Boycotting Arizona in Philadelphia
Angry about Arizona’s fascist and racist laws? Here’s how to cause some pain for a racist police state: stop buying products and using services whose headquarters are based there. For example, we buy toys for our cats at PetSmart. Or rather, we did: I just called them and explained that, while their company wasn’t to blame, I wouldn’t be patronizing them until Brewer’s fascist racist law was repealed. I was very pleasant, and explained to the fellow I spoke to that PetSmart is a victim of Governor brewer’s bad decisions. “i will be DELIGHTED to pass on your message,” the rep told me.
daily kos has a long list, and outside of US Airways (one of the only airlines between Montreal and Philadelphia that will let Sam fly unaccompanied) and Go Daddy (where this domain is registered) I have a number of not-racist alternatives. Here are some Arizona-based companies in Philadelphia:
Best Western
Cold Stone Creamery
Fender Guitars (ouch)
Go Daddy
PetSmart
P.F. Chang’s China Bistro
TASER International (which will probably see a lot of use in the hands of Arizona’s gestapo)
U-Haul
US Airways
Just say NO to Arizona. Make ‘em lose millions of dollars. Don’t visit the state; if you have to drive through, try to fill up your tank beforehand, and buy snacks out of state. Fuck ‘em, the racist crackers.
