Topic: Arizona Boycott

Linda Chavez-Thompson, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Texas and former AFL-CIO official, addressed the Netroots conference. She emphasized her refusal to fly through Phoenix, Arizona, as part of a political boycott. The hosts criticize her performance and the use of Spanish phrases to appeal to the blogger audience.

New York City officials proposed Resolution 0224, which calls for an official boycott of the State of Arizona in response to its immigration policies. The resolution aims to bar municipal travel to the state and stop the acceptance of Arizona municipal bonds. The hosts argue that such boycotts may violate interstate commerce laws and represent an "un-American" attempt by one state to interfere with the business of another.
