Pam Warhurst:
How we can eat our landscapes
What should a community do with its unused land? Plant food, of course. With energy and humor, Pam Warhurst tells at the TEDSalon the story of how she and a growing team of volunteers came together to turn plots of unused land into communal vegetable gardens, and to change the narrative of food in their community.

PrintDesign is an open-source illustration program that can substitute professional proprietary software like Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator*. GNU/Linux is our main development platform, but porting on Win32 and MacOS X desktops has been scheduled because Gtk+ widgetset is used. PrintDesign supports professional publishing features, such as multiple page document, CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and press-ready PDF output.
UniConvertor is a universal vector graphics translator. It is a command line tool/library which uses PDXF document object model to convert one file format to another. The project is a multiplatform software and can be compiled under GNU/Linux (and other UNIX-like systems), MacOS X and Win32/64 operation systems.
Lincutter is a vector graphics tool for vinyl cutting plotters. The application is similar to Roland CutStudio, Postcut etc.
SWord is a visual analysis tool for file format importer development. Application uses Gtk+ widgetset and designed to investigate textual, tagged and binary file formats.
sK1 is an open-source illustration program. The project is freezed due to outdate widgetset. PrintDesign is successor of this application.

Jeremy Currier
Assistant AD for Strength & Conditioning
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: 704-463-3218
Jeremy Currier enters his fifth season as head men's basketball coach at Pfeiffer University and ninth season as a collegiate coach in 2014-15.
In his first season as Pfeiffer head coach, Currier and his top scoring offense in the Conference Carolinas led Pfeiffer to a fifth place finish. The 2010 Falcon team was among the league leaders in three point field goals made, offensive rebounds per game, rebounding margin, team scoring, and free throw percentage. Chris Woods was named Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, and NABC All American while amassing the 2,000 point career point total.
Currier had previously served as assistant basketball coach at Pfeiffer University for the previous two seasons.
In his two seasons as assistant under Dave Davis, Pfeiffer finished as the highest scoring team in Division II at 103.1 points per game and was ranked third nationally in three-pointers per game (10.6) and steals per game (11.2), while ranking fifth in the country in three-point field goal percentage (42.3%). During that time, Currier helped to develop five All Conference selections, and four future professional players. Considered a highly successful and talented recruiter, Currier was rated the sixth best Division II assistant coach for recruiting success in 2009 by College Bound Hoops and the JUCO Recruiting Report.
Prior to Pfeiffer University, Currier served as head coach at NCAA Division III Daniel Webster College in Nashua, N.H. Currier inherited a program that suffered a winless campaign prior to his arrival and within two years, the program made two straight conference tournament appearances. Hired as the youngest men's head basketball coach in the NCAA in 2007-08, Currier's recruiting efforts helped net the New Hampshire State Player of the Year and the program went on to post its highest season wins total in 10 seasons.
Currier's recruiting class included two all conference selections including the program's first ever conference "Rookie of the Year." Those recruits went on the following season to post the best season in program history and first winning campaign in 11 years. Moreover, Currier was the first coach in the College's history to play Division I opponents, with matchups against the Citadel, Dartmouth College, and Harvard University.
Currier enjoyed a four-year playing career at Endicott College in Beverly, Mass. where he helped guide the program to its most successful four-year period (75-35) in program history that included four straight conference final fours, culminating with a conference championship and NCAA tournament appearance in 2004 during his senior season. A deadly shooting guard, and a Street & Smith National Player to Watch selection, Currier was the Commonwealth Coast Conference "Player of the Year" in 2003, finishing as the NCAA statistical leader (all divisions) in three-point field goal percentage (52%) in 2003 and was also a two-time All Conference and All New England selection (2002, 2003), finishing with over 1,100 career points. In 2011, Currier was inducted into the Endicott College Hall of Fame.
Originally from Hampstead, N.H., Currier was a standout at Pinkerton Academy (Derry, N.H.) where he earned a number of accolades including the Nashua Telegraph "Player of the Year," First Team All State, USA Today All American Honorable Mention, was a McDonald's All American nominee and finished as the state scoring champion his senior season.
Currier currently resides in Harrisburg, North Carolina with his wife, Natalie.

Please be advised that the following information refers to a production from the Met's 2013-14
season. Explore our 2015-16 Metropolitan Opera Season to view the current repertory.
Borodin's defining Russian epic, famous for its Polovtsian Dances, comes to the Met for the first time in nearly 100 years. Dmitri Tcherniakov's new production is a brilliant psychological journey through the mind of its conflicted hero, with the founding of the Russian nation as the backdrop. Star bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov takes on the monumental title role, with Gianandrea Noseda conducting.
Dmitri Tcherniakov's "wonderful staging is dreamlike, wrenchingly human and viscerally theatrical. The impressive cast, with many Russian singers, is headed by the compelling bass Ildar Abdrazakov in the title role... His Igor has moments of Italianate lyrical refinement. He brings passion, even a touch of neediness, to his exchanges with his devoted wife, Yaroslavna, the Ukrainian soprano Oksana Dyka in her Met debut. She is a classic Russian soprano with a cool, penetrating intensity, fearless high notes, and a glint of steel in her sound." (New York Times)
"The charismatic Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili brings her plush, big voice and a sultry physicality to the role of Konchakovna."
(New York Times)
Gianandrea Noseda "led a vibrant and textured performance... [conveying] the Russian character of the music, while conducting it with clarity and precision. The Met chorus is at its glorious best." (New York Times)
"Prince Igor's triumphant return: the Met makes a masterpiece of an unlikely opera. [A performance that] would be the jewel of any opera company in any golden age." (New York Observer)
"The Met has returned a long-absent marvel to its rightful place in the repertoire." (New York Magazine)
"The hugely talented Tcherniakov [is] a director who also designs his own sets. These were terrific: neither abstract nor period medieval, they took us into more universal realms of fear, longing and despair." (Bloomberg)
"Ildar Abdrazakov masterfully probed Igor's guilt and regret." (Wall Street Journal)
Read more about the Met's recent concert at Le Poisson Rouge featuring stars from Prince Igor.
Prince Igor is a co-production of the Metropolitan Opera and De Nederlandse Opera, Amsterdam.
The production was made possible by a generous gift of The Annenberg Foundation, The Gilbert S. Kahn & John J. Noffo Kahn Foundation, and Elena Prokupets, in memory of Rudy Prokupets
Additional funding was received from Andrew J. Martin-Weber, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Gary and Svitlana Flom, and Veronica Atkins.
All performances for this production have passed, and tickets are no longer available.

R.C. Hoiles, short of stature and full of energy, was described as everything from a philosopher to a zealot. But, he was our "zealot," and in truth, he came to his philosophy of individual liberty over the course of many years and after reading and thinking deeply, conversing with contemporary thought leaders around country, and examining his own life. He was fearless and consistent in defending his principles and always open to a robust discussion.
He lived what he believed and his attitude toward life showed itself in ways big and small. He was bold in standing up against school segregation in the late 1940s in Orange County and against internment of Japanese Americans during WWII in California, and humble in choosing a name for his company – Freedom – as opposed to naming it after himself.
The quotes below were gathered from a number of sources* and, we believe, show something of the man, his viewpoint, and his fire for freedom for each of us. – Cathy Taylor
"I do not believe," said Hoiles in a scathing indictment of the tyranny of the majority, "that multiplying a wrong by any number makes it right."
"I believe," Hoiles said, "this is what (Thomas) Jefferson meant when he said: 'I know of but one code of morality, whether it be for men or for a nation; I believe in doing unto others as I would like to have them do unto me.'"
"There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. True nobility consists in being superior to your previous self." (He called this "The Key to Continuous Happiness" because he believed that the man who is constantly trying to improve himself is the happiest person and his happiness grows with age.)
"The Yardsticks of Morality we have mentioned indicate several facts, uncontested by any Christian or Jew, of our acquaintance. They include: 1.That every man is born with certain inalienable rights. 2. That these rights are equally the birthright of all men, that they are the endowment of the Creator and not of any government."
"What we need above everything else, if we would change the course of socialism and collectivism, is more people devoting more time to seeing that the youth of the land is instilled with belief in the great moral laws and the Commandments and the Golden Rule and the Declaration of Independence."
"A good job for a person is one that permits him to get all he produces, no more, no less, as determined by a free market for his production and to advance and use all the talents that God gave him physically, mentally and morally as rapidly as possible."
"How can people correct their errors if they are not pointed out? And if a newspaper is afraid to let people point out their errors or will not point them out itself, it simply is worshipping the Golden Calf and is not worthy of the respect of American citizens."
"If there is anything a man of integrity should want to learn, it is whether what he is doing is in harmony and consistent with what he says he believes."
On newspapers:
"What this country needs as much as anything else are newspapers that believe in moral principles and have enough courage to express these principles and point out practices and beliefs that violate moral principles. A newspaper that only tries to run editorials and columnists and news items that are popular is of mighty little value to its readers."
"A newspaper that is afraid of losing subscribers because of principles is of little value to itself or anyone else. It might make dollars but its publisher loses his own self-respect – his own soul."

Aerin L. shared the following story with us about her dog Scout's rough start as an abandoned puppy, his subsequent recovery and his happy adoption:
Scout, a black Pit Bull-Chow mix, was found with his three brothers—all around four-months-old—emaciated, close to death, coated in fleas and ticks, and suffering from severe cases of Demodex mange. The shelter that was called in to rescue the puppies said it was the worst case of mange they had ever seen. Scout in particular had not a strand of hair on his body, was covered in fleas and ticks, and his eyes were swollen shut.
A woman who operated a rescue in the Chicago area fostered Scout, then known as LoveBug. When we went to the rescue to look at another dog, we met Scout. He was described as a sweet, fast learning, calm dog.
We adopted him and learned that his personality was far from what we anticipated. Untrained except for the command sit, we enlisted the help of a dog trainer who taught him "down," "heel," "go potty," "wait," "stay," and more. She socialized him and helped him work through his fear of cars.
My plan is to work with Scout so he can achieve the "Canine Good Citizenship Award" before enrolling him as a therapy dog at children's hospitals. I think children—especially those with cancer—will be able to connect with him. I hope they see his remarkable, and almost impossible, recovery as something they can look forward to. He's alive, well and happy.
Scout can help me educate the public about how loving Pit Bulls are and disprove the myths associated with the breed.
This story is heart warming, but what happened to the other three puppies?
Thank god for wonderful people like you that can tell these heart warming stories about saving such a valuable life.
That is so true about pit bulls. They are given a bad wrap. My daughter has two of them and they are the most loving dogs. In fact, they are being trained to be service dogs at a hospital in Boston. The hospital has met the dogs and absolutely loves them. Of course, they have seen the dogs separately, to see what they can do. They are doing great, and are well taken care of and trained and socialized with other dogs.
Thank you to the woman who fostered Scout. I absolutely love the idea you're working with him to become a therapy dog. My husband and I have 3 rescued dogs, one of which is a pit. While we're still in the process of working with and "re-socializing" her, she is already blossoming into a snuggle bunny. So many of these dogs are warm and loving, and it is the HUMAN that breeds and/or trains them to become fighting dogs. Sickening.
Dogs are what you are inside. If you are a caring, loving person so the animal will be. If you're mean and decitefiel so the animal will be. Love them and they will love back and even the smallest dog can be a danger to another person or dog or what ever. Never say never when it comes to an animal.
Thank you so much for adopting sweet & adorable Scout! It breaks my heart to see what he & the puppies went through! People who abuse animals should suffer severely for what they did, & they will not make it to heaven. I want to train hearing service dogs, & it will be so rewarding, just like what you & Scout do. model railroad figures
Tremendous that you took a chance with abused Scout. It takes love, care and patience and you gave him all that and gave him a new, beautiful life. I hope Scout becomes a therapy dog so the circle of light grows wider, more good and more good. Thank you for your compassionate work with Scout. You and your wonderful dog are blessed.
I have a pit bull, took him in when a some one had to go where he was band. As with most people I only knew what I had heard about the breed, but having him for over four years now, I could not imagine life without him. He was not well cared for before my friend took him in, suffered heat stroke and is mentally damaged, but his love and desire to please makes all that insignificant. He may never get past his mental block of "two" but to me he is a "10" and my Doberman's think he is one of them. He has opened my eyes and heart to pit bulls but I promised him that for now he will be Mommy's only baby pit.
I have a Pit Bull and she is so sweet she will never hurt a fly, well actually that's a lie she catches and eat them, but other then that she will never hurt anyone. The only time she will attach is when someone is trying to hurt kids or her family. I have made my own website about animal abuse and other stuff, if anyone would like to visit my website it is open to anyone @ animallovers2013.simplesite.com and you can even write your own comments and post pictures of your animals and there is one huge section about animal cruelity on the website, SO PLEASE VISIT!!!
Hi, I'm in 6th grade and doing a school assingment, and i was just wondering what kinds of animals do you guys take in and can anybody adopt any animal? Is it free? i have more questons so if you have the time, please respond as soon as possible, thanks. :)

- Got A Question?
Over the last few years, the carwash industry has notably embraced the environmentally-friendly business trend. The detail industry, however, has been much slower to acknowledge the operational and marketing benefits of "going green."
This difference in pace may be due to public perception; many consumers think of carwashes as water waters, but might not feel so strongly about detail businesses. Detailers also face a much smaller level of investment, which means operators are less likely to consider the financial benefits of green technology because the return on investment is to a lesser degree.
No matter what the reason, detailers are jumping on the green bandwagon and recognizing the advantages of operating an eco-friendly business. Whether it be by using eco-friendly products, properly storing and disposing chemicals or by recycling water and materials used, the green movement certainly cannot be ignored by the detailing industry.
Trend or lasting movement?
Steve Sause, the director of technical services for vehicle care at Simoniz USA, Inc., thinks many detailers falsely believe the buzz surrounding eco-friendly business practices is merely a trend or fad. "I'm of the mindset that it is here to stay," Sause explained. "When the drought issue was front and center from the southeast to the west coast, there was no way to escape criticism of water waste if you were involved in carwashing, detailing or other service business that required the use of water."
In addition to being a powerful movement throughout the U.S., going green has many benefits to the business owner. It helps more "green" find its way to your bank and pockets and is an excellent marketing tool. Additionally, operators who have the foresight to go green today may save themselves some trouble in the future. Many experts are predicting these standards will eventually be forced upon businesses due to evolving legislation and government mandates.
Legislation down the pipeline
According to Jim Fitzpatrick, of the franchisee ProntoWash, a chain of waterless carwash/detail services, the greening of the detail industry started in 2007 when California legislators passed an agreement to restrict volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are often found in products such as tire cleaners, windshield water repellents and odor removers, which will have to comply with regulations which could take effect in 2010.
Makers of chemical products are likely considering the effects of the California law, as it is entirely possible the regulations could spread to other states. Already, California detailers are inspecting their chemicals to see if they meet the expectations of the legislation.
The VOC agreement isn't the only way in which California is leading the industry down the green path. The state's Water Control Board is also reviewing the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit that prohibits discharge into storm drains.
Fitzpatrick said that once the permit is issued, the cities and municipalities will have one year to introduce best management practices to achieve standards set in the NPDES permit. Standards will be set to best available technology, which Fitzpatrick believes could include waterless carwash and detail products.
The biggest anti-green sins
While it might be difficult for some detailers to go entirely or even partially green, they should at least step back for a minute and see if there are just a few small steps they could take without disturbing the entire operation.
According to Rogács László of EZ Wash Ltd., which builds and indirectly runs an environmentally-friendly carwash franchise, it's about considering green options for your normal detail practices. For example, cleaning wheels can require the use of acid-based products that are harmful to the environment, yet there are environmentally-friendly alternatives.
"You just have to change the way of thinking about that," he stated. He also suggested looked at steam jets for cleaning, which don't produce any waste water.
Sause said owners who don't educate themselves and their employees on proper techniques are making a big mistake, he said.
"Proper use and storage of chemicals can be hazardous to the environment, but even more harmful to the person using the chemicals or doing the service," said Sause. "In my opinion, reading and understanding an M.S.D.S. (Material Safety Data Sheets) can give you the right information on how to use and store a chemical and the right supplier will give you the real world use of any chemical they sell."
In addition to understanding proper use and storage, Sause recommended that detailers use micro fiber towels over paper towels and look for and research any new tools and trends that are eco-friendly.
Attracting green business
It might cost a little more, but being green can attract more customers. According to the 2008 Green Gap Survey, conducted by Cone, LLC and The Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, 70 percent of those surveyed said the actual environmental impact of a product or service is influential in their purchasing decisions.
Sause said most detailers do not do enough to tell customers how green they really are. "As the consumer is becoming more aware of waste in packaging and products, the use of fossil fuels and resources to make those products, the 'green' movement will only get stronger and become a way of doing business," Sause explained. Educating your customers through signage and pamphlets is a marketing tool that continues to build awareness for your business long after the customer has driven out of the bay.
Sause added, "The best part of this whole 'eco-friendly' process is that it will allow the operator to better serve the public and the customer to know they've done the right thing by 'letting a professional do it.'

Please pray for Texas!
Jul 1st 2013 new
Today is the start of the second special legislative session opened by our governor in an attempt to pass (among other things) legislation that would impose regulations similar to other surgical centers upon abortion clinics as well as banning all abortions past 20 weeks. There is a fierce battle, both spiritually and legally, going on at the Capital right now which many of my friends are personally fighting. I'm helping to run a campaign to represent the pro-life women of Texas who want our voices heard amongst all the shouting of our pro-choice sisters here. Would you please all pray for us here for the next 30 days as this session continues and pray for life in Texas?
Thank you and God bless!

"Classical music composing is really slow," says Salonen. "And it's intensely lonely." Salonen may spend hours developing a small section of a piece that lasts only a few seconds when performed. He uses the Pianist Pro app to play pieces of music into composition software on his Mac. Then, thanks to the processing power of iPad Air, he can open the same complex score in Notion to make changes and play them back. The playback function allows Salonen to hear the piece as it evolves, something that wasn't possible before without assembling an orchestra to perform it.
"I have this total freedom to go back and forth between my full studio and the most portable setup I can imagine," Salonen says. That compactness and power is especially important as he travels the world, shuttling between performances and rehearsals.
Once the score is finished, it goes to the orchestra to be played for the first time. "That's the scariest bit, actually, the first rehearsal," he says. "That is the first time you hear your piece come to life. Classical music is all about the live experience. The beauty of the uniqueness of the moment. Knowing that when you go to a concert you hear something that will never be played exactly the same way again."

Proposition 106 would amend the Arizona Constitution by barring any rules or regulations that would force state residents to participate in a health-care system. The proposed amendment would also ensure that individuals would have the right to pay for private health insurance.[3]
Dr. Eric Novack, who was the major supporter behind the measure, stated that the approval of the measure is not the final step in his campaign against federal health care mandates. Dr. Novack stated that he has drafted a document called, "A Blueprint for a Sustainable Safety Net Healthcare System." Dr. Novack is the leader of the U.S. Healthcare Freedom Coalition, and planned to promote the blueprint through the organization.[4]

Text of measure
Ballot title
The ballot title that Arizona voters will see reads as follows:[5]
A "yes" vote shall have the effect of prohibiting the enactment of laws or rules that require any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system. It will also allow a person or employer to forgo health insurance and pay for health care services directly without a penalty and will allow health care providers to accept direct payment without a penalty. It will specifically allow health insurance in private health care systems.
A "no" vote shall have the effect of retaining the current law regarding a person or entity's health care choices.
Short title
The short title of the measure, according to the Arizona Secretary of State's website, reads as follows:[6]
A concurrent resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Arizona; Amending Article XXVII, By adding Section 2, Constitution of Arizona; Relating to Health Care Services.
Constitutional changes
If enacted by a majority of Arizona voters, the measure would amend Article XXVII of the Arizona Constitution by adding a new Section 2, the main part of which would read as follows:[7]
- Arizona Governor Jan Brewer endorsed the measure, stating, "I support Proposition 106 and have every reason to believe that Arizona voters will overwhelmingly pass this measure. And, when they do, a clear message will be sent to the president and Congress that this type of overreaching by the federal government will no longer be tolerated."[8]
- State representative Nancy Barto supports the amendment, and sponsored it in the state legislature.[9]
- Former presidential candidate Steve Forbes and U.S. Representatives John Shadegg of Arizona have stated their support for the measure, citing freedom of choice in the health care issue. Both men stated that there were significant holes in the health care proposal being considered in Congress.[10]
Rep. Barto speaks about Health Care Freedom Act
- According to Forbes: "Allowing individuals to make their own choice is the essence of freedom. You don't have to buy something if you don't wish to buy it. You should have those choices. This amendment would make that possible."
- According to Shadegg: "We in Arizona believe that health care is an intensely personal matter and that no law should be able to stop anyone in this country - certainly not in this state - from spending their own money to buy the health care services that they want, and no one should be compelled to spend their money on health care services they don't want."
- According to reports, three out of four members of the National Federation of Independent Business oppose the measure. The group stated that 77 percent of its state membership have come out in opposition to the health care insurance proposal.[11]
- Dr. Donnie Sansom, an anesthesiologist from Tucson, stated about the measure, "People are afraid for their health care. I have a great problem with my government saying, 'You have to purchase this.' It's unprecedented...Prop. 106 is about ensuring you have individual freedoms in place."[12]
- Linda Turley-Hansen, syndicated columnist and former Phoenix TV anchor, advised a 'yes' vote on the measure in an editorial revealing her recommendations for all the propositions on the November ballot.[13]
- State Senator Ron Gould and State Representative Nancy G. McLain both voiced their support for the measure.[14]
Arguments that have been made in favor of a "yes" vote include:
- It would "protect the rights of Arizona to determine its own, best health care system."[15]
- "Many Americans look at a federal overhaul of healthcare as a threat, and don't see how they will benefit from covering millions of uninsured people at taxpayer expense."[16]
- According to Biggovernment.com: "The federal government has a limited set of enumerated powers, while everything else is reserved to the states and the people. None of these powers includes the ability to force people to purchase health insurance, or anything else for that matter."[17]
- In an opinion piece written by Dr. Eric Novak of Glendale, Arizona, supporter of a similar 2008 initiative, he tried to clear up an misinterpretation about the proposed bill on Politico.com. The wrong "assertion" came in another opinion piece that appeared on the website on October 28, 2009. Dr. Novak stated in his writing:
The Health Care Freedom Act was born from an idea that I had in 2006, when the health care system was just as unsustainable, and the desperate need for reform was as equally apparent as it is today. The principle was and remains simple: Unless we act decisively to protect the rights of Americans and their families to remain in control of their health and health care decisions, those rights will be sacrificed on the altar of health care reform.[18]
- Dr. Novak published a column for ABC15 in Arizona, stating that the measure could ultimately save lives. According to Novak, "Prop 106 will guarantee that all Arizonans have the right to spend their own money to obtain legal health care services. Second opinions; additional medical treatments; life-saving legal drugs: No government bureaucrat should ever be able to tell you that your life and health are not worth it."[19]
- In that same column by Dr. Novak, the chairman stated that the measure is not worthless, countering arguments from opponents who stated that the measure would not overrule federal mandates. In fact, Dr. Novak stated that the measure would echo throughout the country in certain legal issues. Novak stated, "The truth is, ObamaCare is already being severely tested in our nation's courts, especially on the grounds that a mandate to buy health insurance or else faces fines and penalties is a massive and unconstitutional overreach by government. Those legal challenges will be stronger if Proposition 106 passes at the polls in November."[19]
- In the Publicity Pamphlet published by the Arizona Secretary of State's office, arguments were submitted for the passage of the measure, most notably the following:[20]
- Jeffrey A. Singer, MD of Arizonans For Health Care Freedom stated, "In a free society, people should not be forced to participate in a health insurance plan they do not want. In a free society, the people should not be able to dictate to people what kind of -and how much- lawful health care they are allowed to obtain. In a free society, the people should never be blocked from making their own personal arrangements for health care."
- Barbara Leff argued, "As many as 20 other states have followed the model we started. As a State Senator I was proud to vote to put this on the ballot to amend our State Constitution. It maintains our rights to spend our own money on medical services we want and lets us opt out of an insurance plan we don't want."
- Michelle Andrews of Certified Ortho Tech wrote, "For nearly a year we listened to various politicians tell us what was and what would not be part of health care reform. When the final product was rendered, it was more than 2,000 pages of non-comprehensible language that could be tied up in court for years... You don't need to read hundreds of pages to understand what it means. It will take less than a minute to read it...then vote YES."
- Kevin G. Rogers and James W. Klinker of the Arizona Farm Bureau stated, "We need reform in the health insurance marketplace and we need to improve public health insurance programs before we mandate programs that we don't know how we are going to subsidize. Mandated insurance requirements will limit the marketplace and do nothing to control costs."
- On August 26, 2010, approximately 100 people rallied at Sahuaro High School in Tucson, leaving with "Yes on 106" yard signs, which were to be used to campaign for the passage of the measure. According to reports, Pima County is an important area for the passage of the measure, as in 2008, a similar measure was rejected by voters, mainly due to weak support in the southern part of the state.[21]
- At a debate hosted by Cox Communications and Gateway Community College on September 22,2010, all ten measures on the November ballot in Arizona were argued for and against by both sides of the issues. Proposition 106 was discussed, to where supporter Eric Novack stated about the measure, "All people in Arizona should have the right to choose not to participate in any health care system or plan without paying a penalty, fine or tax."[22]
- State Representative Kyrsten Sinema is an opponent of the measure, stating, "Its value is in attempting to shape the debate. Its value is not in making substantive changes at the state level, because federal law supersedes the state constitution."[10]
- The Arizona Public Health Association is against the measure, as the group filed arguments against the measure in the Arizona Secretary of State's Publicity Pamphlet.[20]
- Representative Phil Lopes has stated opposition to the measure.[20]
- The League of Women Voters of Arizona stated their opposition to the measure, submitting arguments against the measure in the Arizona Secretary of State's Publicity Pamphlet.[20]
- Phil Lopes stated that the newly passed health care mandates would not prevent people from spending money on the health care services they want.[12]
- The Pima County Democratic Party recommended a 'no' vote on the measure.[23]
An editorial by the Los Angeles Times stated these arguments against the measure:[16]
- It's not clear whether a state constitution can defeat a federal healthcare mandate.
- Allowing people to ignore a national mandate to buy insurance would encourage them to carry policies only when they need treatment.
- Implicit in proposals such as Arizona's is an every-man-for-himself vision of society.
- Why shouldn't the healthy be able to refuse to pay for insurance they're confident they won't use? Because they have a stake in making healthcare affordable for those who need it. The healthier the public is as a whole, the more productive it is and the faster the economy can grow.
In a column published by ABC15, Kyrsten Sinema, Assistant House Democratic Leader, gives her reasons why she is against the measure:
- The column stated that the measure is a waste of time because the measure cannot override federal mandates or laws. The commentary brings evidence on this point, stating, "Prop. 106 is completely useless because the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution establishes that laws established by Congress are the supreme law of the land. Through Proposition 106, the state may not tell the federal government what to do."
- Sinema also stated that the measure is a waste of time because the state has many other issues that it should be tackling. Sinema stated, "With so many things wrong with our state - Republicans' massive cuts to jobs, education and health care - we've to got to focus on the priorities, not ideological ballot initiatives that fail to yield results."[19]
Other arguments that have been made by opponents include:[24]
- Rising costs in health care would be the result of uncovered residents that seek emergency care, and that mandated coverage would prevent this.
- According to John Wright and Andrew Morrill, president and vice president of Arizona Education Association, "Right now Arizona has the fourth highest percentage of uninsured children in the nation. PROP 106 moves Arizona backwards and away from providing quality, affordable health care to our children."
In the Publicity Pamphlet published by the Arizona Secretary of State's office, arguments were submitted against the measure, most notably the following:[20]
- John Wright and Andrew Morrill of Arizona Education Association stated, "Right now Arizona has the fourth highest percentage of uninsured children in the nation. PROP 106 moves Arizona backwards and away from providing quality, affordable health care to our children. The Arizona Education Association requests that you vote NO on PROP 106."
- Dr. Bonnie F. Saunders and Dr. Barbara Klein of the League of Women Voters of Arizona argued, " Proposition 106, which allows people to ignore a national mandate to buy health insurance, would encourage them to use emergency room services or to carry policies only when they need treatment. This would increase costs for everyone else, either through higher insurance premiums or taxes. This is not "freedom" for those of us paying the bill."
- Phil Lopes argued against the measure, claiming, "The Affordable Health Care Act provides new security and stability for all Americans including those with chronic illnesses, by protecting them from bad insurance company practices and by ensuring coverage is affordable regardless of health status. Passage of 106 would put Arizonans at renewed risk of going without health insurance, and losing the access to health care that insurance provides."
- Doug Hart and Bill Engler of the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans, jointly stated, "Vote "NO" on Proposition 106. Proposition 106 will HARM SENIORS. Vote "NO" on Proposition 106."

Reports, analysis and studies
Legislative analysis
A legislative council analysis performed on the measure and published in the Arizona Secretary of State's Publicity Pamphlet, impartially stated the following, in terms of what the measure would do if enacted:[20]
- Proposition 106 would amend the Arizona Constitution to:
- 1. Prohibit any law or rule from compelling any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system.
- 2. Allow a person or employer to pay directly for lawful health care services without being penalized or fined.
- 3. Allow a health care provider to accept direct payment for lawful health care services without being penalized or fined.
- 4. Provide that the purchase or sale of health insurance in private health care systems shall not be prohibited by law or rule, subject to reasonable and necessary rules that do not substantially limit a person's options.
- Proposition 106 would not:
- 1. Affect which health care services a health care provider or hospital is required to perform or provide.
- 2. Affect which health care services are permitted by law.
- 3. Prohibit care provided by law relating to worker's compensation.
- 4. Affect laws or rules in effect as of January 1, 2009.
- 5. Affect the terms or conditions of any health care system unless those terms and conditions have the effect of punishing a person or employer for paying directly for lawful health care services or punishing a health care provider or hospital for accepting direct payment from a person or employer for lawful health care services.
Media endorsements
- Inside Tuscon Business stated: "Vote yes to preserve healthcare choices."[26]
- The Desert Lamp stated in an editorial about the measure: "Formally prohibiting the state from enacting any law that would compel participation in a particular health care program is an important, albeit symbolic, step in protecting an individual's right to choose."[27]
- Goldwater State is for the measure, stating, "The events of 2010 show 2008's "no" to have been a grave mistake; let's correct it this year, score a propaganda coup for, and open a legal front for health care freedom. Vote "yes" on Prop. 106."[28]
- The Arizona Daily Star is opposed, saying, "Would keep federal health-care reform from applying to Arizonans".[29]
- The Arizona Republic is opposed, saying, "Voters should be wary about opening the floodgates for every special interest to protect its pet causes with constitutional writ."[30]
- The East Valley Tribune recommended a 'no' vote on the measure, stating, "Much of this referral was originally meant to counter the public-option component of federal reform — a moot point because it no longer includes such a public option. Beyond that, this proposition may be legally pre-empted by federal law, which could result in needless lawsuits. We understand the desire to fight back against federal health care, but this is a pointless way to do it."[31]
- The Yuma Sun is against the measure, stating in an editorial: "Although Proposition 106 is proclaimed by supporters as being about "choice," it more accurately is at attempt to head off a national health care system and reduce choice."[32]
- A poll conducted by Rocky Mountain surveying 555 registered voters in the state showed that 38 percent supported the measure. The poll was conducted during October 1-10, 2010 and had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.[33]

On August 12, 2010, a 78-page lawsuit was filed by the Goldwater Institute and Arizona lawmakers against the federal health care mandates. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Phoenix, disputes key points in the new health care law, focusing on the requirement to purchase health insurance. Other plaintiffs in the case include U.S. Representatives Jeff Flake, Trent Franks and John Shadegg. The lawsuit is not directly correlated to the proposed constitutional amendment. According to attorney Clint Bolick, who is in the case, "Congress simply does not have the power under the 'commerce clause' to require an individual mandate. This is the first time that Congress has attempted to compel individuals to buy a private product."[34][35]
Path to the ballot
The ballot measure was referred to the November ballot by a majority vote of the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona State Senate. A majority vote is required in the Arizona State Legislature. Arizona is one of ten states allow a referred amendment to go on the ballot after a majority vote in one session of the state's legislature.[9]
Similar certified measures
|Healthcare on the ballot in 2010
Similar measures in other states that have been certified for a 2010 ballot include:
- Florida has a measure on the ballot that would allow voters whether or not to ban any laws that require people to participate in a health care system. A minimum of 60% of voters must approve the amendment in order for it to take effect. The measure was on the November 2, 2010 general election ballot.
- Voters in Missouri will also get a chance to decide whether or not to block the federal government from requiring people to buy health insurance and ban punishment for those without health insurance. Advocates say the measure will "protect the individual's right to make health care decisions." Opponents of the measures and some constitutional scholars say the proposals are mostly symbolic, intended to send a message of political protest, and have little chance of succeeding in court over the long run.
- A measure in Oklahoma was sent to the November 2, 2010 general election ballot, and will ask voters whether to categorize a law that would require residents, employers or health care providers to participate in any health care system unconstitutional.
Previous years
- The proposed health insurance reform amendment is similar to a November 2008 proposition that narrowly failed, Proposition 101. However, the new version has some changes that take into account the main criticism levied against the 2008 measure. The new version ensures that patients covered under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System will not be negatively impacted if the amendment passes. In 2008, AHCCCS officials argued that Proposition 101 would increase costs by preventing the agency from requiring patients to seek services from within its network of providers.[3]
