Issue Position: State's Rights and Sovereignty

Issue Position

During Arizona's Centennial, after becoming a state 100-years ago, it is high time that the federal government honor it's commitment to Arizona and its citizens by fulfilling all of the requirements of the 1911 Enabling Act, and give us back our sovereignty over Arizona land, air, water and mineral rights, just like all the other states that joined the union during the 18th and 19th centuries. In outrageous cases, such as where the U.S. Forest Service recently blocked the city of Tombstone from repairing its water wells that have been in use for over 130 years, Arizona sheriffs need to arrest federal agents whenever they harm the sovereign rights of our citizen's, especially concerning land, water and the right to earn a living. There's an old saying: "Arizonians don't fight over whiskey... we fight over water!"
