I can't help it - I'm not exactly for the boycotts because I think it hurts you and me alot more than Brewer and Pearce.

PHOENIX -- An Arizona utility regulator suggests there could be payback for the Los Angeles City Council's vote to boycott Arizona businesses because of the state's new law targeting illegal immigration.

Arizona Corporation Commission member Gary Pierce responded to the council's vote by sending a letter Tuesday to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (vee-ah-reye-GOH'-sah). It cites the mayor's support for the boycott and says he would "be happy to encourage Arizona utilities" to renegotiate power agreements that now send electricity to the California city.

Pierce concludes his letter by saying that people of goodwill can disagree over the Arizona law's merits but that a boycott of Arizona "is not a message sent in goodwill."

2. Well I;m glad someone is standing up for us. These boycotts are nonstop.
And a little silly - don't you think? Whole towns boycotting our state?
I don't think Brewer cares. If she did, she would do something about it rather than argue and belittle everyone who is against 1070.
The front page of the Republic(an) today had an article slamming Obama, Holder and Napolitano for criticizing the bill without reading it first. That's where her mentality is at.

In the meantime - the people who work in the hospitality industry are getting hurt.

3. Horizon had a police officer on last night talking about how he would implement the law.
He was talking about what would happen during a traffic stop and it sounded a lot like what happened the last time I got a ticket -- okay, that was over 10 years ago. The officer asked for my license, registration, and insurance card.

So the question is if that's what the new law will mean, why did we need this law?

4. Exactly - we don't even enforce the laws we do have.
Don't get me wrong - just because I'm sick of the boycotts, doesn't mean I'm for this racist bill.
