S.F. Board of Supervisors call for Arizona boycott

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors took a symbolic jab at Arizona Tuesday for passing a controversial law last month that gives law enforcement authorities in the Grand Canyon State broad powers to check a person's immigration status.

Critics fear the law will lead to racial profiling.

San Francisco supervisors, on a 10-1 vote, approved a nonbinding resolution that calls for a boycott of Arizona-based businesses. It asks for, but does not demand, that city departments refrain from entering into new contracts or extending existing ones with companies headquartered in Arizona, unless severing those ties would result in significant costs to the city or violate other laws.

"This is really about sending a very clear message that when a state passes a law that is egregious as this law is, that people of good conscience in other parts of the country have an obligation and responsibility to speak up and not remain silent," said Supervisor David Campos, chief sponsor of the legislation.

Insane, just totally nuts. Some of the comments I saw showed that people living in S.F. were not happy with this action.

Nonbinding! LOL!

[pfflier]

OK. They’ll cut off their vegetables and all they will be left with is fruits.

[Venturer]

So what is wrong with passing a law that the Federal Government already has, but refuses to enforce.

Why do we even have laws if they arent enforced?

The Presdent is responsible to see that these laws are enforced, but he encourages the law breakers.

Like that means anything to the SF Marxiqueer tyranny.

Arizona should ship it's illegals to SF, and have the last laugh.

No more trips of SF Bay area New Age types to Sodona???

When your state goes belly up I would love nothing more to avoid any sort of bailout that might come from Zero.

That’s what I say, send them to California and New York.

[null and void]

AZ should give every illegal a one-way bus ticket to SF.

Pussies. They should demand it and then accept whatever consequences come their way because of their actions.

Typical gutless liberals.

Boycott faggottown........

They better lock up the twinkies .

Great idea. Terminate contracts with Arizona companies because of this law. Then sit back and watch the lawsuits for breach of contract pour in. Idiots.

Now that they have passed this lovely and diverse symbolic resolution, can they get down to the business of doing their actual job within budget? I didn’t think so.

My message to San Francisco which my favorite city -- about 50 years ago:

We're Takin' Back Our Country

[I see my hands]

I've been calling travel agencies and random individuals in San Francisco and thanking them for their boycott of AZ. It's cool to do! My voice always has a smile in it and my tone is always respectful. Our conversations are cordial and often fun (though, in my heart I want to scream curses at their vile selves). Every point they make I accede to. It's fun to agree with them and then restate their arguments with slightly rightist language. Give it a try: Addresses.com

I plan on buying all my 2nd amendment ammunition from arizona.

Whattya scumbag politicians think of that!?

[rickb308]

They have actual jobs? Who’d a thunk it!

[apocalypto]

At least one brave soul vote against it. We decided to skip San Francisco on our vacation. I have been there before and, imho, it is the most overrated city.

[fatnotlazy]

I could easily boycott San Francisco. Haven’t been there in years, but last time I was, the city looked like a dump. I already have a dump nearby — downtown Pittsburgh.
