From the Paper
"On November 8, 1994, California voters enacted ballot Proposition 187, a measure that denies illegal immigrants access to public education and to all health services save emergency care. The winning margin was 59 percent. Although implementation of the measure was blocked by an injunction on November 16, scarcely a week after the vote, the measure has already had a number of reported effects, ranging from increased racial harassment of Latinos to the failure of an anticipated increase in illegal immigration from the interior of Mexico to materialize, in spite of that country's economic crisis.
More generally, the controversy over Proposition 187, which was only sharpened by passage of the measure, has brought ... "

From the Paper
"A portion of elite opinion in the United States has taken a strong stand against what they label as "immigrant-baiting." For example, Business Week (Oct. 14, 1996) has argued that it is as loathsome as race-baiting and is often used for ugly political purposes. The magazine believes that stigmatizing immigrants cannot be tolerated. A think-tank in the state of California released a comprehensive report entitled "Why They Count: Immigrants Contributions to the Golden State." This report was intended to address the rising tide of anti-immigrant sentiment in the state of California through the presentation of what the report labeled as factual and education information on the historical and modern-day contributions of California immigrants..."

California Proposition 187, 1996.

From the Paper
"This research paper documents and argues the merits of Proposition 187 , a ballot initiative which was approved by California voters in November, 1994. The implementation of 187 has been stayed, pending a final resolution of legal challenges to its constitutionality and validity which will ultimately be decided by the United States Supreme Court and courts in California. If 187 is held to be valid, substantial savings will accrue to the State of California in the form of reduced public costs of dealing with illegal immigrants. Even if 187 is struck down, its passage has served a useful purpose by focusing public debate on the inequitable burdens placed on California and other border states due to the failure of the federal government to cope effectively with the problem of illegal immigration."

Abstract
In depth analysis of Proposition 34, which attempts to limit and disclose on campaign spending and contributions including. The author discusses how it was brought into the election, how long and why people have been fighting for it, as well as the pros and cons of the California proposition. Includes excellent examples with supportive quotes.
From the Paper
"This year?s election includes the controversial issue of Proposition 34, limits and disclosures on campaign spending and contributions. Currently, there is no limit on campaign contributions and spending in California. Proposition 208, initiating strict limits on campaign contributions and spending, was passed by voters in 1996, but was not put into effect because legal issues tied it up in court (the proposition was challenged on the grounds that its limits were unreasonably low compared to the cost of running for office in California). Proposition 34 attempts to accomplish what Proposition 208 of 1996 could not. As did Proposition 208, it intends to limit campaign contributions and loans to state candidates and political parties, but to higher levels than what Proposition 208 designated. It also attempts to provide voluntary spending limits, expand public disclosure requirements and increase penalties."

California Proposition 39, 2006.
A position paper arguing against Proposition 39, which would change the number of votes that the school board requires before it could approve a bond.
1,134 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how California's Proposition 39 would allow the funding procedure of school facilities in California to be altered and make both constitutional and statuary changes in the current governing laws. More specifically, the paper explains that Proposition 39 would allow 55 percent of the voters to approve school bonds, a reduction from the current two-thirds requirement, and that this change would ultimately increase the burden of California taxpayers.
From the Paper
"This disparity forces districts to rely on the state for their school facility needs. If enacted like other States, California would be allowed to have the control of the local school body and provide adequate facilities and safeguards against the school administration.
Proposition 1A may provide state funds for school facilities but the local districts must raise the required matching funds. The law at the moment hinders all innovation and the schools lag behind others in the country."

Marx and Durkheim on Proposition 187, 1994.
An analysis of the socioeconomic forces behind California's anti-illegal immigration initiative and application of sociologists' theories to critique it.

From the Paper
"Marx and Durkheim's theoretical social perspectives are applicable to California's Proposition 187, one of the most widely debated, controversial bills in recent state history. Because both pro and con viewpoints on Proposition 187 have as their basis a malingering sense of social malaise, it will be beneficial to examine Marx and Durkheim's theories of social organization.
Proposition 187, the sweeping ballot initiative that would make illegal immigrants in California ineligible for most state-funded services (non-emergency health care, education, and social services), is an incendiary measure that has divided society into two camps--those who believe that society should do its best to integrate those immigrants who are already here (although undocumented), and those who believe that some sort of..."

From the Paper
" This is an examination of the legal battles of California Proposition 187, the controversial initiative which was approved in the General Election of 1994. It will consider the basis for the judge?s ruling invalidating portions of the proposition. It will present the reasoning of both the supporters and the opponents of the initiative. It will examine the legal pros and cons of the two sides. Finally it will take a position against the proposition.
California voters approved Proposition 187 on November 8, 1994, by a final percentage of 59% in favor against 41% opposed. Proposition 187, if implemented, would cut off all public social services, publicly-funded health care benefits (with the exception of emergency health care), public elementary and secondary education, and public postsecondary education from non.."

Abstract
This paper examines the content and intent of California's Proposition 209. Those who supported and those who opposed the proposition are discussed, as well as the arguments that supported their position. Also studied are the effects or lack of effects Proposition 209 had governmental, business, and educational services.
From the Paper
"The language of the original Proposition #209 (public initiative) sounded like civil rights legislation from the 1960s, and was intended to sound that way; but according to detractors, the law sought to reverse civil rights gains from that era. The title, ?Prohibition against Discrimination or Preferential Treatment by State and other Public Entities,? had an anti-discrimination ring to it, and one of the #209 campaign themes, played heavily on television, was the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. line, that people should be judged by ?the content of their character,? not by ?the color of their skin.? But what all the slogans and even the title of the legislation actually meant was an end to many affirmative action programs in California."

Proposition 71, Nursing Implications and Ethics, 2006.
A review of the impact that California's Proposition 71 has had on transplant nurses.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact a given legislation (i.e. California's Proposition 71) has on nursing, particularly transplant nurses, the prevalent ethical issues surrounding stem cell research, its potential in transplant medicine and the inherent responsibilities nurses have in keeping patients' perspectives in check while buoying their hopes for better quality of life.
From the Paper
"The approval of Proposition 71 in California will have a predictable effect throughout the scientific community down to the grassroots health care systems and ultimately the patient. The technology and impact of therapeutic stem cell transplant is not new. Bone marrow transplants can be thought of as the prototype stem cell transplant, harvesting entire colonies of hematopoietic stem cells from a donor. There are drawbacks to this from a nursing perspective, however. The nurse of a transplant patient, especially a pediatric patient must be aware that among the stressors the family may be going through are drastic lifestyle alterations, coping as a family, psychological strain on the parents, as well as an understandable financial burden (Wu, Mu, Tsay & Chiou, 2005).

Anti-Immigrant Legislation, 1997.
Analyzes aims of and moral and legal flaws in the English Only movement (Texas and California) and California propositions 187 and 209.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The "English Only" movement, negative mass attitudes against immigration, bilingual programs in the public schools, welfare reform excluding immigrants, and, most recently, Propositions 187 and 209 in California are all indications that the public is ready for reforms which return greater power into the hands of the white and powered majority. In Texas and California, where the wars are primarily being fought, immigrants are being blamed for social malaise and a general lowering of standards. In those states, the public schools have been a special focus of attention. The following paper will examine civil rights in general, and the "English Only" movement in particular; in addition, Calfornia'a Propositions 187 (the initiative to deny basic social services to undocumented immigrants) and 209 (amends California's state Constitution to forbid racial and gender ..."

Parents and Proposition 227, 2007.
A discussion of the California educational initiative known as Proposition 227.

»

Abstract
This paper describes the California initiative know as Proposition 227, which is intended to encourage parents' involvement in their children's education. Proposition 227 involves a state-funded community tutoring program that should bolster English outside of the classroom, involve parents to learn English and encourage their childrens' language skills. The paper also includes criticisms of the initiative, such as parents signing a pledge that they would help their children a certain amount of time with homework. The paper concludes, however, that this was an innovative program that integrated the community into the learning process.
From the Paper
"After the passage of Proposition 227 in California, in schools and adult education centers across California, more and mothers and fathers set aside household chores, put their preschool children in day care and went back to school themselves. A higher percentage of adults took English language classes to better help their school-age children with homework and study for tests. Their primarily motivation was to either help their family better endure the effects of the end of bilingual education in California's public schools, or to take advantage of Proposition 227's new, state-funded community tutoring program. The proposition set aside $50 million a year for ten years so school districts could provide after-school family literacy programs. The amount of money each district received for adult tutoring was based on a formula using the number of limited English-speaking students per district (Heredia, 1999)."

From the Paper
"Look closely at the front of practically any restaurant in California, or thousands of other everyday consumer store-fronts, and you will see a notice warning that entry to the premises implies possible exposure to one of a range of chemicals which the State of California has determined may be unsafe. The a warning on this so-called Proposition 65 notice is a sobering one, and one might imagine that it would be intimidating to many members of a public which is increasingly anxious--in the eyes of some business interests and their defenders, irrationally so-about environmental hazards. Yet the Proposition 65 notices seem to have no negative effect on the businesses which must post them. Their very ubiquity renders them virtually meaningless; when half the stores one enters have such a notice, it no longer connotes an unusual and distinctive hazard but becomes part of ... "

Proposition 184, 2005.
An overview of this law, also known as "The Three Strikes Law".

Abstract
California's Proposition 184, also known as the "three strikes and you're out law," became law on November 9, 1994, when approved by the California Senate. The law applies mandatory 25 years-to-life prison sentences to anybody charged with a third criminal offence. This paper examines the views of those in favor of the law, as well as those who oppose it. The paper examines views from opposing sources such as "Three strikes and you're out! A Promise to Kimber" by Mike Reynolds, et. al and "Cruel Justice" by Joe Domanick.
From the Paper
"The public's vision of the three strikes law focused on putting rapists, molesters and murderers in prison and out of harm's way. It was after the legislation became law that stories of shoplifters serving twenty-five year sentences appeared in the media. How did this legal quandary come about? It happened because well-intentioned legislators and voters wanted to protect girls like Kimber and Polly. The families of subsequent lawbreakers, who suffered because family members were imprisoned for a minimum of twenty-five years for nonviolent crimes, felt they were being treated harshly. California voted in favor of a law that was considered by Newsweek as being "the toughest in the nation" (Domanick p. 3.)"

Abstract
This paper examines the background of issues that gave rise to Proposition AA, the contents of Proposition AA itself and the proposition?s critics. Proposition AA allows voters to decide whether to approve the financing for renovations at the district's nine community colleges, as well as construct new facilities that have been previously launched under Proposition A.
From the Paper
"Like many social service-oriented sectors of local government, the Los Angeles Community College District is facing severe financial challenges. California governor Gray Davis has announced $21 million in state budget cuts, potentially reducing even further the stretched resources of the community college system."
