American patriots will kickoff the National Arizona BUYcott at the conference this weekend.
Patriots Launch a National Campaign in Solidarity with Arizona Calling for a BUYcott of the Grand Canyon State
UPDATE: Buycott organizers will have an update Saturday, at the “Winning America Back” conference in Kansas City, MO – Featured speakers include Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson.
Dateline: Phoenix, AZ: While protestors have launched a sit in calling on the Governor to veto the bill launching the Country’s first major state enforcement efforts on illegal immigration, protesters like Al Sharpton are asking for a Boycott of the State.
In response, Patriot groups around the country want to support the rights of the people of Arizona and are calling for a BUYcott of the State.The first BUYcott was in support of Whole Foods and was launched on September 1, 2009 by Tea Party leaders in St. Louis, Dallas, Austin, California, Philadelphia, New Jersey and more. The events drew serious national attention as one St. Louis store had BUYcott-attributable sales totaling over $50,000 in one night. Next, they BUYcotted Ford Motor Company, and Ford stocks have done well. Now conservatives around the country are standing up for Arizona.
Calls for the BUYcott began the moment the Arizona protesters called for a Boycott of Arizona, with conservative groups were saying, ‘let’s join forces and make our voices heard for Arizona!’ So that is exactly what they are all joining together to do.
Some Arizona business facts:
The state’s leading export category is computers and electronic products, which alone accounted for nearly one-third (31 percent), or $4.3 billion, of Arizona’s total merchandise exports in 2009. Other top manufactured exports that year were transportation equipment ($2.5 billion); machinery manufactures ($1.3 billion); and fabricated metal products ($954 million).
Source: Revised Origin of Movement State Export Series, Bureau of the Census, Foreign Trade Division.
Rasmussen reported that 60% of Americans support the new law in Arizona.
Groups and businesses listed below are asking that decision makers purchase exports coming out of Arizona, corporations plan their meetings there, and that families intentionally vacation there this summer when possible:

Tea Party Youth (TeaPartyYouth.com)…and the list is growing fast!
More than 70 cities are hosting rallies THIS WEEKEND!
“There are many ways for real people to support the BUYcott” said Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit. “If my family has a vacation this year, I am thinking the Grand Canyon, where I worked as a youth, might just be the perfect getaway. The national parks in Arizona are spectacular, too.”
“Tony Katz, host of The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular, has created the Buy Arizona! Initiative, and is offering free advertising on his daily radio show to support Arizona businesses.”
Brooks Bayne of the LA Tea Party said “no matter how you feel about the issue, it is ridiculous to punish business owners with a Boycott.” Naturally, there are already BUYcott efforts on Facebook (Arizona Buycott) and Twitter (@ArizonaBUYcott). Brian Gansereit has arranged for Arizona shoppers to have free shipping on his site and he hopes others will do the same.
“We see this as a statement about State’s rights, about freedom, and the right of people in one State to take action to protect their way of life as they see fit. We are proud to stand with Arizona and to support them with a BUYcott!”
Organizers are asking all participating patriot groups to email their receipts of Arizona expenditures to gina@stlouisteaparty.com so that we have quantitative data on our impact in this battle. There is also a Facebook Page and a twitter account @ArizonaBUYcott. Final note: The Motto of Arizona: is Ditat Deus; “God Enriches”.

JoseyWales commented:
I was just thinking to myself today that conservatives should get together and do a Buy-cott for Arizona. I guess great minds think alike.
As a former Arizona resident, trust me when I say this… the native residents of Arizona could care less if the Californians and other assorted fruits and nuts boycott Arizona. In fact they would prefer it. People fleeing Commie-fornias high taxes would come in and buy up all the houses and property, driving up the prices to the point where locals were priced out of the market.
If liberals want to destroy their state by endless taxes, endless gov’t “freebies” while driving out the very businesses and residents needed to pay for them, then good luck with that plan. Destroy your state if you want, but leave mine alone.

Please try to post tiny private Arizona businesses that any of us can order something from online from all over the USA!
I will do my small part and order something, start Christmas shopping early this year!
Many of us stand with Arizona and believe in what the state is doing to protect its citizens. From one true American from another, “BUYcott Arizona!”

I like the lefties that are BUYcotting Arizona Tea — its origins and corp. is in New York. Obama is so mad he is BUYCotting ice cubes, because they come from state 68, in the Antarctic , where is knows many immigrants live.

Jim–
I have some questions about this whole area, which is so volatile; and I don’t want confusion and reaction to reign, especially when America is in such a moment.
You are well aware that many Hispanics would tend very naturally to a robust conservatism. I recall a situation some years ago, in New York, where there was an effort to radicalize the public school curriculum in various ways. It went down in flames, in large part because of the overwhelmingly negative reaction–largely from immigrant Americans.
Are there not people of Hispanic descent who themselves are deeply concerned about the protocols of immigration? I don’t know that Latins, by and large, would affirm illegal immigration just because there are many Spanish speaking illegals. However, obviously there is a cultural connection, and proximity–along with many other reasons–has resulted in this quandary.
My own wife is not an illegal immigrant herself–although her father was actually a stowaway in the time of WWII. He was Filipino, and he hid on an American ship in order to get from the Philippines to the States. Interestingly, that would be illegal… However, he ended up in the American army, and spent much of his military career in Alaska, where he and his Filipina/Spanish wife had a huge family.
Is there not some way where “come, let us reason together” can prevail–where a wise and and insightful dialog can happen in the conservative movement–including the many intelligent Hispanic conservatives–in order to address the concerns of illegal immigration without it turning into a racially alienating nightmare?
I sent Gov. Palin a letter about this–and of course, she herself has close relatives who are members of “visible minorities”: her husband and her little son (I work with people with disabilities).
What say ye?
Just some thoughts. Many thanks.

Black Voters Taking one for the Team?
Compare:
The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in March, but the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7 percent, according to new figures released by the Labor Department Friday.
On the whole, the economic news was mixed, but for African Americans, it was particularly troubling. The unemployment rate for whites held steady at 8.8 percent compared to February and went down for Asians from 8.4 percent to 7.5 percent. But it rose to 16.5 percent for Blacks from 15.8 percent. Hispanics showed a slight increase as well from 12.4 percent to 12.6 percent.
On the other hand:
How Illegal Immigration Hurts Black America
With national unemployment hovering around 10 percent and black male unemployment at a staggering 17.6 percent, it’s just not true that undocumented workers are doing the jobs that we won’t do.
By: Cord Jefferson | Posted: February 10, 2010 at 6:36 AM
Here is the key paragraph:
Despite President Fox’s assertion, of the Pew Hispanic Center’s top six occupational sectors for undocumented immigrants (farming, maintenance, construction, food service, production and material moving), all six employed hundreds of thousands of blacks in 2008. That year, almost 15 percent of meat-processing workers were black, as were more than 18 percent of janitors. And although blacks on the whole aren’t involved in agriculture at anywhere near the rates of illegal immigrants—a quarter of whom work in farming—about 14 percent of fruit and vegetable sorters are African-American.
For their efforts, African Americans were paid a median household income of $32,000 in 2007. In the same year, the median household income for illegal immigrants was $37,000.

“come, let us reason together”
I tend to agree with most of your premise. Just close the border before discussing those issues in Washington. Once they start on amnesty there will be no change at the border. It happened with Reagan, and it will happen again.

Sarah Palin in Kansas City at this Saturday’s Winning Back America Conference? That’s strange, she’s scheduled and confirmed to be appearing at the Defending the American Dream Summit in Clarkston, Michigan this Saturday – http://midad2010.eventbrite.com/. I guess she’ll be able to attend both, since she’s probably going to be flying in some company’s private jet, no? Cha-ching! More power to her, though, after the deranged Left tried to destroy her in 2008 and after, up to the present day.
Patriotic commented:
As an Arizona resident, I would like to thank all of the people around the United States that are standing with us, and supporting Arizonans on what is right and “JUST” for our beloved United States.
What we are doing in Arizona is just a part of a team effort by conservative Americans, to save the United States of America, and to stop and reverse the insidious and radical Agenda of the Democrats and Progressives. This is not just about the State of Arizona.
What we are doing in Arizona is not racist. We are made up of and cherish the Hispanic Americans among us, and how they add to what is best about us as a whole. No other Country in the World would let Americans come in illegally by the millions, and put this kind of stress on its’ infrastructure, and then give us citizenship with Amnesty. It is not fair to the people around the World that are waiting in line legally, for their chance at American citizenship. The racism card is not going to work on the American people any longer.
What do we do? We do what every other Country in the World does in their best interest…we put our citizens jobs first, and worry about guest worker programs later. Besides…we already have a guest worker program called applying for a visa. When our economy can support guest workers in the United States, we allow a limited number of foreigners, with clean backgrounds, to work here with visas, for fixed time limits.
Frankly, we don’t agree with John McCain that illegal immigrants are only doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. Arizonans, and the rest of America ARE willing to work the tough jobs for lower pay if that’s what it takes to feed our families.
The best way to economically support Arizona, is to travel here and spend money.
Here is a quick list of companies that I know are based here in Arizona. (*note – I do not work for, nor am I associated with any of these companies).

“doing the jobs Americans won’t do”
This is one thing that President Bush kept saying that I disagreed with.
The jobs would be done for a price. Allowing illegal immigrants to come in and work for a lower wage than locals would has been an artificial influence on economics.
The fact is that it has probably been a drag on inflation. But the price has been an exploitation of labor, albeit willingly on their part, by large swaths of society.
In reality, continued mass immigration degrades the human rights of illegal immigrants and stains the honor and integrity of millions of Americans who utilize their labor and services. It also keeps millions more Americans out of work.
Robert commented:
Here’s a revealing comment for you.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, the Democrats’ leading advocate for immigration reform, has said he voted for health care reform on the understanding that Obama and congressional Democrats would move a major immigration bill.
Even though he would like to see Latinos turn out to vote for Democrats in 2010, Gutierrez said “many will probably decide to stay home.” However, he added, a strict, new immigration law in Arizona may change that dynamic. The law requires law enforcement officers to question anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.
“On one hand you are not going to vote because you don’t believe people you voted for are doing a good enough job,” Gutierrez said. “Then you say, ‘I got to vote, because the enemy is so mean and vindictive, I got to get out there.’”

I will certainly start shopping online from Arizona. My mothers day gift, birthdays, and anything I can buy I will buy it from that wonderful state that is standing strong against illegal invaders. I hope that Governor brewer stands firm and continues to enforce the law. This is not about Latinos its about respecting the law, and securing our borders.

May God bless all you wonderful people for supporting our great state of Arizona. I own a candy store in a small town in Arizona and we depend on tourists to keep our doors open, and with the boycott I am in fear of losing my little store. But after reading all these heart warming comments, I have renewed hope!! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, you are truly what America stands for.
