SCHROEDER, Justice.

The Petitioners assert the Indian Gaming Initiative violates the Idaho Constitution's prohibition against gambling, violates notions of equal protection, and that it extinguishes existing debts. The Petitioners seek an order and/or writ prohibiting the Secretary of State from placing the initiative on the November, 2002 ballot. This matter is before the Court upon the petition and a motion to dismiss the petition.
