Boycott the boycotters

The Spokesman-Review

I would like the tea party to support Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s signing of the Senate Bill 1070 and suggest the following:

1. The people (that are for Senate Bill 1070) boycott any state, county or city that boycotts Arizona for passing the bill.

2. The people (that are for Senate Bill 1070) contact their senators, representatives (city, state, county and federal) to support Gov. Brewer. If they do not represent you, don’t vote for him or her on the next election.

I feel federal government has not ever taken any aggressive action to fix the problems at the Mexican-U.S. borders. Arizona is the first, and I would like to see the rest of the states follow Arizona’s lead on fixing the problem of any illegal aliens unlawfully entering the United States.
