Protest will be plentiful in Arizona including Sunday

NOTE: this post isn't meant to plug my show, but I thought it was important enough to those who didn't hear it to be able to. Please forgive me if it seems to be self serving, but it is meant to help you understand how we feel here in Arizona, and to give you a real view of the impact of this horrible law, as well as what we are trying to do here to reverse this.


On my radio show today, Jeff Farias called in to update us on a meeting the Democratic Party had in Tucson. He said that this bill 1070 was the talk of the group and that a protest at the State Capital in Phoenix would be held tomorrow. I hope to attend and hope all that can will be there. There will also be a podcast of my show from tonight up so you can hear some people most affected by this horrible law, with one breaking down as she talks about the fear she has not only for herself, but her family. All are born citizens. Here is where the podcast will be and should be up by noon pacific time Sunday. http://smcws.podbean.com/

listening to the poscast, because it show that there are some real Americans in Arizona.

Good luck to you, and best wishes for your efforts.

thankyou! My family will be there!

I just talked to Jeff Farias and he said it will be then at the Capital. He also told me that he will be recording it to air on his show on Monday for those who can't attend and want to hear the sounds of it.

From an email:

Governor Brewer has signed SB 1070, a law that will cost Arizona millions in lawsuits and lost revenue from businesses and tourism. This law does nothing less than legalize racial profiling, and we need to take action. Let's make our voices heard! YDAz will be rallying with our allies against this new law.

Join us on Sunday at the capitol at 12:00 noon.

Young Democrats are meeting in two places to carpool and grab clip boards with voter registration forms before the rally. Join us if you can!

Meet at ASU at 11:00am

Discovery Hall Parking lot (on Orange Street between Forest and College)

it's easy to make flip remarks about what a backward country AZ is, but the truth is if it could happen there it could happen most anywhere. propHATE passed in CA.
i don't think AZ's law will pass its first test in a court of law...but then the SC chose a president who stayed on for 8 horrific years. i wish i could be in phoenix tomorrow.

this bill do like the tea party demonstrators. Imagine them all exercising their 2nd Amendment rights by carrying weapons.

Just imagine "Imagine if the Tea Party was Black" - amazing read

here I am in Arizona 3 years laters fighting another battle and maybe once more looking at my life being on the line. How come we just can't find respect for each other, and deal with problems in a decent and understanding way? Oh well, here I go again and if I have to give up my life to make it better for those being done wrong, so be it. God, I am tired of fighting stuff that was suppose to be resolved in my dad's time. Oh well back to the past.

In case you are in the area and can attend the protest at noon at the State Capital.

Steve Farley of Tuscon addressed the issue in any depth. This was the Democratic State Committee meeting. Most of the meeting was geared to the upcoming elections. The Atty general candidates spoke. Felicia Rotellini was outstanding. Andrei Cherni spoke about his upcoming fundraiser on Monday with Bill Clinton, various other candidates spoke and we elected a new Senior Vice Chair and affirmative action moderator.

I talked to Jeff on the phone during my show (see podcast tomorrow for the statements) and I am going by what he said on it. I imagine he was talking about the general talk among those attending and maybe not so much about what the speakers said. I would be interested to hear what you hear people there saying about this new law and what you learned about it.

I am. as per usual, still furious that the Arizona State Democratic Party allowed this to happen. Many of us knew this was the danger in 08 when they ignored the local candidates and the down ticket and concentrated on narrowing the Mccain/Obama gap. When we lost Janet, that was the nail in the coffin. Look what happened to choice as well. And education and healthcare and..... It just makes me spit. The only hope is that this finally gets out the Hispanic vote.

I hope the community will see how it is going to make them prisoners in their own land. I was so depressed when my caller told how she worried about her family and how distressed she was in her call. Add in the clerk I talked to yesterday that I wrote about here, certainly the others feeling this will decide they can't afford to sit around anymore.

great to hear people are taking action right away.

Just remember, they don't care what we think, but they do care about money. So, boycotts are the only thing they will understand.

Don't worry about posting, we want to know what is going on. Thank you for the updates.

:kick: & Rec'd

It is a law that will subject anyone visiting Arizona to potential jailing. It has that clause that if you think the cops aren't enforcing the law, then you can sue law enforcement. Anyone will be likely to be asked for citizenship proof and if you were a cop, how do you say no when you might be getting the next lawsuit going by doing so. No this law is seriously bad and it must be done away with.

I would hope the press would cover this as well.

The Democratic Party appears to be the ones putting this together so I would think they would have. Sorry, I just don't know.

and hope thousands will be, however, we must do all we can and hang together to repeal this law. I know many aren't pleased with it that are republicans, but the propaganda machine is working hard to make it appear it is blessed by most. I even saw one (probably a freeper) here trying to make it seem like it is supported by both republicans and democrats, but I bet he would be hard pressed to prove it. Sure some might support but I doubt it is as favored as these jerks would want to have you think.

Thanks for keeping us outsiders posted. :fistbump: and also :hug:

And with your link to the podcast. The MSM will likely not give it a whole lot of coverage, so we will have to depend on DU and your excellent link. Thanks for it by the way and good luck to you all down there.
