That's just a few biggies that folks can start to turn the heat up on with letter writing campaigns and to cease using for goods and services.

If someone would like they could be cross-referenced with political contributions to put heat on pukes and pro-bill forces first but the state has quite a few companies that rely on nationwide patronage. They also have several heavy equipment, scientific, and military producers that we should advise our reps that we want removed from the GSA and bid lists until Arizona complies with the Bill of Rights and basic humanity.

1. Honeywell isn't headquartered in Arizona

Its headquarters are in Morristown, NJ. It was born and bred and existed for most of its life in Minneapolis, MN, but was bought as part of a conglomerate in 1999 by AlliedSignal.
I'm not so sure we should be boycotting a company that simply has a division in a certain state, should we? I don't know. I think "Honeywell Aerospace" is there. Not sure I'm going down to the corner store to by any aerospace products in the near future. I'm confused.

19. it was Aerospace, I think subsidiaries should be hit because they split off

for their own benefit but still are directed, owned, or very dependent on the main company as their #1 customer.

2. Calls to boycott Arizona multiply on social media

Calls for boycotting Arizona and its businesses because of its new anti-illegal-immigration law have begun spreading virally, showing Arizona what it's like to be unpopular in a social-media era in which protesters can organize at the drop of a tweet.

A convention for immigration attorneys, scheduled for the Camelback Inn this fall, already has been canceled, and the state's business community has begun fighting back, urging groups and individuals not to boycott the state.

They hope outsiders will see the new law not as something that casts Arizona as being unwelcoming to Hispanics but as a call to the federal government to enact immigration reform.

The Arizona Hotel and Lodging Association on Monday set up its own Facebook page, "Don't Boycott AZ Tourism." The tagline: "Don't punish 200,000 tourism employees for politics."

7. when does that twit governor woman come up for electon?

Better yet, does Arizona have a recall process?

[EFerrari]

10. I don't think they can recall her because she was never elected.

She was SOS and moved up when Obama took the gov for his cabinet.

3. Im so never going to patronize TASER International again

[EFerrari]

4. LOL. From what I'm hearing, LEOs are not happy with this law

that puts them in a no win situation, so if these guys sell tasers, they may be out of luck.

5. Kroger is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.

17. The division Frys appeared to based in AZ

Modern day business practices mean that subsidiaries have independent "home" states.

6. I'm ticked that PetSmart is on the list

We don't go to PetSmart often, preferring a locally owned pet food store, but we kennel our dogs there from time to time. We're not planning on having to do anything right away, but we also have a Chow, so I'd better start looking for a safe, well-run place that will take her now, before we need one.

[EFerrari]

12. Welcome to DU, Junkie Brewster.

:)

[Junkie Brewster]

25. Thank you. Glad to be here.

:-)

[Dappleganger]

21. That IS upsetting.

We do shop there but have never used their kennel services.

Welcome to DU, btw! ;)

[Junkie Brewster]

26. The kennel near our house is great

First of all, the dogs are supervised, and the play time is visible to customers, so I feel reasonable secure that the dogs are not being abused. I have a shar-pei who just loves to play, and the play time is perfect. My chow isn't a terribly playful dog, so they let her stay with the smaller dogs (supervised, of course, and she isn't dog aggressive). The last time we put them in the kennel, I came in to visit my dogs, and found the chow surrounded by little dogs who almost appeared to be worshipping her- some were playbowing to her, a couple of them were gently grooming her sides. As a queen, she took this obescience in stride.

Thank you for the welcome.

8. Count me in. I've been waiting for a list like this. (nt)

[EFerrari]

14. If you go to the AZ Chamber of Commerce site

and the Great Phoenix Chamber of Commerce site, the respective board members list their affiliations.

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. Thanks for those links. (nt)

[Xenotime]

9. Great list. I'm telling all my friends.

It's too bad that we can force a ban on some of these companies.

[EFerrari]

11. Fyi: if you haven't yet, please sign the boycott pledge at Presente.org

http://presente.org/campaigns/shame

School of the Americas Watch and ColorOfChange have joined the campaign.

[DevonRex]

18. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have been speaking out loudly

and proudly and I thank you for that as well, even though SOME people here call it "bitching." To which I say I'll "bitch" all I want about this racist law and I WILL boycott.

[EFerrari]

24. Thanks, DevonRex.

[Dappleganger]

23. Done, and please post this in a new OP so that everyone will see it. nt

[spanone]

13. how can you blame a company for being headquartered in arizona? don't get it

[EFerrari]

15. It's not blame, it's logical consequence for major business stakeholders

with political clout in AZ.

If they get enough "feedback", they will put pressure on the state government.

[TheKentuckian]

20. It isn't about blame but about forcing this companies to use their influence to do the right thing.

Companies headquartered in states have the government by the short hairs as indicated by the huge tax breaks your's probably gives out to land them.

16. For those who order electronic cigarettes, NJOY is also in AZ.

I'll be ordering from blogslut from now on.
