A YES vote for this amendment will allow the Legislature TO SIMPLY DISREGARD THE WILL OF VOTERS by establishing an additional way for the Legislature to supersede a voter-protected act. THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF ARIZONA URGES YOU TO VOTE NO."" - Pinny Sheoran, President of the League of Women Voters of Arizona, sponsored by League of Women Voters of Arizona, in opposition to Proposition 128 (Learn more)
""Since Arizona became a state in 1912, voters have used ballot initiatives to address key challenges like these via direct democracy. But some politicians at the state capitol don't like that voters can set policy through the ballot initiative process. Instead of respecting the will of the people, it seems that many elected leaders want to change the rules to block voters from using our power to make decisions. That means more policy made through backroom deals and lobbyist influence, and less power for everyday voters to decide on the issues that matter most to us."" - Carlos Figueroa, Owner and Head Tortillero of Maiz Tucson, in opposition to Proposition 128 (Learn more)
"Under our current system, there is virtually no way for our elected representatives to fix an unconstitutional initiative. Proposition 128 enhances the credibility of the initiative system by allowing our elected legislators to amend a measure approved by voters if it's found to contain any unconstitutional language by the Arizona Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court." - Danny Seiden, President & CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry, in support of Proposition 128 (Learn more)
""The proposed amendment allows the Arizona Legislature to amend or repeal a voter-approved ballot initiative if the Arizona Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court declares any part of it unconstitutional or illegal. This will result in well-researched, well-written citizen initiatives that meet the requirements of constitutional law, benefitting both initiators and voters alike. Please vote YES."" - Cathi Herrod, President of the Center for Arizona Policy Action, in support of Proposition 128 (Learn more)
