| For many years sovereign nations have had exclusive rights to casino gaming; creating a monopoly. That unacceptable scheme violates the individual and collective rights of many Arizonans. By permitting racetracks and private casinos to operate in Arizona, it will create thousands of jobs; and will establish new funding for education, organ transplants, C.P.S., Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans, Police, First Responders, Cities, and Counties, along with many vitally needed programs which are not being funded by native casinos. Also, by passing this initiative all Arizonans may invest in this very lucrative enterprise. The gaming monopoly must end now. | |||||

Taking a page out of the playbooks of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Gov. Jan Brewer and extreme right-wing Arizona lawmakers are pushing a series of bills attacking firefighters, teachers, nurses and other public service workers who work hard to keep our communities safe and strong. These bills would take away all collective bargaining rights for public service workers, leading to larger class sizes in our schools, more dangerous working conditions for firefighters and police officers and making our communities less safe. As in Wisconsin and Ohio these measures are not about balancing Arizona's budget and are not about jobs. They are about destructive political agendas, right-wing politicians and their corporate funders pushing across the country to consolidate their power. And finally but not least, the workers, the poor, the elderly and children of our beautiful state have been attacked enough by this governor with her cut backs that threaten to turn our beloved state into a place resembling a third world country. In this year, the centennial of Arizona, we will re-take our state for love, compassion and humanity. May God bless the State of Arizona, recall Jan Brewer! |

| Gross mismanagement of Arizona's finances by Governor Brewer including budget cuts to programs vital to the health, welfare and education of Arizonans that could have been avoided with bipartisan cooperation and willingness to consider alternate proposals to addrss the state's fiscal challenges. We are ashamed that our state was first in the nation to cut organ transplant funding from its Medicaid program (AHCCCS) which insures the poor and has already resulted in lost lives. It is unacceptable that the Governor has proposed further cuts to AHCCCS funding that would also illegally cancel medical coverage for roughly 280,000 of the state's poor and needy. This defies and undermines the will of the people of Arizona who guaranteed AHCCCS coverage to these individuals with the passage of Proposition 204 in 2000 and constitutes an abuse of gubernatorial power. Arizonans are a people of conscience and we will no longer tolerate the type of heavy-handed governing and unwillingness to consider alternative bipartisan solutions to the state's fiscal challenges that do not compromise the health, welfare and education of the people of this great state. It is time to restore credible leadership to the Office of Governor and to rebuild our state's tattered reputation. | |||||

| We, Citizens for a Better Arizona and residents of District 18, submit this petition to recall State Senator Russell Pearce for his failure to focus on issues and concerns that affect all Arizonans. Mesa and Arizona need a leader who will pass laws to create jobs, protect public education and ensure access to health care for our children and those most in need. We deserve a representative that reflects our values, beliefs and vision for Mesa and all of Arizona. By signing this petition we publicly withdraw our support for Russell Pearce and what he represents. | |||||
