The Prop 13 Arizona Committee commends Senator Harper for choosing to support their Initiative language and for using the constitutional scrutiny of the legislative system to validate the exact wording of their Initiative. His support has quieted the accusations of a few uninformed but vocal opponents who had wrongly claimed that the legal language of Prop 13 Arizona would not pass muster in a legal review.

The Prop 13 Arizona Committee will not accept a diluted version of their Initiative, if that is what the Legislature eventually passes. So, the Committee is forging ahead to get 230,047 valid signatures, to qualify the Initiative for the November 2008 ballot.

And, their "Call Five Friends" program encourages supporters to contact five people and have each one get a petition filled with up to 15 "easy" signatures from family, friends and co-workers they are in routine contact with.

Volunteers are being recruited to collect signatures at polling places throughout the state on February 5th for the Presidential primary election. Voters can turn out at the polls to vote and to sign the Prop 13 Arizona petition at the same time.
