Sanctuary city San Francisco is leading the charge in pressing municipalities and groups to consider a boycott of Arizona over its law that will allow police to ask people their immigration status.
Mayor Gavin Newsom this week suspended all non-essential travel for city employees going to Arizona, meaning no conference in Scottsdale next weekend for members of the city's housing authorities. The city's Board of Supervisors also has taken the first step toward an economic boycott, a move that could result in the suspension of existing contracts with Arizona-based companies and a ban on new ones.

The illegals need to go, I find it funny that the people suggesting boycotts do not realize it is illegals who will lose jobs. I love it:) Boycott on, and bring in Rev Al.

Hopefully, the Klowns at the 9th Circus will join in the SF Fag "boycott" and refuse to hear any cases involving Arizona.
I can dream, can't I?

I agree with the California boycott. That means all movies, all music (if you guys can’t get rid of movies and music all together, limit what you buy), sports teams, actually going to California, the California cows, and anything else that comes from California. We need a list of companies and products that come out of California.

I agree.
As much as I love my state the damage done to her by the left, R/CINOS and the criminal invasion from Mexico seems almost irreversible at this point.
I can’t afford to leave but even if I could I’d rather stay and try to fight the good fight.
This is still my home....pray for us, we need it!

Yep. Will be buying three Ruger 380s for each of the family members. Good work Obama and the astroturf occupation. We needed concealed carry for the family and what better way than to stimulate the Prescott economy!

The Giants are scheduled to play the Diamondbacks in Phoenix on May 19 and 20. They can honor the boycott by staying home and forfeiting the games. Let’s see if they go that far.

Hey, it's fine, we don't want them here anyway. The whole place is on the verge of bankruptcy anyway and we really don't want to be paid in IOUs.

I double-dog dare Los Angeles to boycott us. If they do, we will just cut off all their Colorado River water.

Laura Ingraham said she was going to get a list of places in AZ to show our support through. I havent looked for it yet (being low on funds) but good place to go to when she pulls it together.

First off, I love Laura! My morning isn’t complete without her commentary! I love her take no prisoners attitude!
I know what you mean about funds. We can only do what we can do :)
I buy a lot of stuff online. I’m going to check on AZ online stores in which to buy some products!
I think this little stunt will backfire on these Statists!

I'm thinking the easiest and fastest would be to transfer accounts from Schwab to local banks offering brokerage services or Vanguard. ALL of the accounts.. and after, tell them why. AFTER the funds have cleared tell them why.
The Gap/Levis/ Chocolate and tourism takes awhile but a run on schwab would be noticed and CAN'T be hidden.

You weren't expecting them to think of something that could actually stimulate the economy, were you?No.

Oh yes, by all means boycott Charles Schwab. I have a cousin by marriage that's a foaming at the mouth uber lib commie that's employed by them. Her father is a retired BP engineer that's a freaking limousine liberal ex-pat from England. They've got money leaking out their pores and wonder why I'm such a heartless fiscal conservative. Duh, because I pay 40% of my gross income to government you freaking morons!

If they think the American people are going to turn against Arizona here it shows how disconnected some are from reality.
