A group of more than 50 locals plan to hop on a bus early Sunday to Phoenix where they will join others who are critical of Arizona's new immigration enforcement law.A law which interestingly enough mirrors Federal law (will the bus go on to protest in Washington?) AND California law (perhaps a stop in Sacramento would be in order).
Los Amigos – a group made up of Latino leaders in Orange County – organized the contingent of people to ride in what they call a solidarity bus.
The bus leaves at 4 a.m. from Anaheim, arriving in Phoenix by 11 a.m. The group will attend a church mass and then join others in the state capitol to rally with fellow protesters already there. The group plans to return to Orange County by midnight.
The bus is completely full and there is a waiting list of about 15 people, said Alfredo Amezcua, who helps lead the group.
"It's to show that many members of our community in Orange County ... one of the most conservative counties in Orange County not only care what's going on in other parts of the nation but also that SB1070 is, in our opinion, an issue of civil rights," Amezcua said in an earlier interview.
The solidarity bus is the latest attempt by local residents to showcase their feelings about the controversial law – the toughest and most controversial in the nation.
Wouldn't it be nice if ignorance wasn't such a common trait among the left?

Even if you don't like Glenn Beck, you should go read about the little flappette over the advertizement for his book, "The Overton Window".
The ad (they called it a "trailer"--I thought those were for movies) is a very dramatic reading of part of a poem with the words being read flashed up on the screen.
Ariana Huffington and her trained lap dogs attacked the poem. its content, its rhymes, its spelling, summarized with statements that indicate the author of the poem is completely without merit.
It is a textbook example of what I call "autohate" because (due to their total lack of meaningful education) they think Beck must have written it, when it is in fact a fragment of a poem by Nobelist (from back when that meant something) Rudyard Kipling.
I was going to point to an article on his site, but it appears to be under attack. Here is one that is pretty good: http://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2010/06/10/glenn-beck-the-gods-of-the-copybook-headings/
See if you can find his radio discussion of it because he has some interesting stuff about the use of "copybooks".
And if yu are of a religious persuasion that says there is no conceivable way Beck could have anything to say to you, listen to his speech at Liberty University a week or two back.
