Abdullah, Halimah, and Catherine Shoichet. "Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoes controversial anti gay bill, SB 1062." CNN. CNN, 26 Feb 2014. Web. 3 Mar 2014. []

This web article explains the economic concern if the bill were to become law. Many businesses such as Apple, NFL, and MLB even discussed not taking any part in the state. The economic stability played a huge factor considering this bill involved local businesses. This web article focused mainly on the business stand point. I found it very interesting because many of the articles focused only on rights. Knowing how this bill would affect the economy I believe will play a huge factor with the debate.

This article discusses what the bill SB1062 is and what it includes. The article also details the rationale behind the SB1062. The two different views on the bill are described. Opponents of the law are featured in the article, as are supporters. The opposition believes the bill is too broad, while the supporters believe it would shield those with strong religious beliefs from being sued over not serving a person they do not feel comfortable serving. Hypothetical questions that may arise over the strictness of the law are brought into the public eye. The article even mentions whether or not the Constitution is violated by the law. This article would be beneficial as it discusses the basis of the SB1062, which is needed to set the scene for the compare/contrast paper. The article is not biased which allows both sides to be discussed. Seeing both sides gives a better insight into the bill. The possible Constitutional violations are going to be an aspect in the paper, so the information about the Constitution in the paper will be extremely beneficial.

Brewer, Jan. Retrieved from //CNN// (2014). Governor Brewer’s thoughts on SB 1062 [Press Conference]. 3 March 2014.

Arizona’s Governor, Jan Brewer, announced that she decided to veto SB 1062 because she felt that there is no “specific and present concern” existing in Arizona over the topic of religious freedom in business practices. She said she felt that the bill was too broad and would leave room for discriminatory practices in business. This article will be helpful in writing my paper because it shows exactly what the governor decided in regards to Senate Bill 1062 and why she feels that way. Much of the news on this topic revolves around the governor because she is the only entity stopping the bill from being passed, which means her opinion on the topic is valued highly.

Brewer, J. (2014). SB 1062 – Press Conference. [] This source is the transcript of the speech Arizona Governor Jan Brewer gave on why she decided to veto bill SB 1062. She acknowledges both sides of the argument and comes to a well thought out conclusion at the end of weighing all of the possibilities. The governor says the bill seems to be unnecessary because she has never heard of a Arizona shop owner’s rights ever being infringed upon.

This source will be useful to my paper because Governor Jan Brewer states that the bill was too broad to ever gain acceptance in the state. Because it was so broad, shop owners could have used the bill to justify something that was completely wrong to begin with.

Corbett, P. (2014, March 1). //After sb 1062: Time for damage control//. Retrieved from <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[]

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This source encompasses how the bill will have some back lash for a little while. It shows more of the side of the people it is hurting rather than the religious side. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This source is helpful because it is against the bill and how it doesn’t have support from many of the big businesses.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Delmar, D.

Retrieved from []

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">David Delmar expresses his opinion just in the title of his blog by calling the bill “egregiously misrepresented.” Reading through the article I realized the author was being very sarcastic while discussing the way the religious groups felt towards this bill thus making this article very bias to supporting those that the bill was discriminating against. Although the article was very bias it did help provide a lot of information from a nonreligious point of view.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This source suggests that the bill actually has far less power than people are assuming it has. Some experts even believed that the law means nothing in the larger scheme of everything. However, the three reasons for putting the law into action--motivation via religious belief, firmly held belief and prevention of a person from following their religious beliefs—are also discussed. The article goes on to discuss how the issue is then taken to the government if a person refuses serve someone because of their religious beliefs. SB1062 is also seen in the article as a possible encourager of discrimination. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The information in this article will be beneficial to the paper as the article discusses the belief that the SB1062 really does not affect much. It is important to have a different view on the law, so the view in this article will be able to contribute to the compare/contrast paper. The three specifications of the bill will also be important to include in a paper on the topic as the reasons are at the middle of the debate fueled by SB1062.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This source lists ten things people may not know about the facts of the bill that was vetoed. Some of the facts are when it was passed, it would have changed part of an already standing Arizona law, it set out requirements for people to fulfill about their religious beliefs, senators regretted their votes after they already had voted, and big name companies were offended by it. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This source is helpful because it lists the facts so that quality information can be used.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This article provides insight on the basics of the SB1062 bill. The impact on an existing law is mentioned as are the specifications of SB1062. The article goes on to mention that the bill has even caused some Senate members to regret their votes on the subject. The author, Tal Kopan, points out that even many prominent Republicans are against the passing of the bill. The article also discusses similar legislation on other states as well as backlash from major corporations connected to Arizona such as the NFL. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The article’s information is key in discussing the finer details of the impact of SB1062. The details provided in the article will be helpful for the paper by providing information about the backlash. Major corporations’ impact on the discussion can be to contrast the two different sides, and so can the fact that some Republicans are actually against the law. The article will be essential for the contrasting aspect of the paper.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This article covered the basics of the bill. It explained the key details of importance that were focused on when Governor Brewer made her decision to veto the bill. This article did have a strong bias against the bill. However, I did find it very useful and I agreed with the authors of this article.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This source provides a look on the bill that is the opposite idea of most of the other articles and sources I have gathered. This source views bill SB 1062 as something that is not meant to be explicitly anti-gay. It could be taken that way, but that was not the only reason it was created.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This source will be useful in my paper because I need to know both sides of an argument in order to properly compare and contrast those two sides. It gives information on why exactly it was created, and why it may not be such a bad idea after all. They say it was not created to be discriminatory directly towards gays but to be anti-discriminatory towards Christians and people of other various faiths.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">In McLaughlin’s article, there is discussion about Arizona Governor Brewer and her past actions as a political figure. Brewer’s frequent controversy is mentioned. The article also discusses the backlash from major corporations. The people protected under the bill are talked about too. Different opinions from different sides of the issue are presented to provide an unbiased view. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The article is beneficial to the paper because both views are represented. The article is also unbiased which is important for compare/contrast essay. The information on Brewer will help in the discussion of the vetoing of the bill. Once again, it will be key to include the opinions and backlash of major corporations to show how big the impact of the bill is.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This article discusses if the law SB1062 is protecting religious freedom, or if it’s Anti-Gay Discrimination. The law was based off of the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act", based off the rights of the constitution in the first amendment. Other lawmakers in 13 states as of now have introduced laws like law SB1062. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This article will help me when typing my paper, because it discusses what is being debated about. It is not bias because it is from NBC. It also talked about other states with a similar debate on the topic.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Morgan gives an overview on reasons why Senate Bill 1062 should be passed and why it is needed in Arizona. He talks about the history of religious freedom in Arizona and the many ways that have been tried to keep it intact and the many ways that it has yet been infringed upon. This article will be useful because it shows the pro-Senate Bill 1062 side of the argument, which will give me a source for arguing the positives of the bill.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This source is an interview with a state senator, and it directly pins the two sides together because it is an interview and that means different opinions are flying. It makes some amazing points on both sides and I can use these points as the contrast for the essay. But both sides also state that they are only trying to do what they think will be best for the country and the interest groups inside of it. It gives some honest comparisons to each sides which will work out in my essay.

In a press release, the senators stated that they made a bad decision in a rushed process. Senator Bob Worsley said that they “feel it was a solution in search of a problem.” This article will be useful in writing my paper because it talks about the backlash from the public, including a few Republican Senators in Arizona. It shows that even some of the people who approved the bill do not want it to go into effect.

It also explains how the act SB 1062 would increase the religious rights of people in Arizona. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This source is useful because there are not as many sources showing the positives of this act. This source explains the religious portion of this act well.

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This article supported the other side of the argument over the bill. It stated that SB 1062 was protecting the people of Arizonas religious rights. The article was extremely bias towards the religious groups of Arizona. However, there are not many articles that are so I found it very useful to see the bill from those peoples point of view.

They are mostly towards the anti-bill SB 1062 side, but they are still valid points.

It gave business owners the right to operate their business in accordance with religious beliefs. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I never considered the impact of social media.
