4. The workers can attent conventions elsewhere, just not in Az.
I have a feeling most workers will support this decision since many members are probably minorities. Sometimes the battle for Civil Rights gets a little uncomfortable. So far no one is being asked to risk their lives, just some financial hardship.

The more who follow this lead, and the quicker they do it, the faster the law will be rescinded. Money is all our leaders understand, nothing else matters. Appealing to their sense of justice would work if they had any, but most don't anymore.

The people's power when they are united, is enormous and this ought to show renegade legislators that while the people do often seem to be asleep, they shouldn't count on it.

There has already been success. The OTHER Arizona law, the Birther Law, has gone away with State Senator saying 'we don't need the controversy' and Sheriff Joe has decided not to run for Governor. I guess as a supporter of any law that targets minorities, he's getting the message that he better stay in his own little territory where his nazi tactics have been accepted, at least so far. But I bet he's shocked at the reaction from around the country and in Az itself, not to mention the rest of the world.

Boycotts Work!
