Christine made an awesome sign which many people took pictures of.
Once we got home though thinking about the whole thing just makes me incredibly sad. I know everyone in this state is not a racist. Everything about this bill just feels so racist to me. I'm just so over it.

I certainly don't pin this on all citizens of Arizona, no way. This craziness is certainly not just in Arizona and that is why we all need to deal with these issues across the US. Wing-nut bigoted tea-bag, birther zealots are in every state. Believe me, I am not a very proud Californian when it comes to the immigration issues and our own nut-cakes here. Just thankful that soon we will say good-bye to Arnold... but, I doubt brown will be elected. We will probably have the GOP techie billionare elected.. well, she is buying the election.... And we do have to get our buns out there and be heard. Thanks for going to that rally. It is important that you personally gave your support.
