Sign our letter. Show Tom Campbell that Californians don't support Arizona's bigoted law

UPDATE: Tom Campbell responded to our letter. In his response, he continues to defend and justify SB 1070, Arizona's bigoted new immigration law. And now the Courage Campaign has responded to Campbell's new letter with a letter of our own.

Arizona -- the state that for years refused to recognize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday as a holiday -- is once again targeting people of color. Arizona's governor just signed SB 1070, a law which allows police officers to question anyone they believe to be in the country illegally based on nothing more than 'reasonable suspicions.'

And now this law could have a devastating impact on California as well. Republican Senate candidate Tom
Campbell -- who could face Sen. Barbara Boxer in November's election -- just came out in support of this
draconian new law that turns Arizona into a police state.

It's time for us to stand together and tell Campbell we won't accept his enabling of bigotry through racial profiling. Sign the Courage Campaign and the California Federation of Teachers letter to Tom Campbell and tell him you
won't let him take California down the dark path of racism that Arizona has followed.

Dear Tom Campbell--

Arizona has taken a step back into the dark ages of legalized discrimination with the signing of SB 1070. Already US citizens of Latino heritage from California have been targeted by Arizona police just because
of the color of their skin, and arrested because they didn't have a birth certificate on them.

We stand united against the Arizona law, and are outraged that you support it. We need fair and just
solutions to the immigration issue, not punitive laws that use racism to take away the rights of others.

We call on you to join us in opposing Arizona's bigoted law, and ask you to pledge you will never bring
that law to California.
