Groups against Ariz. law plan 'civil disobedience'

PHOENIX — Groups opposed to Arizona's tough new immigration law are planning "civil disobedience" on July 29, the day the legislation takes effect.

The leaders of the groups say they'll hold a candlelight vigil at the state capitol in downtown Phoenix, march to a nearby church for a nondenominational service and then to the federal courthouse.

They declined to specify what the "civil disobedience" would be, but emphasized it will be nonviolent.

Alfredo Gutierrez, organizer with the group Somos America, says it will be acts of defiance and hope for the Hispanic community.

A federal judge could decide to block the new law from taking effect pending the seven legal challenges it currently faces. The groups say they will still demonstrate if that happens.

This would be a great time for the authorities to put into action the new law!

Hope that is all it gets these law-breaker lovers - a fast trip to jail.

Oh, yeah, just what we need, more defiance from the Hispanic community. That's one of the reasons I want them to just go home, the arrogance, defiance of our laws, and complete disrespect for our country and our laws.

Unbelievable arrogance! Let them keep tightening the noose around their own necks. We need to make sure there are plenty of camera's there to record this monumental mistake the demonstrators will be making.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of cameras there. We'll get to watch it on the news and there will be page after page of stories about the protestors just like always. I'm sure Wilcox and Sharpton will be at the candlelight vigil too.
