City of San Francisco officials and the liberalazzi brigade are loving up their new deck of race cards. They are marching and huffing in the media that the nation needs to boycott anything from and to the state of Arizona to show politically-correct displeasure with the new Arizona immigration law.

Nationwide, the Rasmussen Poll reports most Americans stand with the governor of Arizona and with the people of Arizona.
60% of those polled by Rasmussen are in favor of police being able to stop and verify immigration status.
In Arizona, Rasmussen finds 70% of Arizonans polled are in favor of the new law, and a whopping 83% say the immigration law will be a deciding factor in how they vote this fall.

Arizona Chamber of Commerce Directory. Surely you can drill in here, find some businesses in Arizona and buy something from them online. Or better yet, call them to order, and tell them you are buying something today to show support for the state.
Sports columnist Dave Zirin says he won’t write anymore about the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team until the law is changed. Here is Zirin’s email: dave@edgeofsports.com. Pfft!
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has put a petition on her campaign website asking for all those who support her position on immigration to sign. Show Jan some love.
Visit her page, by the way, where Governor Brewer did away with political correctness in her state and brought back “Christmas trees” and “Hanukkah menorahs” in state displays to replace the “holiday trees” and “candlesticks.” I love this woman.
Here is the Arizona Diamondbacks’ website. Here’s their message board. Leave them a love-gram. Here’s the place to buy a team souvenir.

All that good travel, scenic, tourist stuff and even home decor, clothes and food!
Or maybe something that says Arizona on it from the University of Arizona? http://www.uofabookstores.com/uaz/WildcatGear/Apparel.asp
Just because the mayor is an idiot doesn’t mean that the folks who live here are. :-)
One of my favorite children’s book authors lives in Phoenix. (last I read on one of her books) Barbara Park, author of the Junie B Jones books, is wonderful. Plus, she’s a U of A grad. That would be the University of Alabama! Roll Tide! Of course, I have no idea what her political views are. lol
Great post. Thank you for this!
DONE!
I also sent an email and told them I was participating in the “AZ ANTI-BOYCOTT” in favor of their gov’t willingness to fight crime.

Insight Computers is in Tempe, Arizona. They located there because of low outbound shipping rates (lots of trucks bringing stuff in, and leaving empty). They thought of moving but this was such a great advantage they’ve just stayed there.

For the ladies (or guys looking for a Mother’s Day gift)– I found Queen of the Night products through Arizona Highways magazine two years ago. The scent is named for a desert cactus that blooms only one night a year.
I can definitely say that the quality of the products is high; have reordered several times. They make great gifts, too. From the website: “Those who wear the women’s perfume often also love the lingering essence of our scented candle in their home. This makes it an especially popular choice for Southwest gifts and Arizona souvenirs.”
Also Sabaku Nature Art clothing. The name is Japanese but the garments are designed by Nancy Lenches, a Tucson field biologist turned artist. All of the garments are made in USA, not in China. I’ve worn the shirts for six years and just love them. The business is a small one run by Nancy and her husband.

The Volks-Ware company itself, which began as a woman-run business offering hiking gear and other sturdy outdoor stuff for women (back in the days when the quality stuff was all sized for guys), is also based in Surprise, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix. (Guys– they also carry unisex items and have some great online sales. Enjoy!)

Well, this is a shame. When I saw this post, I was reminded of some deliciously spicy pistachios my parents got as a Christmas gift this year. When I checked out their web site, I was disappointed to see they are from New Mexico, but they are good none the less. Let’s keep them on our list in case New Mexico wakes up also and passes similar legislation.

Shamelessly stolen from HillBuzz’s website posts. They are advocating an Arizona BUYcott!
Stand With , and Against Illegal Immigration
they have comprehensive information, company lists (under "Discussions" and about 30,000 other people to chat with.
I LOVE Arizona anyway!!!! Now I have one more reason to love her!
“AriZona Tea” is a trademark that has NOTHING to do with the great State of Arizona. At least some time ago, REAL desert-dwelling Southwesterners made their own unsweetened iced tea using tea bags, boiling water, and ice. If they wanted it sweet, they added sugar. That’s the normal way to make iced tea, anyway.
“AriZona Tea” is an abomination that is full of high-fructose corn syrup. It helps ruin your health, and it disses the State of Arizona. Don’t buy it—buy some wonderful Arizona dates or citrus instead, or subscribe to Arizona Highways.

Perhaps y’all can plan a family vacation to Arizona. It’s hot in May, but the cactus flowers bloom then. Everyone should see the cacti in bloom in Southern Arizona at least once in their life. The same goes for the Grand Canyon.
I propose an Anti-Boycotters Boycott.
Send e-mails to Gavin Newson, Mayor of San Fransisco, and anyone else who suggests boycotting AZ. Tell them you are urging all your friends and relatives to boycott states like CA that prefer supporting the rights of illegal aliens to those of legal immigrants and American citizens.
CLOCK DOCTOR for people who like clocks. (And music boxes, both sales and repair)
I hope people who do the travel thing will TOUR ARIZONA.
I HOPE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH HAVE CONVENTIONS will book the Arizona convention centers.
....the liberalazzi brigade..
That’s the liberalNazi brigade, really, especially in the age of obama!!!!
Perhaps this Nazi anti-Arizona jihad will SINK not only “immigration reform”, but the entire obama Administration and the Democrap Party!
Planning a trip there real soon.
In support of Arizona and their Gov, My wife and I will be spending a week of our vacation in their state.
28 days ago we bought our very first Airstream trailer and I can’t think of a better cause to get behind for the moment... it should also be a good test for the air-conditioner. ;>)
The Santa Cruz Chile Factory in Tumacacori, prepares and offers great local spices, and has chili condiments that are sold throughout the United States.
The Old Presidio Traders in Tubac, offers some of the best Navajo rug bargains in the West, plus spectacular bargains in authentic and trade turquoise.
======================================
Arizonans should act now. Arizona public officials who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce the new immigration law----are using public funds to aid and abet felonies against Arizona (and other US citizens).
===========================================
FOR EXAMPLE (1) Investors in Arizona tax-exempt bonds may have been misled about the use of their investments. (2) Arizona officials who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce new immigration law may have jeopardized investments in Arizona tax-exempt bonds
===================================
ACTION Do the research on timelines when Arizona legislators voted for the sale of billions of tax-exempt bonds to finance law enforcement, schools, highways, water facilities, municipal and county grants, etc, etc, etc. These bonds were then sold to tax-exempt investors.
Sometimes bond sales are voted upon---in state ballot referenda. Arizona public officials may have may have mis-stated uses of tax-exempt bonds on referenda ballots.
If immigrants illegals voted on tax-exempt bond issues, that could negate the bond revenue and subject the illegals to prosecution
MISLEADING BOND INVESTORS IS A SERIOUS CRIME Investors in Arizona tax-exempt bonds were clearly misled about the use of tax-exempt bond revenue. The SEC closely monitors tax-exempt bond sales. The SEC takes a dim view about misleading tax-exempt investors and the misuse of tax-exempt bond revenue. So does the IRS.
===================================
HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
(1) Express your concerns about Arizona officials who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce the new immigration law; this is a misappropriation of tax-exempt bond revenue.
EMAIL enforcement@SEC.gov.
(2) Contact the IRS to report suspected tax fraud and tax law violations by officials using tax-exempt bond revenue in ways not disclosed to investors.
IRS TOLL-FREE Tel 1-800-829-0433 You may remain anonymous.
(3) Arizona officials who challenge the will of the people----that won’t enforce new immigration law have co-opted investors in tax-exempt bonds; they should be reported for fiduciary negligence.
EMAIL askDOJ@USDOJ.gov
=====================================
Demand that banks holding Arizona tax-exempt bond revenue conduct an outside audit immediately and reveal their findings (or you will report banks to state and federal regulators).
Bond sales that were put to referendum are subject to penalties, since voters were misled about the uses of bond revenue.
The Arizona Secy of State should be asked to release all official documents filed WRT tax-exempt bond issues.
