Buy Arizona!

All Patriots Media is the platform for Freedom and Liberty. We believe in the Constitution, and we believe in the rights of American citizens to protect and defend themselves.

When Governor Brewer signed the Arizona immigration bill into law, the citizens of Arizona were greeted with violent attacks, racist signs and graffiti. The City Attorney of San Francisco, Dennis Herrera, is working to initiate a boycott of Arizona goods and businesses. An Arizona Congressman is advocating a boycott of convention business in the state.

Tony Katz, host of The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular, has decided to take action against the threats (violent and economic) on the people of Arizona.  All Patriots Media is proud to announce the Buy Arizona! Initiative.

As Tony stated, “The people of Arizona have spoken, and they have made the no-brainer decision to protect themselves.  They have stated that they will enforce Federal law, even when the Federal government lacks the determination to do so themselves.  They have decided to be the responsible people – regardless of what President Obama says – and take control of an out-of-control situation.

Now there are talks of economic boycotts, and violent attacks upon police officers.  Am I the only one who noticed that those who support illegal activities are the ones being violent?  Aren’t these the same people who call the Tea Party movement violent?  And, if boycotts are the answer, will LaRaza also advocate a boycott of Iranian products?  Will the city of San Francisco stop trade with China?

I want the people of Arizona to know that they are not alone.  There are millions of people around the country who applaud their efforts.  While no one wants to see a rise of the police state, we all want to see illegal immigration stopped.  We want to see illegals sent back to their country of origin.  We want the borders enforced.  We want the rule of law, and we want government to apply the rules.

So, I have created the Buy Arizona! Initiative.  Everyday, on the Tony Katz Radio Spectacular, we will provide free advertising for one Arizona business.  We will offer the business community of Arizona special advertising rates to reach our growing audience, and help counter the effects of any boycott that is attempted.  The Tony Katz Radio Spectacular will stand shoulder to shoulder with Americans who want to live their lives in peace, and provide for their families.”

To be a part of the Buy Arizona! Initiative, email us here.  You can contact the Tony Katz Radio Spectacular by email.

    I need a list of companies and goods made in Arizona. If I'm going to goods from Arizona, I need a list of goods to choose from. Jewelry? Home decor? Food items (chili items, sweets, etc.)? Beauty products? Navajo rugs? Hand crafted items? Any major corporations that are household brands we'd recognize? A list with web site links would be helpful.

    • Jack Notebaert

      Below is a list of products and services you can purchase that will support the economy of Arizona, which, as I noted earlier today, is being boycotted by emotional left-wing race hysterics.

      You can find lots of Arizona vendors on E Bay. E Bay lets you filter for location. Just put in Phoenix or Tucson and 200 miles radius. You'll get lots of Arizona vendors.

  • Elizabeth S.

    Sorry, I meant "…going to buy goods from Arizona…"

  • Jim K

    I would like to support Arizona and buy goods manufactured in Arizona. Please provide a list of Arizona manufacturers. I am so proud of the Arizona legislature, Governor and citizens. Please keep up the good work and God Bless. An Okie!!!

    • Kronos

      This Coloradan is boycotting any state that screws with Arizona! Online or Offline business.

  • Edward Bruce

    Sign me up… I'll buy stuff from Arizona….

  • Prudence

    Our home office is in Arizona and we're recommending everyone vacation there to support all the legal fold who work through out this fine state — which is doing the job which the Federal Government abrogated — protecting our borders and enforcing immigration laws. If an Arizona products list comes out, please post it ! or send it to me.

    And we send a welcome to all legal immigrants from many countries with whom we've worked throughout the years; feel loved and welcome!

    • Lynn Thornhill

      My husband is a LEGAL imigrant from Canada. This was onerous and very time consuming, but the right thing to do. We believe it is right to allow immigrants to enter our country LEGALLY to better there lives. Although we would love to vacation in Atizona, that is not possible at this time. However, we could buy competitive products and will do so to so our support.

  • Givemeliberty

    I want to support all the states in state sovereignty issues–and this is an important one!! Do the citizens of the state of Arizona have any rights? Of course they do! Their state has appropriately come to their rescue! Please help the "buycott" of Arizona–give us a list of companies and products (as mentioned above by Elizabeth S.), with weblinks and/or addresses, and the citizens of other states can put their "money where their mouth is".

    When John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods, came out with his comments against forced government insurance plans (i.e., "Health Care Reform"), there was an attempt to boycott his business. The St. Louis Tea Party, and perhaps others, joined in a "buycott" of Whole Foods, to show support for this brave man, and to apply economic counter pressure. I believe their effort was a success. I would simply love to see the same effort on behalf of the great state of Arizona!

  • Jeff from NC

    Sign me up. Can we have a list of organizations boycotting Arizona so we can make sure not to use their products?

    • Lynn Thornhill

      Great idea, Jeff! We were working from thother side, supporting companies producing products FROM Arizona. If you get this list of boycotters, we would appreciate a copy in order to avoid inadvertently helping them. My husband is a LEGAL immigrant from Canada and we have spent years getting his citizenship (soon we hope). God bless America. Let's keep it free.

    I left AZ a year ago to raise my daughter in a better place. Please let us know of businesses to support. Love az, hate what it has turned into. Get it cleaned up. I may move back.

  • kerry early

    Boycot CA – stop selling water and power to them

  • Scott in SF

    Please don't come here or support my formerly beautiful San Francisco. The illegals run rampant
    and an extremely left-leaning board of supervisors panders to them.
    I plan on visiting Arizona (again) later this summer.
    Would love to see a list too.

  • Thomas

    For those of us outside the state, a list of online businesses would be helpful. Might also want to include if they use e-verify for hiring.

  • http://www.BessByers.com Bess

    I agree!! I’m living in China and wholeheartedly support Arizona and its decision to (gasp) enforce the law. Please let me know what companies in AZ I can support. Keep up the great work!

    FYI, everyone here is preparing to celebrate “May Day” aka “Commie Day.”

  • GringosRule

    I think it is pathetic that the people are worried about a bunch of dirty mexicans! They think they have rights?! Yet they no speaka da english? They wave their flag in OUR country. When my Great Grandpa came here from Italy he proudly gave up his language, forbid it's use in their house and flew the American flag in his store. He was proud to be here, and Italy isn't the giant turdbowl mexico is!! How dare these commies push us, I think Americans have had it up to here! I am boycotting MN, SF and anyone else who doesn't have the balls to stand for Americans!!
    I support AZ and I wish the rest of the southern states would follow suit to show solidarity with AZ. We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore (get it big ears?). No Amnesty only jail or deportation!

    • AMERICAN DREAM

      Not all immigrants are MEXICANS!!!, don't be such an idiot!, I'm Mexican and I'm proud of it, I'v been living in this country for the last 5 years and I really love it, it has gave me probably more opportunities that I could have had back in Mexico, but not all Mexican are bad people, and Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and all South America IS NOT MEXICO!!! stop generalizing!! America is the land of the freedom and we all want the "American Dream", besides that wasn't America created by Immigrants, just like your Great Grandpa?? then, what is the difference? There's probably more Italian blood in your veins then Mexican in mine! My culture it's beautiful, and I feel proud of it, I would never EVER forbid the language in my house because it would be feeling shame of your origins!. I get the idea of learning English, I'm 100% on it, we ALL the people who came to this country should learn it, but calling us DIRTY PEOPLE just for dreaming and working for a better lif e for our children is not fair!!! MAY BE YOU SHOULD ASK AROUND YOUR RELATIVES WHY DID YOUR GRAND GRANFATHER CAME HERE……iF IT WASN'T BECAUSE HE DREAM WITH A BETTER LIVE AND FUTURE FROM HIS CHILDREN, THEN I WILL APOLOGIZE, IF NOT…STOP CALLING US DIRTY MEXICANS!!, just don't forget, your Grand Grandfather WAS ILLEGAL AS WELL!!!!!!

      • ProudAmerican

        You are right…it is not good to generalize. Not all illegal immigrants are Mexican and not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants. I am glad you have found a better life here, but if I may ask, are you here legally? I, along with most Americans, are happy for others to come here to this country to become Americans and try to find a better life, but there is a legal way to do it…and those who do not follow that way are breaking the law. If you want to be in America, working in America and partaking in the good life that America provides, then you should learn the language and become an American citizen. If you have done that, then I commend you. As far as Gringosrule's great grandpa, he was probably not here illegally. Most immigrants back in that day came through Ellis Island, learned the language and actually became citizens. I know because my grandfather came here from Albania back in the 1920's.

    • Gwen

      GringosRule, you are not a real patriot but a liberal impostor. Your racism is too obvious. True patriots do not think badly of Latinos who come here the right way and just want to work hard and be part of the American dream. We just want the law followed and the violence to stop. The South is just as divided on this issue as the rest of the country so don't make generalizations about the South either. Half the people down here used to live up north.

    I love Arizona. I intend to travel there next year. Unfortunately I broke my femur last month and cannot do so immediately.

    I have contacted AZ’s Governor and expressed my support for this law, my intention to travel there and spend money.

  • Smarie

    I relocated here a year ago from CA. People there are just as mad about this (hey they're broke!)

    Would love to support local business and in and around the state.

    I have already started checking products when I go shopping to see where they were made. I would love to see a list of everyday items that one would buy when going grocery shopping; Milk bread, eggs paper products and so on…

  • Vivian Young

    I support all things Arizona! I lived in Southern Arizona for 13 years and consider it home even though I now live in TX. (And, no I did not move here looking for a better place.) I visit family there once or twice a year. Unfortunately, they live very near the border with Mexico. People living in that area have to contend with illegals coming across the border all the time. Arizona fought a similar battle as this over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. AZ residents voted it down as a State paid holiday. So the federal government threatened to cut off funding. Guess what? It was forced on the taxpayers. The same boycott threats were made then, too. Whatever happened to States’ rights?

    • ProudAmerican

      That's what happens when you take federal money…there are always strings attached. A state will get use to the money and then it is used as a carrot to manipulate. That is the reason why Sarah Palin would not accept the stimulus money and many states only accepted the dollars that had no strings attached.

  • Mark

    MAJORITY of americans support the enforcement of illegal immigration as Arizona is doing. We all need to show our support of Arizona by buying from their companies. Many are buying ARIZONA DIAMONDBACK baseball tickets online and donating them to charities which allows you to support Arizona and get a tax deduction at same time. GOOGLE ARIZONA COMPANIES and make every effort to buy from ARIZONA BUSINESSES. I plan to vacation in ARIZONA this summer to show my support and see the GRAND CANYON and HOOVER DAM and other sites.

  • Marcus

    This site is great, but I wish there were more details. More posts along the lines of Jackie's post which provided links to Arizona businesses. I'd love to actually travel there to support them, but its not in the cards for me. I'll have to just patronize an Arizona business from MA :(

  • Beverly

    I will support Arizona as best as I can from SC.

  • Dwain Russell

    I am really on board for this. Please come up with brands, sites and any methods that will assure us we are supporting Arizona with purchases. Rest assured, I will even pay more to make sure it is from Arizona. If anyone can come up with a list of goods please find a way to post it. I will check every brand on food products to try to buy only Arizona goods.

    Bless you all! I'm in Florida now but a former 25 years residnent of Southern Arizona, and will likely be back in the Old Pueblo before long.

    Look for….Pecans, pistashios, and even apples and melons. Then there's the wineries( hey! CA doesn't have a lock on the US production of wine!)….at least "we" used to have them….so add grapes. In dry ol'e AZ?…you betcha! And how about cotton? I know if any of you have read clothing lables, you might have seen…..PIMA cotton. Pima as in Pima county Arizona….named after native American lands here long before the white man (like me, except woman) got here.The state of Arizona should be emulated by other states….especially those NE liberal ones.

    Going to find a site with little AZ flags that I can send to family and friends all over "Our Wonderful United States of America!"
    GO ARIZONA!

  • Bill Smith

    The city of Austin, Texas, just joined in the AZ boycott. I live in Austin and will try not to spend money in my own city over there stupid AZ boycott.

  • Snarky

    I live in Los Angeles but am attempting to buy my stuff from Arizona to the extent that is practical. I got a mailbox in a UPS store and buy many day-to-day items online instead of spending the money here in Los Angeles. It would be helpful if there were an easy way to find Arizona business. I'm even buying some fencing in Arizona and they are going to drive over here and install it. Boycott California!

I am totally committed to supporting AZ. I can't believe the opinions being given without even reading and understanding a law that already exists on the federal level.

  • Larry

    I think the Americans that stand by Arizona, should take a weekend and NOT BUY CALIFORNIA. Do not go to the movies for a weekend, do not go to any sports activities, shut off the TVs for a weekend and use that time to reconnect with your families. Arizona should cut off the utilities to Calif for a weekend and see if they like it. If Calif want to dish it out, they have to accept the consequences. GO ARIZONA !!!!

    Being is Alaska, I shop on line weekly. A website that pulls together online outlets that ship to the 49th State of the USA would be awesome.

    Would you believe it…some vendors charge outlandish shipping/handling charges, say Alaska is overseas as if a foreign country. It is cheaper to ship to family in Lower 48, and reship to me. And I am not in a village or at all remote.

Now on little things like this we get to see the real intentions of what they all are…Therefore Becareful when you see one of them. And down with the people and political party that support's them from within.

  • mike smith

    i'm from ca and think the boycott of arizona companies is beyond idiotic. can't a state have their own laws without all sorts of outsiders trying to influence them? if i have a vacation opportunity i'd be happy to spend my buck there.

  • john t

    god bless Governor Brewer. Thank you for taking a stand!! Obama doesnt care about the illegals coming into our country. My mother and fathers family came here about the turn of the century. You bet your ass they waited at Ellis island patiently until it was time for them to be let go.

  • john bentley

    i will support Arizona by buying as many of their products as possible. The feds are worthless do nothings. they steal and waste our money and cause divison umong Americans based upon race and religion. they (the government) has insulted our allies and kissed the asses of our enemies. The so called leader of ours has Christmas orniments featuring chairman Mao the famous Chineese murderer. The executive branch is full of comunists and 5 th columnists bent on the distruction of our country.
    Back Arizona and govenor Jan Brewer!!!
    Boycott mexican products and any company who employs mexicans. get them out of the country.
