Arizona Shows Us What Tyranny Looks Like. I Am Opposed.

Fight Tyranny. Forward This to a Friend

I am opposed to the assault on our Constitution and democracy that Governor Jan Brewer signed into law last week. It is not just an effort to keep Mexicans from entering the United States; it is an attack on the civil rights and liberties of every American.

I stand firmly opposed to this law and fully support its repeal and finding that it is Unconstitutional.

According to one summary of the draconian Arizona law, advanced by right wing "Minute Men" and other forces of darkness in our society:

"It requires police officers, 'when practicable,' to detain people they reasonably suspect are in the country without authorization and to verify their status with federal officials, unless doing so would hinder an investigation or emergency medical treatment."

"It also makes it a state crime — a misdemeanor — to not carry immigration papers. In addition, it allows people to sue local government or agencies if they believe federal or state immigration law is not being enforced."

This is both racial profiling and puts me personally at risk for being detained by police officers who might be suspicious of my origins.

I am an American, and I say to the Governor and legislature of Arizona, "Don't Tread on Me."

The law also makes it a criminal offense not to have papers showing that you are American.

This is a violation of our civil rights.

I am a proud citizen of the United States.

"Don't Tread on Me" on Arizona.
