I want to share with you some breaking news — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer just signed SB 1070, a discriminatory law that would essentially legalize racial profiling in the state.
Arizona has gone too far. This law — one of the worst in the nation — is a moral outrage. We need to send a clear message that Arizona does not deserve economic support from the rest of the country. Tourism is a huge industry in the state — bringing in $18 billion last year.
I just pledged to do what I can to avoid visiting the state or spending my dollars there, as long as racial profiling is legal. Will you join me?

Racial profiling is a bloody waste of time and I'll prove it to you:
Let's say you're sitting on a bench your city's public park at dusk. On your left are five black teenagers. On your right are five overweight, middle-aged and balding Wall Street bankers.
Question:
Which group is more likely to rob you of everything?
'Nuff said?
Good luck enforcing that one, Arizona!
