I never intended this website to be a political forum but SB1070 has rec'd international press (and been the butt of late night TV) so it definitely isn't just a local, Arizona thing. Displayed here is the eastern wall of the Rialto Theatre with the message to Tucson from the hip-hop band, Cypress Hill... pretty strong reaction, wouldn't you say?
The polls claiming a majority of Arizonans support the legislation are definitely flawed... the pollsters state that everyone they polled has "read the law." It's about 12 pages long so I doubt it! This is a divisive piece of legislation. I hope it prompts folks who normally don't vote to be more active in future elections. (And that, my friends, is the conclusion of my rant.)

Cypress Hill sucks anyway so you aren't missing anything.
