for the day. Spend the rest of the time focused on your work (i.e. check your emails, write your report, review your finances).
Set aside some time to brainstorm.While you may not choose this exact routine, you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish by waking up early and following a routine. There's no 'noise' in the morning hours and it's proven you'll get more work done between 5-9 am than you will the entire day. Every business leader has to find their own groove on managing the different areas of their business(es), especially if you plan on participating in more than one business venture. By following simple strategies, you can stay focused and stay on the right path to succeed.

text: I understand that Israel has made mistakes in the past and hasn't always been right in what they've done. However, if you're going to criticize Israel for some of the things they've done, I don't see why you wouldn't also criticize Hamas for launching rockets into civilian areas of Israel. I haven't heard anyone condemn Hamas for killing innocent children in Israel. Again, I have to wonder what hatred for Israel has to do with supporting a non interventionist foreign policy.

How to Buy a Billiard Table
A billiard table is a big investment. In order to make an informed decision, you will need to answer several important questions. Who will be using the table, and will it be used for recreation or serious play? What price range fits your budget? What is the size of the room where the table will be located? Our guide will help you answer these questions and understand the features you will need to know.
Performance Ranges
Least Expensive (up to $1000)
Economy Level ($1000 - $1500)
Mid Range Level ($1500 - $2800)
Custom Level ($2800 upward)
Regulation-size pool tables have a playing surface that is twice as long as it is wide. Tables come in several different sizes, the most common of which are 7' (bar size), 8' (home size), Oversized 8' (commercial size), and 9' (tournament size). The larger tables provide for a more challenging game because the pockets are farther apart. No matter which length you choose, be aware that minimum space requirements will change depending on the size of the cue you select. Use the table below to find the appropriate size.
Example: If you have a 7' pool table and are playing with a 57" cue, your room should be at least 13' x 16'.
Playing Surface
Inexpensive recreational billiard tables use non-slate playing surfaces, including:
Non-slate surfaces tend to warp over time and have less durability.
A slate playing surface has been recognized and approved by the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) as the only playing surface suitable for tournament play.
Cloth is generally a wool/nylon blend for the more expensive tables, or a synthetic nylon (Taclon® or Tadlon®) for recreational tables. Both types provide a smooth and durable playing surface.
The rail is the top part of the table to which the cushions and pockets are attached. The rails are fastened to the playing surface and/or frame.
The cushion is attached to the top rail and is the point of contact for the balls.
The sights are the markers on top of the rails, used for reference points when aiming.
Cabinet/Apron and Leg Materials
The cabinet or apron is the wood between the rail and the legs which covers the playing surface, cloth, and frame to provide a finished look.
Most billiard tables have drop pockets, which simply means that some type of net or container is under each pocket to catch the balls that fall into that pocket. Drop pockets can be simple or elaborate, constructed from plastic, vinyl, or leather.
Some tables, particularly commercial tables, have an automatic ball return. A system of chutes connects to the table's six pockets. Each chute is angled slightly downward from the pocket to the ball return. When a ball falls into that pocket, gravity causes it to roll along the guide until it reaches the ball return.

Fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald's beloved novel The Great Gatsby can easily remember the intense friendship between narrator and protagonist Nick Carraway and the beguiling Jay Gatsby. It is a delicate relationship not easily forgotten by any fan of the book, and it's one that Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio (who play Nick and Gatsby, respectively, in the film) paid great attention to during the filmmaking process, thanks in large part to their "20 year" friendship outside of Gatsby's realm.
At the press conference for the film, held at the historical landmark (and the site of one of the most pivotal scenes in Fitzgerald's text) The Plaza Hotel in New York, Maguire spoke about his connection with his longtime friend. "I think Leo and I have a very trusting and close friendship, so I think just the level of comfort we had in terms of the work process ... I definitely have affection for Leo so it's easy for me to have affection for Gatsby as Nick as well," he said.
But DiCaprio took it a step further, saying that in order to undertake a classic as beloved as Gatsby, he needed someone like Maguire to make him feel at ease as the mysterious title character. "To venture into a project of this magnitude, it really took a core of trust for me to feel comfortable, so to know that somebody I've known for 20 years, and Baz Luhrmann [was] involved, and Tobey was immediately involved in that process from the onset, was incredibly comforting," he said.
But it wasn't just some sort of buddy system that made DiCaprio feel alright. Their friendship also informed their characters' friendship onscreen: "We're always extremely honest with each other. And for me, I don't know if this project would have happened if we didn't have that sort of relationship. We needed it, and we needed those checks and balances and contact with each other in order to be honest with one another," he added.
Of course, DiCaprio was being a little vague about just what he meant by having this system of "checks and balances" with Maguire, but Luhrmann stepped in to give a practical example, citing the scene they shot first: Gatsby's meeting with Daisy (Carey Mulligan) at Nick's cottage. Luhrmann asked the actors to take a break from their written lines and improvise a bit of dialogue, which ultimately made it into the final cut because it worked so well and the actors played so honestly off of each other.
"And that moment, I think it's one of the clearest, most connected moments of the film, and that completely came from the depth of their relationship ... it was one of the first things we shot and it's one of the most connected and truthful moments in the film," said Luhrmann.
It's enough to put any skeptical fan of the novel at ease as we go into the film's May 10 release. While the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby is the one that reeks of romance and longing, it's the core relationship between Jay and Nick that drives the narrative, and in turn Luhrmann's film. As such, it's comforting to know that at the center of the film are two actors whose friendship drives and protects that precious story line.
