May I suggest this wording:
“Dear Arizona friends,
We understand and share your outrage over the City Council’s participation in the widespread effort to strangle business in your state. We are not part of this, however. We are a free enterprise business while the boycott is the work of the communist occupation authorities (aka “liberal officials”) and their lackeys in the ministry of propaganda (aka “mainstream media”). We urge you to re-consider your position and support the remaining entrepreneurs who attempt to make a living under the weight of this occupation.”
That’s good.
Especially: ‘communist occupation authorities’.
