They were thinking they might even have 50,000 people at the Alto Arizona protest against SB 1070 which illgealzes "illegal immigrants". The reality is, there were likely 200,000 or more people who jammed the Seattle streets of the Arizona capitol in proest of the racial profiling law put into place by Republican Jan Brewer!
The weekend started off with a Friday protest in the office of Arizona John McCain. The long time Arizona senator had fooled many prior constituents when he announced a pro-immigration reform platform during the past presidential electons. After Governor Jan Brewer came under pressure to veto SB 1070, which requires police to detain all suspected undocumented workers, McCain flipped on the issue and came out in support of the ugly law. He has been active in being a major impediment to immigration reform for some time.
Yesterday, May 28th, 2010, McCain promised a metteing with constiutents at an Arizona comuuity center. He likely heard an immigration rights protest was lurking and cacelled the meeting using the "there was a three hour flight delay" excuse. Subsequently, McCain's office staffers found 200 protestors picketing his office! Sad to say, we have not seen much mention in the mainstream news about it. Pehaps that is why it took a massive Saturday protest today, May 29th, to make the statement!
PASS COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!
The message is convincingly clear. The question is, will Republican candidates hear before they get a rude awakening in November?

Short story:
Protest HB 1070!
Order your free Arizona vacation guide at the state of Arizona's expense! If we order enough of these the state will not have enough guides for their busy tourism season or will have to spend big bucks printing more!
This tactic worked well against a famous right wing Republican. We shut down his toll free donation line by jamming it with protest calls and requests for free information!
There is more than one way to boycott Arizona! Let them pay for the boycott out of their pockets! This guide is absolutely free!
Be sure to order the print version as the computer version will do the movement no good.

Long story
Arizona’s law HB 1070 which advocates open profiling of any person “of color” has passed and is in full preparations for launch. Arizona Republican Governor Jan Brewer signed the bill into law. Sheriff “Little Joe” Arpaio is ready with his 900 soldier strong squadron to swoop down and cleanse the land of everyone who “looks illegal”.
Help us protest this law where it hurts the most, in the back sides of Republicans who supported this ugly hate law. When we speak about Republicans’ back side we are usually talking about their wallets!
Order your free Arizona tourist guide IN PRINT FORM! Let the state that handed us an ugly law pay for a free tourist guide, including printing and mailing! When you get it, throw it in the trash, put next to the toilet in the bathroom for emergencies or give it to dog kennel for crate paper.
Whatever you do, order the literature and let the great state pay.
This won’t cost you a dime! Let Arizona know we vote with our pocketbooks!
Protest HB 1070, boycott Arizona, PASS THIS ON TO TEN OF YOUR FRIENDS AND ASK THEM TO ORDER THE FREE GUIDES, TOO!
