Join the Fight

You must act individual to succeed collectively. Failing to act let's others override your position by default.

Join the Rally on June 12th:

Support Arizona and SB 1070 Rally Event on June 12, 2010!


As the media and government officials posture to embrace illegal activity and try to coerce the people of Arizona, it's time to fight back.

This blog will begin to list all of those who have pledged to boycott Arizona for their stand against the illegal invasion of the Southwestern United States.

Will you counter-boycott the cities of politicians who boycott Arizona?

Will you take the time to send emails and phone calls to those defending criminal activity?

If so, you're in the right place...

__________________________________

For pro-boycott forces:

1. Read the bill here (AZ SENATE BILL 1070) if you think it's racist.

2. After you've educated yourself, join our counter-boycott by reading the four-step plan below.


Step #1 Read the Pledge

The pledge to take part in the counter-boycott is located at the following link:

COUNTER-BOYCOTT PLEDGE

(and List of Largest Employers in Arizona
)


Step #2: Plan your message

It is unconscionable for anyone, but especially for elected officials, to pander to any group that claims a right to violate the laws of the United States.

- It is most important to focus on contacting the elected "representatives" of the American People to register your disappointment with their choices.

-- When calling the elected officials ensure you tell them you plan on boycotting all companies based in their area...(for instance, Wells Fargo is based in San Francisco.)

-- Also, explain to them you will the spend money in Arizona that you would have spent on the products produced by the companies in their jurisdiction.

- When contacting companies, tell them you will boycott them until they or their city government publicly and loudly announces they have ceased boycotting Arizona.


Step #3 lists those who have decided to side with law-breaking over the State of Arizona, and how you may contact them.

Step #3: Those Who have Earned a Counter-Boycott

Here is a list of those confirmed to have enacted or called for a boycott of Arizona:

Some may ask why we should boycott local companies. Local companies provide campaign contributions to elected officials. Apply enough pressure to the contributors and the politicians listen.
