Governor Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070,
April 23, 2010
Arizona needs to attract visitors,
conventions and new businesses to grow
our economy; unfortunately, the approved
law, Senate Bill 1070, considered the
toughest state immigration measure in
the United States because it now makes
being in Arizona illegally a state
crime, will lead to acts of civil
disobedience and adverse economic
consequences for Arizona's economy.
Arizona for the past forty years has
realized an influx of whites from the
mid-west moving to Arizona with
conservative values into enclaves called
Sun City, Sun City West, Sun City Grand,
Sun Lakes, etc. duplicating the South in
the days of Jim Crow.
Now with the passage of SB 1070, Arizona
fully embraces a period of Jim Crow
actions.
During the time of Jim Crow in the
South, the majority of the white, voting
population rabidly supported
segregation. Only the intervention of
the federal government, economic
boycotts against businesses that
discriminated, and a prolonged Civil
Rights Movement finally prevailed over
the great mass of whites who wanted the
color line to remain intact.
The Jim Crow laws were state and local
laws in the United States enacted
between 1876 and 1965. They mandated de
jure racial segregation in all public
facilities, with a supposedly "separate
but equal" status for black Americans.
In reality, this led to treatment and
accommodations that were usually
inferior to those provided for white
Americans, systematizing a number of
economic, educational and social
disadvantages.
Nearly identical to Jim Crow was
apartheid used in South Africa.
The crime of apartheid is defined by the
2002 Rome Statute of the International
Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a
character similar to other crimes
against humanity "committed in the
context of an institutionalized regime
of systematic oppression and domination
by one racial group over any other
racial group or groups and committed
with the intention of maintaining that
regime."
Hispanic News believes Arizona has
become the new apartheid for America
brought about by overt hatred of
Hispanics.
The only immediate defense
available to Arizona Hispanics
of this overt hatred is to put into
practice an economic sanction, rather
than Burn, Baby, Burn! used in the Watts
Riots of 1965 lasting 6 days in Los
Angeles.
The Hispanic News letter to Gov.
Brewer, dated April 19, 2010, stated if
SB 1070 is approved, Hispanic News would
proceed to implement a national boycott
of Arizona.
Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) providing
sage advise said, “Our economic sanction
is: Do not do business with a state that
is propagating the idea separate but
equal treatment under the law can be
codified.”
Grijalva, who represents a southern
Arizona district (Tucson) called Senate
Bill 1070 "racist."
Grijalva added, “The governor and
legislature are blind to what this bill
will really do to citizens, law
enforcement and the state economy.
Tourists will not come to a state with
discriminatory policies on the books.
Businesses will not move here. Hispanic
workers and taxpayers will leave. If
state lawmakers don’t realize or don’t
care how detrimental this will be, we
need to make them somehow understand."
"Conventions are a large source of
visitors and revenue, and targeting them
is the most effective way to make this
point before it’s too late. Just as
professional athletes refused to
recognize Arizona until it recognized
Martin Luther King Jr., we are calling
on convention planners, organizations
and companies not to schedule
conventions and conferences in Arizona
until it recognizes civil rights and the
meaning of due process. We don’t want to
sustain this effort any longer than
necessary. It’s about sending a
message.”
Tuesday on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith
Olbermann, in a segment amusingly
entitled "State Out of Mind," Olbermann
interviewed Rep. Grijalva, who laid out
a plan for a tentative boycott.
"We're asking organizations," he told
Olbermann, "civic, religious, labor,
Latino, organizations of color to
refrain from using Arizona as a
convention site, to refrain from
spending their dollars in the state of
Arizona until Arizona turns the clock
forward instead of backwards and joins
the rest of the union. Indeed, Arizona
needs to be quarantined from the rest of
the nation, isolated and sanctioned
until there's a regime change, much like
South Africa under apartheid was in the
1980s."
Arizona SB 1070, which will become
Arizona law 90 days after the state
legislature's present session comes to
an end, will bring havoc on Arizona
directly turning Arizona into a Gestapo
state violating the civil rights of
Arizona Hispanics by significantly
increasing police profiling of everyone
with a brown face.
A new movement now begins to spread the
message across America of anyone who visits
or considers Arizona to expand or start
a new business, condones Arizona
becoming a police state.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio under the auspices of
the new Police State will expand his
immigration sweeps and knock in the dark
of night and state to Hispanic
households “identification papers.” It
will not be a request, but a command
from the Nazi Gestapo.
Arizona's economy is also directly
impacted by tourism and convention
attendance.
The purpose of this letter is to
officially notify all concerned, with
Arizona now moving forward with SB 1070,
Hispanic News on Monday will send out
its first letter regarding "Boycott
Arizona."
Our first action will be to contact
Republican National Committee Chairman
Michael Steele to strongly oppose
bringing the 2012 national Republican
convention to Phoenix. If the GOP
national convention comes to Arizona, it
will send a message the GOP condones
Arizona becoming a hate state toward
Hispanics.
We will not single out Republicans but
any Democrat or Republican event in
Arizona will not be welcomed. In
addition, we will directly contact every
business considering locating to Arizona
to make them aware Arizona has become a
police state.
Not only tourism/conventions and
businesses but also sport owners/teams
will be strongly asked not to come to
Arizona.
In addition, we will strongly recommend
tourism and conventions programs funded
by Arizona cities be brought to a halt.
On Monday, a letter will be sent to the
Phoenix city manager notifying him
Boycott Arizona will target all
conventions using the Phoenix Convention
Center.
Our strong recommendation to the city
manager is he now has a responsibility
to notify all convention planners
considering Phoenix to be apprised of
possible protests and a picket line at the
Phoenix Convention Center. In addition, Boycott
Arizona will also proceed to boycott the
service or product nationally sold by
the company.
All convention planners should be
notified of caveat emptor for it would
be prudent and advisable to warn all
conventions coming to the Phoenix
convention center their service or
product will be boycotted by Boycott
Arizona. We strongly recommend full
disclosure to all considering usage of
the Phoenix Convention Center.
Next week, a letter will be sent to the
City of Phoenix requesting the dollar
amount funded to the Phoenix Visitors
Convention Bureau this year and
requesting these funds be immediately
frozen and used for other programs and
services.
The Grand Canyon is our number 1 Arizona
tourist destination. This summer, we
will take Boycott Arizona to the
entrance of the Grand Canyon.
This will be where we host our first
national rally inviting Hispanic groups
from all over the USA to come to Arizona
to advance Boycott Arizona and promote
Immigration Reform in Washington.
Boycott Arizona will make the national
evening news programs and become highly
visible everywhere in the USA adding to
its success to close down Arizona.
To spread the message Arizona becoming a
police state, a network of supporters
across America will work with us to
spread the message of Boycott Arizona.
In addition, an advertising blitz
sponsored by Hispanic News will be part
of a national campaign to apprise all
tourism agencies and travel agents to
make their clients aware Arizona is now
a Police State.
Efforts to have national and/or regional
companies Boycott Arizona will result by
notifying large national
commercial real estate brokers and public
and private economic development agencies
in the USA by email blasts. Economic
development agencies charged with
bringing new companies to their cities
and states are highly competitive. They
will all use Arizona's Police State as a
tool to locate companies to their
jurisdictions in lieu of selecting
Arizona.
For a company or any part of a company
operation proceeding to locate in
Arizona, we shall boycott their products
and/or services not only in Arizona but
we will utilize our network of
supporters across America to boycott
their products and/or services across
America.
For companies already in Arizona, we
shall request their endorsement of
Boycott Arizona and add their names to a
list to be published here. For companies
already in Arizona who fail to endorse
Boycott Arizona, their products and/or
services will be added to the boycott
list.
In addition, Hispanic News will recruit
public officials to support Boycott
Arizona.
Boycott Arizona will also use the COPS
model used in San Antonio, Texas in
1974, to effectively close down economic
development growth in Arizona as
San Antonio's Communities Organized
Public Service (COPS) brought growth
to a halt in San Antonio.
In tandem with other pro-Immigration
Reform groups, we will make crystal
clear without federal Comprehensive
Immigration Reform in 2010, we will sit
out the 2010 and 2012 elections unless
Immigration Reform becomes the law of
the land prior to the next presidential
election.
The use of Tweeter to spread the message
of hate showered on Arizona Hispanics
will spread across the USA as a fire
spreading across the prairie. Nothing
will be able to stop it.
Arizona is our home state. SB 1070 will
have the same racist action as the
Germans requiring Jews to wear a Star of
David on their upper left chest to
identify them as Jews. Will SB 1070
require Hispanics wear brown armbands?
As Germans arrested Jews prior to and
during WW II and then sent Jews to
concentration camps for extermination,
Sheriff Joe Arpaio will expand his
immigration sweeps and knock in the dark
of night and state to Hispanic
households “identification papers.” It
will not be a request, but a command
from the SB 1070 Nazi Gestapo.
"Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to
Repeat It."
