You didn't vote for Brewer, but the majority of the people of Arizona did vote for the asshats in the state legislature that first introduced the bill, and second had enough votes to get it to Brewer's desk so that she could sign it.

Changing the governor isn't going to do much, you have to change the legislature! In order to do that you have to change the minds of the racists non-progressive Arizonans, who love the privacy of the ballot box, and can show their love of white hoods and burning crosses without actually doing it in the open.

There may be many progressives in Arizona, but it seems evident that they lack the numbers to get any real change accomplished.

Personally I wish you luck, but it seems that the only thing that non-progressives understand is when something affects their business and their bottom line. It's unfotunate that a boycott will also affect those against this law, but maybe it'll be a wake up call to those voters who currently support this law.

And by the way I lived in Tucson from 1997-2005, and still have friends in Phoenix as well.
