Supporters of a state constitutional amendment banning affirmative action programs have met the filing deadline to get the measure on the November ballot.
The Arizona Civil Rights Initiative filed 334,658 signatures with the Secretary of State's office Thursday, surpassing the necessary number by more than 100,000.
Deputy Secretary of State Kevin Tyne says it will take more than a month to verify that enough signatures are valid and certify it for the ballot.
A Michigan-based activist group filed a lawsuit Monday to keep the measure off the ballot, claiming that petition-signature gatherers used deceptively worded pitches to convince people to sign. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/07/03/20080703affaction.html

Hi,
This is one the action on ballot,'According to Bruning's description, the measure would "amend the Nebraska Constitution to provide that the state, and any public institution of higher education, political subdivision or government institution shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, individuals or groups based upon race.
