A press conference will be held mid September

The audience, many in cowboy hats, listened quietly for about an hour as leaders of the Arizona Minutemen explained how they organized a patrol along their own border in April. Read the article.

Arizona Hispanic Boycott 200 "Follow the Money"

To even provide a safe haven for immigrants especially children who where born in the United States. You and others like you filled with hate refer to these children as: anchor babies.

The undocumented cross over illegally but one has to ask why do these immigrants have to enter the United States illegally?

You and others in your mind set, use the mantra "illegal" as nothing more than a "red herring." People in your mind set, choose to do all in your power using half-truths in the daily rhetoric of hate to hinder any form of immigration: legal or undocumented. The underlying reason you choose to keep immigrants out of the United States is - fear. The numbers of Hispanics now in the United States is increasing at such a dramatic rate that the sheer numbers are terrifying for you and your kind, for the increased population means that life as you know it, living behind walls of hate, will some day coming tumbling down or rather be torn down.

Your life as you know it will change just as it was inevitable, salsa would replace ketchup.

To you and those like you, this is intolerable. Simply put, there are just too many Mexicans all over the place and they do not honor self imposed reservations such as South Phoenix. The borders have come tumbling down and Hispanics are found even in affluent north Scottsdale.

No one likes change but change is inevitable. Change should be embraced and not feared. Nothing done such as the Minutemen will change anything.

The greatest element you can not change is - time itself. With each passing day, the United States becomes more and more Hispanic or as you would loathe, with each passing desert night.

According to the United States Census Bureau, in the year 2097, 50% of the entire population in the United States will be Hispanic.

Texas has already reached this milestone. Arizona now at 30%, will reach the 50% milestone in 2020.

There are some; however, who are astutely embracing this increase. Some United States companies see the surge in consumers and are moving actively to capture market share of this ever increasing market.

Fueled by the financial clout of the growing Hispanic population, G.M. is holding recruiting events around the country, seeking bilingual Latino sales people to pitch General Motors vehicles to their own community.

On May 17, 2005, GM launched a new national marketing campaign, praising Hispanic Heroes.

Rick Wagoner is under the gun to come up with a bold plan to restore profitability and one sure way is capture market share from the Hispanic consumer market in the United States.

Having a General Motors dealership in Phoenix, Arizona instrumental in fathering Proposition 200 and daily inciting anti Hispanic sentiment is at a polar position to G.M.'s new Hispanic marketing campaign. (Letter now being drafted to Rick Wagoner asking G.M. to end its business relationship with Childress Buick or face a national boycott of all G.M. cars and trucks.)

The analogy of China and its population increasing at a exponential rate is being played out each day in the United States as Hispanic population growth is the prime economic stimulus of increasing GNP by adding new markets.

Globalization miraculously is now found within our own USA borders. Instead of former models selling to consumers all over the world, consumers are moving to the United States. The economic model is too good to be true but not the right kind of stuff for Lou Dobbs Tonight.

This is the easiest and safest way of securing our borders for the United States government will know where all visa holders will live and work.

There is precedent for this. Anyone in the United States, including undocumented, now have access by application to IRS ID Numbers providing for federal taxes to be paid. These numbers are used extensively by undocumented who choose to live in the United States as all other Americans.

As the Hispanic population increases, we are presently out-gunned in voting. Such is the paradox we find ourselves in with representatives in the majority at the Arizona State Legislature who are out of sync with all Arizonians. Yes, they represent others of their mind set but this too in time will change. A day will come when the majority of Arizona legislators will be Hispanic. An American Hispanic governor will happen first.

In the 1940's, the Afrikaner National Party (A.K.A. Arizona State Legislature Republicans) holding a sizeable majority in the legislature invented an Apartheid policy highly effective of achieving its goal of preferential treatment for whites.

All of this changed in 1990 when leading anti-apartheid campaigner Nelson Mandela was freed from Victor-Verster Prison in Paarl, South Africa after 27 years which was the beginning of the end of Apartheid.

To spear head a boycott in Arizona, a new non profit organization is being formed. The Arizona Law and Education Center (ALEC) this month reserved its name with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Within the next two month, ALEC will be incorporated as a non profit in Arizona and will subsequently submit its application to the United States Internal Revenue Service for approval as a tax exempt non profit corporation.

The purpose of ALEC will be to represent American Hispanics in need of advocacy, legal services, economic development, housing, health, public policy, immigration, citizenship and educating all Americans on the contributions of Hispanics.

Its first primary mission will be to organize Arizona Hispanic Boycott 200 against Prop 200 by targeting the founding fathers of Prop 200: Rusty Childress and Russell Pearce.

Prop 200

Proposition 200 requires Arizonans to prove their U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, and to provide proof they are legal residents when applying for certain state benefits. State employees who fail to report undocumented immigrants face a possible $750 fine and four months in jail.

The proponents

Prop 200 anti-illegal immigration crusader is Rusty Childress, owner of Childress Buick, a General Motors dealership at 2223 East Camelback Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Interesting side bar: At the first meeting of East Valley LULAC on February 17, 2004, Rusty Childress attended the meeting and sat quietly in the back listening to discussions of agenda items. We did not know who he was until after the meeting. 

In The Arizona Republic, Anti-Hispanic Russell Pearce said businesses that cater to Spanish speakers are engaged in "corporate corruption" and are "after money."

The comments seemed to disparage Childress, who joined with Pearce to promote the Protect Arizona Now ballot initiative that was supposed to cut undocumented immigrants off the state's welfare rolls.

Childress offers Spanish information on his Web site, and even at the height of the Protect Arizona Now campaign, had a big banner outside his dealership on West Camelback Road that read, "Se habla Español."

The second phase will target West Mesa, home to District 18 (where I live), the legislators' district who was prime mover in organizing Prop 200 and who continues to sponsor anti Arizona Hispanic State legislation.  District 18's legislators are: Russell K. Pearce, Mark Anderson, and Karen Johnson.

Mesa's District 18's businesses will be required to sign an agreement stating Prop 200 is anti Hispanic. Any business not signing will be identified as an advocate of Prop 200 and will be boycotted.

Downtown Mesa along Main Street is where phase two will begin. There are several large car and truck dealerships that sell to Hispanics. In addition, Mesa is gearing up to open the $100 million arts center Spring 2006. The boycott is being organized to begin late 2005 and the Mesa arts center and the surrounding businesses will be the primary focus area of the boycott.

The third phase will be initiated upon any anti-Arizona Hispanic state legislation proposed.

Districts whose representatives propose such legislation will be targeted.

Any other anti Hispanic activity such as the border Minuteman Project (or similar type project) will initiate a state wide business boycott targeting major employers or major service centers such as Sky Harbor Airport to achieve maximum adverse impact.

Another thought is we hold a state wide December month long business boycott. December is the highest sales volume month of the year. Again, only those businesses who refuse to sign the Stop Prop 200 agreement will be boycotted.

The effect

Eventually all state legislators will come to know if they propose anti-Hispanic legislation, it will result in a boycott of businesses in their home district.

A state wide program will be also be conducted to educate the effect of Prop 200 on its impact on all Arizona Hispanics and the divisive climate now being generated throughout Arizona.

To counter this anti-Hispanic current felt by nearly all Hispanics both native born to recent immigrants, Arizona will be educated on the significant purchasing power of Arizona Hispanics. Trying to hold back the Hispanic surge is similar to the little Dutch boy who foolishly tried to hold back the surge of the Atlantic Ocean by placing his finger in the dike preventing it from breaking. 226 House Republican Little "Dutch Boys" Try to Hold Back Hispanic Flood.

The Hispanic Strategy

We may not presently have the power at the ballot box but we certainly have the power of purchasing or rather not purchasing that will have an adverse negative impact on those businesses that support the efforts of Prop 200 advocates.

By not purchasing from businesses who support Prop 200, it is our goal to have these businesses withdraw their support for legislators who continue to advocate hate legislation.

Arizona has a burgeoning Hispanic population, which surged in the 1990s and now represents nearly 30 percent of Arizona's total and increases by one percent each year. Before 2025, Hispanics will be the majority in Arizona.

Hispanic buying power was estimated at $686 billion in 2004, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia. It is expected to hit $923 billion by 2009. Arizona ranks No. 7, with $20.9 billion in purchasing power.

Sales of new cars and trucks make up approximately 10% of the $20.9 billion in purchasing power. Auto dealers in Mesa and along Camelback Road are estimated to sell $300 million annually. Our goal will be to reduce sales by 30% (30% of Arizona's population is Hispanic increasing by 1% per year) reducing by $90,000,000 total car and truck sales. The loss of sales to Hispanics will have an adverse impact on those that continue to promote anti Hispanic legislation.

We will begin with car and truck dealerships in Mesa and on West Camelback Road but we are encouraged from others in other Arizona communities. The boycott will spread to all legislative districts whose representatives sponsor anti-Hispanic legislation.
