Please sign this Petition opposing the blitz of left-wing sites calling for a boycott of Arizona.
They also have put up a Facebook site. If you Facebook, just click "Like" to add your name to those who support the rule of law, and support the people of Arizona.
Text of site (excerpt):
ARIZONA IS BESIEGED by illegal immigration--more people and drugs cross illegally into the United States through Arizona than any other state. And Arizonans suffer the massive levels of crime that go with it. Drug and human smuggling, extortion, kidnapping and murders. And the Federal government has done NOTHING to stop it.
Arizonans have had enough. They decided to stop waiting for the Feds to do what the Constitution mandates--to protect its citizens from external threats. so they passed legislation--SB1070--to help stop the robberies, shootings, rapes, kidnapping, murders, and madness.
As Michelle Malkin has said: "They’re doing the job the feds won’t do — taking the law and our borders seriously to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens first."
This isn't about racism, or xenophobia, or "apartheid" or any of the other hysterical slanders the left has come up. This is about the safety and well-being of the citizens of the state. And its support was overwhelming--70% of Arizonans supported it; and bi-partisan--with 84% of Republicans and 51% of Democrats in favor.
WE STAND WITH ARIZONA. WE STAND AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE STAND AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S REFUSAL TO ADDRESS SECURING THE BORDERS OR ENFORCING LAWS AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. WE STAND AGAINST THE PLAN TO PROVIDE AMNESTY FOR THE 15-20 MILLION ILLEGALS IN THIS COUNTRY.
We support the magnificent state of Arizona, and will support its companies, its products, and its incomparable natural attractions. We oppose any attempt to boycott the good people of Arizona.
We call on the United States government to start doing its job according to the Constitution: Secure the Borders, Enforce the immigrations laws, Protect its citizens.
WE STAND WITH YOU ARIZONA!
BTTT
So, if Barak Obama goes to Phoenix, some policeman can get him, and if he can’t show his birth certificate they will ask him to go back to Kenya? Then I am for this law.
Why would Arizona even want a bunch of socialists to come? I wish they would boycott Tampa too. Keep em away.
0bama will paint this as a “fight” between good and evil.
I wouldn’t put it past him to send in the Feds (like they did in the South during the 60’s) to ensure that Minority Rights are maintained.
He wants to take everything and whip it into a frenzied crisis, that way its harder to see the wolf of Socialism and State Control beneath the fluffy sheep skin.
“Why would Arizona even want a bunch of socialists to come? I wish they would boycott Tampa too. Keep em away.”
Right. Idiots - boycotts and counter boycotts can move in both directions. There are still more patriots than radicals in this nation. Time to prove that out.
“0bama will paint this as a “fight” between good and evil.”
Which side is he on? Oh, nevermind...;)
Guess which one represents 0bama's Socialism and State Controlled Government?
All of his "NEW" policies, the hope and change stuff, are the kind & gentle sheep skin that people are intended to SEE.
While the SIEU's, CZAR's, Rahm's, etc as the true centerpiece of the plan.
LOL! Literally, laughed out loud. I don’t think the praetorian guard, ah secret service, would let anyone close enough to him to try that.
“0bama will paint this as a “fight” between good and evil....He wants to take everything and whip it into a frenzied crisis”
That’s exactly what libs do. They create some crisis caused by an some evil entity that only they can rush in and save us from.
Sign the petition and support Arizona bump!

ping!
It’s a great idea, but best I can tell, it exposes you to spam. Email is required.
We need something similar to the Online Tax Revolt. Their software could be mirrored to launch this movement.
A bigger battle is coming possibly stimulated by this. Obama is being called on (and will act on) his promise to hispanic caucus (for the final HR votes) to push amnesty this year(with 10% unemployment yet.) This of course would make the legals legally entitled to Obama-care/medicaid.
Yesterday MSNBC Ed Schulz said this (amnesty) “will change the politic landscape”, and “empower unions”.
The good side of this action is it will put republicans ‘on the record’ sooner rather than later on amnesty. Anyone special you would like to be put on the spot?
More threats...
Some truckers plan boycott over Arizona immigration law
[snip] Two or three times a week, truck driver Jesus Serrano hauls loads of Mexican-grown produce from warehouses in Nogales, Ariz., which is just across the U.S.-Mexico border, to distribution centers in Los Angeles.
Serrano plans to stop making the trip now that Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a stringent anti-illegal immigration bill into law, however, and he’s recruited other truckers to join him.
“We’re Hispanic; we’re Mexican. We’ve been saying, ‘Are we going to be getting stopped on our way to the store when we’re walking to get lunch somewhere?’ “ Serrano said.
About 40 percent of the Mexican-grown produce that’s consumed in North America comes through Nogales, according to Amy Adams, a spokeswoman with the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas. Serrano said that a revolt among independent truckers would create backlogs in moving that produce out of Nogales warehouses.
However, Collin Stewart, the chairman of the Arizona Trucking Association, hadn’t heard of the boycott plans and said he wouldn’t expect what he described as a “CB radio revolt” by independent owner-operators to affect distribution significantly.
