"We are all Arizona" Thank you Dallas!!

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/042710dnmetimmigmarch.3e7250f.html

Promoting a theme of “We Are All Arizona,” activists are predicting that a tough new immigration law in that state will spur protests nationwide and bolster a previously planned march Saturday in downtown Dallas.

The Dallas march is planned for 1 p.m., starting at the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe on Ross Avenue. The route is similar to one taken on Palm Sunday in 2006, when an estimated 350,000 to 500,000 took part in the largest social protest in Texas history.

"Today it is Arizona," said Jennifer Cortez, a senior at the University of Texas at Arlington. "Tomorrow what other state will try to pass this legislation?"


So happy to hear about this :)

1. Those of us who get painted with a broad brush have to stick
together!!!

With a governor and state board of education like we in Texas have we are used to taking a ration of shit. It's only fitting that we join in solidarity with a sister state undergoing the same flaming commentary.

We are all Arizona!

2. Thank you! People have to think that this bill could come to their state if it's successful in Ariz
Someone else in Az and I were talking last nite how we were surprised by the lack of solidarity, so this was especially sweet.
