Kudos guys for a serious, mostly respectful political discussion. I agree with Damian’s sentiments.
Here’s the lowdown on the situation in AZ. Much of the rural part of the state is inhabited by ranchers and Mormon families who settled in the 1800′s – read conservative. Much of the suburban areas are rich retired white folks – also read conservative. The towns and cities on the other hand – all 4 of them – are liberal and democratic hotbeds. We can’t really “boycott AZ” from within, instead we are being active. The immigrants rights groups here are long-standing and well-organized. Protests are happening. Lawsuits are happening.
The Rialto Theatre in Tucson is the venue Stars played last time they came through. Cypress Hill recently cancelled their show @ the Rialto in protest of the bill. Their slot was filled by a benefit for Derechos Humanos, a local organization. This is what Damian is talking about – engage in being part of the solution.
