Best. Billboard. Ever. "Have your papers ready: Racial profiling just ahead"!

[KamaAina]

Right in downtown Phoenix, of course.

The idea was suggested to set-up a billboard in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, that would send a strong message to the governor and those who have consistently supported the law. Immediately hundreds of votes and comments, on everything from the look and feel of the billboard, to the actual slogan and message it would contain, poured in from everywhere in the country.

Cuéntame supporters ended up selecting "Have Your Papers Ready, Racial Profiling Just Ahead" as the slogan -- and went on to the task of raising the funds. Needing 10K, an amount large enough to keep the billboard up for a substantial period of time, Cuéntame supporters chipped-in anywhere from $5 to $500 -- and were able to meet the goal in just a few hours.

The billboard went up this past Monday, Aug. 9, on Camelback and 3rd Street in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, and already the response has been forceful and immediate. From those opposing SB 1070 expressing their overwhelming support via countless tweets, Facebook posts, emails and phone calls to supporters of SB 1070 expressing their outrage and indignation with the common wide array of racial slurs and immigrant bashing as their main weapon -- the billboard has already created quite a stir. And of course, the media has duly taken notice, with every single major outlet in Arizona covering the story: ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Univision, Telemundo, The Arizona Republic, The Phoenix Times and many local radio stations, TV stations and newspaper outlets.
