West Hollywood votes to approve Arizona boycott
 
Hollywood. Check.

I wish there was a list where we could see all of the cities that have boycotted as well as all the industries and stuff.

All of these votes by city councils have been way unanimous. Almost nobody is voting against them.

How about calling your city council? LA, DC, and New York especially since they are thinking about boycotting.

-----------------------------

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The West Hollywood City Council has approved a resolution to boycott Arizona in response to the state's law attempting to combat illegal immigration.

The council voted 5-0 Monday night to approve the boycott. Fox11 reports the action immediately suspends official travel to Arizona and calls for developing official sanctions.


Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a House bill into law Friday which specifically answers "legal questions raised by some who expressed fears that the original law would somehow allow or lead to racial profiling."

When Brewer signed the Senate bill into law last month she said she "will not tolerate racial discrimination in Arizona."

Eveyone is investing so much effort, publicity and resources into boycotting AZ when the AZ law is an issue mostly because CIR hasn't passed. CIR should be the goal - and then the racists in AZ and elsewhere will be even easier to challenge for their unconstitutional efforts at racial profiling.

^ I fully heartily agree but at this point, I take whatever I can get.

This is my city. Even though we live here, a lot of people come from different countries so they understand what a pathetic excuse this is instead of getting CIR done.
