Laura just announced a reverse boycott for Arizona. She'll be listing Arizona companies on her website and encourages us to send them some business. Go Daddy, Cold Stone Creamery, PING golf, were just a few mentioned.
Look on her website for more....it's just announced moments ago and not there yet.
Great idea, and thanks. It actually could send a very strong message. And we'll be adding companies on this thread as soon as we determine who distributes nationally. Feel free to add your own. Pet Smart...
We should start a nationwide boycott of Gay Frisco to pay them back for Pelosi/OHAHA care, other insults to our country and now their race baiting of the citizens of Arizona.
"No sooner had House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, carrying the gavel used when MediCare was enacted, taken a victory lap around the Capitol Building after passage of the health care bill than did the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration report that his part of the social safety net had a big hole in it and would run a deficit for all of 2010.
Pictured below is Pelosi with that oversized MediCare gavel:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other grinning rat hyenas took a muted victory lap today after the historic House vote on health care reform. In the meantime we can boycott gay Frisco, since they keep Pelosi in congress:
We will never be able to defeat Pelosi, the Mafafi witch, due to the love affair between her and the gay agenda pushers/voters in Gay Frisco.
However, Gay Frisco can be brought to its financial knees.
Gay Frisco is having a severe economic meltdown due to the benefits for union thugs and illegals.
If every American Adult, who dislikes the Health Care farce pushed on us by Pelosi, boycotted San Francisco re visits, meetings and products, we can make that liberal gay hell hole a miserable place to live and try to work in.
Boycott Ghiradelli Chocolates!
Boycott Trans America Financial Products:
Boycott Charles Schwab Financial Services/Products, 211 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94105
Boycott Gap Products/companies: Levi Strauss/Dockers Gap Inc./Outlet , Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy
Boycott Williams-Sonoma | Headquarters 3250 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA, 94109 Williams-Sonoma is the premier retailer of premium cookware and accessories in the United States.
Sorry, THAT is asking just too much.
Good idea.

Yeah, their HQ iis in NH, but this stuff is made in AZ.
Just re-upped all of my domains at godaddy. I’d have to do it sometime so not much of a sacrifice, but maybe the timing will help in the numbers reported.
I have gone to Laura’s website. But, I can’t find a link to a list. Could someone help me on that ? Also, could we compile one succinct list on Freepers? I wouldn’t know how. But, it would be great.
Three Cheers for Arizona
Mrs. Esopman
In the same vein I was gonna start a protest where 300,000 conservatives move to Nancy Pelosi’s district in time to vote, but now I think we should move to Pancho Villas’ district in Arizona and vote his racist azz back to old Mexico.
American Spirit Arms in Phoenix makes a great AR-15. I own one and am very happy with it. Great quality, great price, great service.
Great thread. Bump it so I can find it later.
Looking for a vaction this summer:
1. Grand Canyon National Park - The Grand Canyon speaks for itself; this is Arizona’s pride and joy. The Grand Canyon is located in the northwest part of the state. Carved out by the Colorado River over millions of years. One of America’s natural wonders and first National Parks, its one thing you must see during your lifetime; it’s also one of the Seven Wonders of the World. River rafting, hiking and the skywalk on the West Rim are good starters...just to name a few. While in the Grand Canyon area, be sure to check out the Reindeer Farm west of Flagstaff.
2. Hoover Dam - A lot more than just a big stack of concrete, the mere size of Hoover Dam is awe-inspiring. Constructed in the 1930’s, Hoover Dam is located in northwest Arizona sharing a border with Nevada. Named after former president Herbert Hoover, Hoover Dam was one of the biggest projects of it’s time. During your visit to Hoover Dam make sure that you visit Lake Mead.
3. Sedona AZ- Located south of Flagstaff, in Red Rock country, is another one of Arizona’s not so best kept secrets. Sedona is home to some of Arizona’s and Hollywood’s elite; Sharon Stone and Al Pacino have homes in Sedona, so does John Travolta. Sedona also has some of the most beautiful sunsets and scenic drives in the country. Numerous hiking and biking trails dominate the colorful red rock sandstone landscape. Must-sees when you travel to Sedona include the Solid Rock church and Slide Rock Park. Kill an entire day sliding down natural rock formations. While in the Sedona area make sure that you check out Jerome and Prescott as well.
4. Monument Valley Park - Located in the northeastern part of the state, Monument Valley is famous for the legendary battles between the Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote (Warner Brothers cartoons), and the popular desert scene in National Lampoon’s ‘Vacation’ movies. Dominated by colorful plateaus and mesas, in some respects Monument valley is the face of the Southwest. The most popular landmarks of Monument Valley are located on the Navaho Tribal Park on the Utah border. While in the area, make sure that you check out the Utah side of Monument Valley.
5. Lake Havasu, AZ - Lake Havasu City is home of the London Bridge. Brought over from England in the 1960’s, the London Bridge put Lake Havasu on the map. The English Village surrounding the bridge, and is just one of the oddities you’ll find in this desert paradise. Water sports, lake tours, off road driving, spring break and enjoying sunsets, to name a few, are very popular in this desert oasis. While in Lake Havasu City make sure that you check out Parker Dam, which is located about 30 miles south.
6. Lake Powell Arizona- Lake Powell is a manmade reservoir located in northern Arizona, sharing a border with Utah. Made famous for its “bath tub” ring around the lake and its beautiful moon-like landscape, canyons, and towering rock formations. Here, you will find that camping and renting a houseboat are also tourist favorites. Rent a houseboat and get lost beneath the stars while at Lake Powell Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
7. Havasupai Falls - Havasupai Falls one of the most scenic travel locations in Arizona, period. Located deep in the Grand Canyon, there are four sets of falls: Mooney Falls, Havasu Falls, Navajo Falls and Beaver Falls. The blue-green water caused by high mineral content turns the falls and its natural pools into a tropical lagoon-style setting. Most of us will need to hike to get there, although helicopter rides are available.
8. Painted Desert - Located near the south rim of the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert’s precedes its name. Its multicolored landscape is breathtaking. Viewing the Painted Desert at sunrise is a must. The Painted Desert sits between the Grand Canyon and the Petrified Forest, so make sure to hit all three during your travels. Meteor Crater is also a must-see.
9. Tombstone, AZ - Dubbed “The town too tough to die,” Tombstone is the most notorious of the old mining towns from the Wild West. Made famous from the fight at the OK Corral, along with some of its legendary residents, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holladay, Tombstone’s story has been told in numerous books and movies. While in Tombstone, do yourself a favor and visit Saguaro National Park.
10. Oatman, AZ- Another old mining town that rarely gets the recognition that it deserves is Oatman, Arizona. Located south of Bullhead City, Arizona, lies this old mining town. Its current population is roughly 100. This quaint town consists of only novelty shops that cater to tourists. But its main attraction is the donkeys that wonder the streets and the popular gunfight shows. Most of the stores sell carrots to feed to the donkeys, which have no problem eating them from right from your hands. If you have kids and want to experience a taste of the old west, Oatman is a must-see.
Great list! Don’t forget...
Jerome - old mining town built crazily on a hillside. Now more of a tourist area, the Haunted Hamburger is GOOD eats!
Montezuma Castle, Montezuma Well, Tuzigoot, Tonto Natural Bridge (if open), Meteor Crater (private - pictures do this no justice. It is breath-taking in person!) and myriad other Native American ruins or natural formations. You could spend days driving to and hiking these many smaller attractions.
Oh, I forgot Canyon de Chelly (pronounced “de Shay”) in the north-east corner at Chinle. An amazing canyon with Anisazi ruins throughout. The “White Castle” ruins area has a hiking path into the canyon (700 ft vertical) that is a wonderful way to get in at no cost. Worth a visit!!!
Great list. Thank you.
