Arizona Bein' Bad........
They say that in order to know who someone is, just look at their friends. I say that an observation of those who oppose them can also reveal much. Since The Fair State of Arizona passed the Now Infamous Law known as "1070" (which a majority of said opposition hasn't even read - including the U.S. Attourney General (Eric Holder)), many people/groups have decided to boycott Arizona. Here is a List of Those Who are Officially Mad as Heck at Us as of 14 May 2010. Just looking at THE LIST almost makes me feel better in a way.......

	The Phoenix mayor is boycotting Arizona??? I heard about St. Paul. :p The big question that begs to be asked is, How many of these people/organizations had any intention of coming there in the first place? :p Hugs, Jon (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Our poor excuse for a mayor was going to sue the state over this law, but had to get an OK from the city council. The city council said "no". Me thinks he is not long for his office.... A couple of the names on the list are groups that were going to have conventions here & cancelled. The rest are just lemmings... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
