Now, assume you're one of those companies contemplating a business boycott of Arizona on the one hand, and what the Arizona Daily Star has summed up as "cheap labor and electricity, lower taxes, bargain real estate and scarce unions," on the other. Which sounds more appealing to you?

LOL, go ahead SF, shoot yourself in the other foot while you're at it.

Interestingly, San Francisco is already on the receiving end of a boycott that has resulted from it's Marxist anti American rhetoric and actions. This will only make it worse for SF and economically, the city has no hope of survival at present.

Any action they take to raise revenue will either result in an actual loss of those coveted dollars, or serious degradation in the ability of SF "public servants" to hold back the anarchy. It won't be long now.

Maybe Arizona should require passports from SanFranSicko residents?

I am consumed with envy : I won’t get to see the Grand Canyon for another 15-16 months. :-(

Yeah...’Buycott’ is a LOT better (pithier and wittier) than my ‘reverse boycott’...I wish I had coined that word! :-)

It boggles the mind that SF and CA in general is so concerned with this. Their budget problems are going to create a major crisis soon and this is what gets them motivated. Along with being able to get high off pot.

CA is truly full of nuts.

So if Liberal free-loaders boycott AZ and working conservatives seek out AZ for living and vacationing without illegals, my question is why hasn’t Texas done this yet?

Buy anything Intel, and then send a copy of your receipt to Intel Corp in California and tell them you bought it to support Arizona.

Come visit, Arizona has some of the best hospitality in the country. Cheap food, best restaurants, best hotels, lots to do and see.

Buy sports stuff from the Diamond Backs (Baseball), Cardinals (football), Suns (basketball), Coyotes (hockey). You can find them on the web and be sure to let them know why you are buying, even if it's only a hat or shirt.

Buy from the Heard Museum shop (all the indian made items you mention) again, be sure to mention why you are buying there.

I'm trying to think of things most people can afford to buy. I'll have to go and find some of the Arizona specialty products for you.

Ty for these ideas.

No need to research, I just searched “Arizona Products” and found tons of things I would like to get, many of which I shall get. “Goldwater Food baskets” looks like a must have!
:-)

I will certainly check the Heard Museum shop.

Thanks again.

Goldwater Food baskets are an absolute MUST. Really great stuff and it makes wonderful gifts. Any time I travel I take it along as as hostess gift. People go wild over it.

Conservatives will do an anti-boycott of Az. It’s the best of both worlds...illegals and leftists will avoid Arizona and conservatives will vacation here and buy our stuff.

What they need to worry about is the rest of the Country organizing a boycott of Sodom on the Bay because of idiotic ideas like this one...

Everyone of us can start a personal/family boycott of Gay Frisco, to pay them back for Pelosi/0HAHA health care and their love of illegals and hatred of legal Arizonians.

Neuter Pelosi, boycott Gay Frisco! Take that twisted grin off her face and hammer the lovers of illegals.

No sooner had House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, carrying the gavel used when MediCare was enacted, taken a victory lap around the Capitol Building after passage of the health care bill than did the chief actuary of the Social Security Administration report that his part of the social safety net had a big hole in it and would run a deficit for all of 2010.”

Pictured below is Pelosi with that oversized MediCare gavel:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other grinning rat hyenas took a muted victory lap today after the historic House vote on health care reform. In the meantime we can boycott gay Frisco, since they keep Pelosi in congress:

We will never be able to defeat Pelosi, the Mafafi witch, due to the love affair between her and the gay agenda pushers/voters in Gay Frisco.

However, Gay Frisco can be brought to its financial knees.

Gay Frisco is having a severe economic meltdown due to the benefits for union thugs and illegals.

If every American Adult, who dislikes the Health Care farce pushed on us by Pelosi, boycotted San Francisco re visits, meetings and products, we can make that liberal gay hell hole a miserable place to live and try to work in.

Boycott Ghiradelli Chocolates!

Boycott Trans America Financial Products:

Boycott Charles Schwab Financial Services/Products, 211 Main St, San Francisco, CA 94105

Boycott Gap Products/companies: Levi Strauss/Dockers Gap Inc./Outlet , Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy

Boycott Williams-Sonoma | Headquarters 3250 Van Ness Ave., San Francisco, CA, 94109 Williams-Sonoma is the premier retailer of premium cookware and accessories in the United States.

Excellent suggestions.

Gay SickoFrisco is dying economically.

Your suggestion would be an economic kick in their maggot riddent testicles.

What are the main business headquartered in san Francisco? I haven’t been back to San Francisco since I was given a free conference in 1986. I can choose not to give money to san Fran easily.

I pulled my scwab account and recommend others do the same, letting them know why after the funds were transfered to Texas.
