San Diego tourism leaders and hoteliers fear they could lose a sizable chunk of business this summer from valued “Zonies” who are so angered by elected leaders’ recent censure of Arizona for its illegal-immigration law that they’re mounting an informal boycott of their own.

The San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau and several hotels report receiving e-mails and letters from Arizona visitors saying they intend to change their plans to travel here in light of local outcry over their home state’s anti-illegal-immigration stance.

Almost all the reds are great with many of the same house/family names you would find in France. The whites are not bad. I looked at some last week and all the names have changed in the last couple of years since I bought a bunch, so have no specifics now. I do intend to regain my knowledge of them so ask again at the end of the summer!

Oh Please no one misunderstood their boycott. If you allow your city to pass this then you are part of it too and should not be surprised about this. I have a feeling that they will lose more than just these! If I were planning a convention and supported their stance on illegal immigration I’d avoid CA and go to AZ instead.

The hypocrites in LA will go to Phoenix for the playoffs but if they really believe in their “cause” they would not go.

>>Could you boycott Starbucks next?<<

I live and work next to Seattle. My wife and I are huge fans of Market Spice tea. The only place to get it is the Market Spice store in the Pike place market downtown. We actually buy it for our friends in Chicago, South Dakota, Kentucky and Carlsbad California.

Seattle just voted unanimously to boycott Arizona. We’re boycotting the tea. Oh, and I’m boycotting Starbucks, seriously now. As John Adams said, the founding fathers, in fighting England, gave up their COMFORT. That is what keeps americans passive: They don’t fight back because they don’t want to lose all the “stuff”. Well, we’re trying to give up our “comfort” at every turn now.

In fact, we are avoiding the city completely, except we will use their “free” services as much as possible.

Yesterday we found a spiced tea that we actually enjoy almost as much as Market Spice. In fact, it’s a bit milder. We may just switch to it permanently.

I don’t drink wine so I’ve never tasted them, but there is actually an Arizona Wine Country.
