…before you you signed that outrageous, racist, unconstitutional bill into law?
A spreading call for an economic boycott of Arizona after its adoption of a tough immigration law that opponents consider racially discriminatory worried business leaders on Monday and angered the governor…. Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, signed the bill on Friday, calling it an important step toward public safety that would help control immigration and give the police a tool to root out criminals. She criticized opponents for not offering more solutions to problems related to illegal immigration and called the idea of a boycott “disappointing and unfortunate” at a time when the state is reeling from the recession and suffering from border-related crime that “continues to harm our economy and stifle trade.”
It’s a little late to go asking folks for “solutions” now that the law is signed, Gov. Brewer. And while its sad that you’re still reeling from the recession down there and all, no one is obligated to spend money in your hot little shithole of a state.

Fuck yeah! So glad the boycott threat is having this effect.
But where will we put all our elderly racists if Arizona goes bankrupt?
Florida?
I agree, so how about listing some AZ business’s to boycott instead of just flapping your digits. Here’s a start: taken from a posting from the Arizona Chamber of Commerce for the 2010 Manufacturer of the Year Summit and Awards Luncheon to be held May 5, 2010 and attended by Governor Brewer. Manufacturer of the Year – Frito-Lay North America. http://www.azchamber.com/events/view_event…
So put down those Cheetos and Sun Chips and eat a Washington Apple.
This too; I’m imagining each and every white person behind this bill has Hispanic house staff. What will happen when they all have to go to…Nevada, say?
Nice, alainb1. I’m in.
This might be harder than it looks for Portlanders… according to wikipedia, Buffalo Exchange is based in Arizona.
Then again, so is Taser International, the company that makes most of the tasers police use.

People in Portland don’t shop at Buffalo Exchange. Those are BeaverTronians and Vantuckians shopping in there.
How dare someone suggest that most illegal immigrants in Arizona are hispanic?
Hey, um, just the tiniest bit of Internet research tells me that Frito-Lay North America is actually based in Plano, Texas. Not Arizona. Just saying. Also not from Arizona? That’s right, Arizona brand ice tea.
Uh Jackattak-I shop at Buffalo Exchange and so do all of my friends. And we all live in Portland! And when considering a boycott of all things Arizona, I would think that Beaverton and Vantucky folks might make useful allies. Not too productive, this alienating people you think live too far away to matter.
How often do you get out of downtown?
Must be pretty embarassing to be a thinking person in Arizona right now. Ha-it will be fun to watch the state bankrupt itself spending jillions for the inevitable court cases that are coming.
Also, boycott efforts around tourism might be useful. My guess is that Grand Canyon tourism brings in hella bucks. U.S. Airways HQ is in Tempe; America West and Southwest have hubs in Phoenix.
@ Pork Chop – it was satire!
@ JA – yikes sorry! Let’s get back to ripping on people from Arizona! Hmm-who’s from Arizona- other than McCain and that nutbag sheriff?
Also aren’t the Blazers are playing a team from Arizona here tomorrow? Curious if anyone is planning to boycott the game?
Well I was thinking we’d just boycott the Suns, making them forfeit rather than trounce us by fifty-gajillion points again. ๐
I’m about to drive cross country, and changed my route to avoid arizona. I would probably have only bought a tank of gas or two but now I’ll be buying it elsewhere… Here’s hoping my fill up in new mexico gets me to the other side of Utah.
Please note Buffalo Exchange is NOT in favor of Arizona immigration bill SB 1070. See:
