BOYCOTT HATE! Don't patronize this State!!!

Here's another shout out from an active reader, responding to the previous post on Prison Abolitionist from Democracy Now's coverage of the SB 1070 protests. That post was put up there for me by my comrade in the Netherlands, since I've been too busy moving, protesting, cop-watching, agitating our Neo-nazis, getting burglarized, and going to prison these past few days to do much of anything with these blogs myself. That's why I have back-up (thank you, dear friend).

Tonight I have a band to go see at Conspire Phoenix, so, sorry all - check out my links to the blogs above for someone else's local radical coverage - all I can say now is that while there are some awesome people here, there's still an abundance of free-flowing nastiness and hate swaggering around this state. These people should be shamed back into donning white hoods, but instead they're running for political office on platforms that promise to erode both the Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They'll probably get elected, too, unless some more good citizens move here and register to vote before the deadline. It's pretty troubling what's been going on down here.

Thanks for your contribution, Montana. Hope the rest of you are boycotting us, America - that's the only reason this place finally decided to honor Martin Luther King Day. More on that issue later this week...right now I need a break from this ugly place.

Montana has left a new comment on your post "Democracy Now: about July 29th 2010 in Arizona":

"House Bill 2013" and "SB1070"

0 = Arizona
2 = USA/ Our Constitution/ We the People of the United States

We are a country that is ruled by the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, not by the majority of the day. When you do not know the principles in these documents, therein lays the problem in losing when you are challenged in court.

This month of July 2010, our U.S. Federal courts have found the so-called State of Arizona hate-filled legislation, namely "House Bill 2013" and "SB1070", un-constitutional (So much for the intellect of Jan Brewer, "Did you read the bills you signed?"). But we all know that they will go crying to the Supreme Court of the United States, please, please, please go. We will fight you in Arizona, any other state, and yes in Washington DC. We will not tire, we will not be silent and we will persevere, I promise you.

In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme of clans; the Baggers, Birthers and Blowhards (people who love to push their beliefs and hate on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that's who they need to extract from their party if they really want to win in November. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, "We Ain't Coming Out".

It's all about politics: Jan Brewer you were never elected to be Governor, but you have no problem trying to get elected on the backs of undocumented workers, you loser (sure, you may win, but the long-term effects to your so-called state is just beginning). Here is a partial list of your hate-filled legislation;

1. S.B. 1070,

2. House Bill 2013

3. No permit concealed weapons law,

4. The famous Birthers law,

5. Banning Ethnic studies law,

6. Could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona, ordered to be whiten,

7. On deck to pass, no citizenship to babies born to undocumented workers,

8. If she can read she should look up Arizona's House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which was un-constitutional and failed when legally challenged),

9. The boycotted Martin Luther King Day, what idiots don't want another holiday? Yes, you guessed it: Arizona.

Well Arizona, you can keep boycotting new holidays, passing hate filled legislation and the rest of our country will continue to challenge you in court of law and Boycott your so-called state.

Lets face it, no one can really believe anything that comes out of Brewer's mouth, in an interview, this year, in an attempt to gain sympathy, she first said her father had died in Germany fighting the Nazis in World War II (which ended in 1945), but of course we find out the truth that her father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955. But we are supposed to believe everything else she says, right?

As they say in the World Cup: Gooooooooal!

Arizona Travel Advisory: State under seige by Fascists.

I like this travel advisory idea - we can do so much with that: mock road signs, mock press releases, mock "know your rights" cards just for Arizona visitors (we can even hand them out at visitor centers) - I love it.

California Legislature to hear Resolution to Boycott Arizona

One week after the the Sacramento city council voted to boycott Arizona, The California Legislature is about to jump into the game. This week, 40 state lawmakers plan to introduce a resolution supporting an economic boycott of our fair neighbor to the southeast. Don't expect any Republicans to vote for it.

This boycott, not unlike the ones that cities like San Francisco and Sacramento have implemented, calls for a total disinvestment in Arizona. Unlike other boycotts, it also calls for Major League Baseball to reconsider hosting the 2011 All-Star game in Arizona. That's important. Incredibly though,this resolution also contains a travel advisory warning about being picked up by Arizona authorities.

A travel advisory against another state in America. A state California has significant economic ties with. It's like part of our country has become the Third World. Whatever motivation Arizona had in passing this absurd immigration law, it's clear that this wasn't the sort of response it expected from it's neighbor. The laws regarding immigration and ethnic studies passed by Arizona are suspect at best and bigotry of the darkest kind at worst, but have relations in this country gotten to the point where states boycotting each other is an acceptable reality? At this point, the best outcome may be if the federal government wins its lawsuit against Arizona. God bless America.
