There's this block of text that is overlapping posts about halfway down the page.

It's not part of a post, because it was overlapping two different posts...

And it looks like it wants to be here for a long time, since it's not moving with the posts it's overlapping!

I don't know what I did...

UPDATE:  The nice person that wordpress.org figured it out!  the text from the article that I linked to had html coding in it that made the text "absolute" in position... 

Proposal 06-3
A REFERENDUM ON PUBLIC ACT 160 OF 2004 – AN ACT TO ALLOW THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A HUNTING SEASON FOR MOURNING DOVES

Public Act 160 of 2004 would:

• Authorize the Natural Resources Commission to establish a hunting season for mourning doves.
• Require a mourning dove hunter to have a small game license and a $2.00 mourning dove stamp.
• Stipulate that revenue from the stamp must be split evenly between the Game and Fish Protection Fund and the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund.
• Require the Department of Natural Resources to address responsible mourning dove hunting; management practices for the propagation of mourning doves; and participation in mourning dove hunting by youth, the elderly and the disabled in the Department’s annual hunting guide.

Watch this. (Anti 3)

And here is a "pro" article...

I'll probably vote "no" just because I like the birds.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO BAN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS THAT GIVE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT TO GROUPS OR INDIVIDUALS BASED ON THEIR RACE, GENDER, COLOR, ETHNICITY OR NATIONAL ORIGIN FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION OR CONTRACTING PURPOSES

The proposed constitutional amendment would:

• Ban public institutions from using affirmative action programs that give preferential treatment to groups or individuals based on their race, gender, color, ethnicity or national origin for public employment, education or contracting purposes. Public institutions affected by the proposal include state government, local governments, public colleges and universities, community colleges and school districts.

• Prohibit public institutions from discriminating against groups or individuals due to their gender, ethnicity, race, color or national origin. (A separate provision of the state constitution already prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin.)

(Thoughts on this one? One of the things that it would ban is same-sex grade and high schools)

HERE is what I need to be prepared for...there are only 50 questions on the test, but I don't know what they'll be...

PROPOSAL 06-1
A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO REQUIRE THAT MONEY HELD IN CONSERVATION AND RECREATION FUNDS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THEIR INTENDED PURPOSES

The proposed constitutional amendment would:

• Create a Conservation and Recreation Legacy Fund within the Constitution and establish existing conservation and recreation accounts as components of the fund.
• Use current funding sources such as state park entrance and camping fees; snowmobile, ORV and boating registration fees; hunting and fishing license fees; taxes and other revenues to fund accounts.
• Establish the current Game and Fish Protection Fund and the Nongame Fish and Wildlife Fund within the Constitution.
• Provide that money held in Funds can only be used for specific purposes related to conservation and recreation and cannot be used for any purpose other than those intended.

Should this proposal be adopted?

The Detroit Free Press says :

It would protect forever the license and user fees people pay for activities such as fishing, hunting, camping and snowmobiling to make sure the money is used only for recreation and conservation.

The measure would convert 13 existing accounts under the Department of Natural Resources into three constitutionally protected, raid-proof funds. In his last term, Gov. John Engler's administration took $7.8 million from the Waterways Fund to balance the state budget. The proposal is to prevent that from happening again.

As a camper, I know that one of my favorite state campgrounds has doubled their camping fee - this year.  And that the money I pay for camping and entrance fees are being used elsewhere.

Also, a few years ago one of our governers raided the school employee's pension fund and ended his term with a balanced budget...this should not happen.

If funds are supposed to be protected, they should be protected.  I think I'll vote yes on this one.
