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:

  1. I have just done all of the things that you suggested. I made phone calls and sent emails to the politicians and corporations you have listed. You might also want to mention on your website that there will be a huge rally on June 12 in Phoenix, AZ. Several different organizations have banded together for this rally. ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration, USANumbers, 9-11 Families for Secure Borders, and many more. We need to get the word out to everyone so it will be a huge event. For more info got to http://www.againstamnesty.com.
