Action Alert |
(sample letter to copy and paste into your email browser) To Bloomington administrators:
I want to express my displeasure with the recent vote of the Bloomington City Council and Mayor concerning the passage of SB1070 in Arizona and their letter sent to Governor Brewer, Senator McCain and Senator Kyle.
They misrepresent what the law actually does in their letter, saying it legalizes racial profiling. SB1070 is the same as the federal law and even goes further to prevent racial profiling. Why did the Bloomington Council and Mayor not write a letter to the federal government condemning their law? They stated condemnation was widespread against the new law. This is certainly not true.In Indiana the approval for the new law is 63%.
The letter goes on to threaten a boycott of Arizona and explore discontinuing contracts with companies in the state. I find this letter to be a slap in the face of citizens that believe in the rule of law. I disagree strongly with the actions of the Bloomington Mayor and Council on this issue.
Until the Bloomington Council rescinds their letter I will not be doing business in Bloomington and will also encourage many others to the same. One thing these outspoken city governments need to realize is that boycotts are a two way street. I hope everyone with any influence over the Council will let them know their actions don't reflect the opinions of most Hoosiers and will harm the city of Bloomington. Sincerely,
|
