Yet another municipality seduced by stupid. SEATTLE is TODAY considering a boycott against Arizona (video report HERE). I guess they didn't get the memo from San Diego, crying uncle. Let Seattle's city council and Chamber of Commerce know how such a resolution would affect YOUR purchasing decisions for travel to Seattle and with Seattle-based companies...

I heard from a friend who lives in Tacoma that the city of Tacoma is considering the same thing.

You know how all this bullsh— could have been avoided?

If more than one state and one governor acted on this immigration law...

In the future we need to work TOGETHER as individuals and states interested in freedom. We MUST begin to discuss these issues among our selves at the state government levels and working with other like minded states develop strategies for moving the cause forward. One state and one governor gives the marxists someone to isolate, freeze, yada yada... But a group of states all enacting the exact same laws at the same time become immune to that tactic.

It is time to form a union of free minded states that will work together to free themselves and their citizens from the tyrannical grip of socialism and the idiocy of the left in general. We need to DEMAND that “conservative” states form a new continental congress where the foundation of freedom can be rebuilt and then methods of achieving freedom can be debated and enacted.

This needs to happen NOW!

Atención ALL Illegal Aliens currently hiding in Arizona ...

Here is the most efficient route to Seattle which welcomes you with open arms:


Please head either NORTH or SOUTH (preferably) before you
are rounded up like the CRIMINALS you are!

Arizona might want to reconsider its law. It might be better to allow or even help Illegals across the border provided they move through Arizona to one of the cities or states that oppose the current law. They must have enough money with them for a buss ticket out of the state. Arizona could provide information to these people on how to apply for welfare once they reach their finial destination. Then the Governor could parole all of the gang members, that are not murders of innocents, provided they will move to one of these cities. If they are ever caught back in Arizona their parole would be revoked and sent back to prison. Then announce that the Arizona law enforcement will not stop drug runners as long as they move the drugs through the state non–stop, if they get caught by the Feds it is their problem. The State may even come up with an import or transit fee of some type and make a little money.

I was going to say to start drinking Arizona Iced Tea in lieu of Starbucks coffee...but I just found out that Arizona is based in NY.

Weak.

All this controversy made my wife and I think - why don’t we go to the Grand Canyon next school vacation? Our kids have never seen it, and it is just amazing.

This talk of boycotts gave me the idea!

If a liberal hell-hole like Seattle is pitching a fit, you KNOW that Arizona is 100% on-track with their law.

BUMP!

That has tourism officials urging Arizonans to consider the resolutions as merely symbolic and local politics at work.Like their city government considered SB1070 as symbolic and local politics at work and none of their business?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe they should have kept their noses out of Arizona’s business.

When we fly in we either do Louisville or Nashville. Both are great towns. We’re about 2.25 hours from Nashville and 1.25 hours from Louisville. We’re really working HARD to get to our place permanently (working on telecommuting or per diem work). We’re driving out to our place in lat June in a U-haul truck with everything that we can’t live without in Seattle. In Seattle we will put the mattress and box springs on the floor, leave the TV and stereo (take with us on the final drive) and any furniture we leave in the apartment will be either sold on Craigslist or donated. We are at the wire now.
