Joe!---What's up with supporting the boycott on AZ! I have heard only a few people complain about this law while the over whelming majority of people support it. Which means you are more likely to turn away people from your music than attract. Boycotts work both ways! If the concern over the law is the unconstitutionallity, don't worry! The law was designed to mirror Federal law. So if there is a problem to be had, take it up with the Federal government, not the people of AZ. Another thing I notice about people who complain about this law,is that they have never read it! DHS, the Chief of Staff, and others all deny reading the bill. It states specifically in the bill (1070) that it was designed to mirror federal law. It sadens me that so many people are quick to judge this law and declare it unjust. In reality, something has to be done! We are the second kidnap capital, IN THE WORLD!!! Second only to Columbia. That's pretty pathetic. Not to mention the fact that the drug cartels have been making there way north into AZ for years. And now, thanks to the "War on Terror", we have another type of people wanting to enter our country. It has been reported that in Texas, only 50% of the illegals captured are from Mexico. The others are from countries that mean to do us harm. Will it take an act of terror and more lives gone before we all realize that something must be done!? And lastly, we are, or shuold be, a Republic. Which means we are ruled by law. If someone breaks a law, we don't give them exemption from it. When somone enters this country illegally, they are breaking not just Federal law, but now state law. Hence the term, ILLEGAL. To turn away from enforcing the law is to open the gates to other laws being disregarded.

I understand this will not simply change your mind since you are already on a list of people/bands boycotting AZ, but I had to at least voice my mind on the subject. I know you are a truly kind and generous person and you mean the best for everyone. But we in AZ must do what is best, and lawful, to secure our way of life and enforce the rule of law.
