>> I hope the boycott of Arizona doesn't hurt the conference; I already heard of one that has been canceled, and another that was moved because of the backlash against the Arizona state government.<<
Naturally I am hopeful it won't affect Southwest Fox too. Which conference was canceled? I know of an Immigration Lawyers Association fall conference that was canceled as it is related to the industry in question. I guess there are 5 others not mentioned by name, and I don't see if the reason was the boycott or other business reasons. Canceling a conference costs real money so these decisions cannot be done in haste, especially when this controversy is barely wet behind the ears, and the legal challenges have not been raised. Polls show that people actually favor the law. I am hopeful that intelligent people should understand boycotting the state does not affect the politicos who make the rules, and it really only hurts the people they are trying to allegedly help. Boycotting the state will hurt the tourism, specifically hotel and catering industries and the many people who are "targeted" by the legislation who serve as employees in those industries. Ironic, I know.
