Boycott Arizona Urges Arizona Congressman

After Arizona passed what has been described as the most draconian immigration bill in the history of the United States, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D) Arizona, urged organizations to refrain from using Arizona as a convention site and urged them to refrain from spending their dollars in the state of Arizona until Arizona turns the clock forward and joins the rest of the union.

His request to boycott Arizona was captured and broadcast on a Youtube video by Cuentame, an organization that is mounting a campaign to boycott Arizona because of the passage of SB 1070.
