52. People understand the points you make in your post.
But the truth is that boycotts are the only effective tool people have anymore, and they are the only thing, short of violence, that have ever worked to stop the bad guys from taking over. Or to topple them when they do.

The best thing Arizonans can do who are opposed to this law but worried about the boycotts, is to call their Republican Reps and tell THEM how angry they are about the law which is now going to cause the state to lose money.

Iow, Blame THEM, not those who are trying to stop them. The more angry constituent calls they get about the boycotts, the sooner it will dawn on them that their little game might not have been such a great idea after all.

Already the anger from the rest of the country is beginning to have an effect. This is NOT the time to back down. But YOU and others in Az can use the reaction from around the country to frighten the bigots who thought this whole scheme up by expressing your anger at what they have done.
