- When the Arizona vote took place against MLK b-day, the opposition
- was ready the *immediately* with a boycott. And it was not
- just black organizations who went in on it. In the case of Louisianna,
- the 'opposition' was just about the entire country, and the threats
- were in place well before the vote even occured. In the case of
- Colorado, it's very much a one group thing, and that group is divided.
- And it's been a couple of weeks since the vote. And there is still
- no coherent 'Word from Above' on the status of this 'boycott.'
