7 Things Arizona Could do to Reboot their Image


Arizona has many negative overtones to it. It's known as the state of bigots, skinheads, racists, thieves, hate groups, teabaggers, uber-conservatives and failed beauty queens.

In years, Arizona has been the epicenter of mess. Remember the MLK holiday drama, SB 1070 and the Obama ASU debacle? After the Giffords shooting, Arizona has a mega mess to clean. So to be nice, I will offer 7 ways Arizona could reboot their image.
  1. Bring back ethnic studies in schools. Removing this from schools confirmed the belief that 'White is Right'. Students need to learn about the growing number minorities moving to the state.
  2. Change the immigration laws. Nothing more to say about that.
  3. Improve your largest university, ASU. Make the college it a top school. Set standards and push to produce top notch education powerhouse.
  4. Challenge the ultra-conservative image you have embraced. For reason, Arizona is proud of this image, I think it's time to change that. Again, minorities are growing in the state. Sooner or later that image will be changed with or without their blessing.
  5. Be aware of the Hate Groups harboring in the state. They have way too many groups living there. It's time to publicly denounce them and put them out.
  6. Reduce the pro-gun laws in the state. There's no need to carry guns in church or in parks. It is ridiculous.
  7. Remove Jan Brewer.

Brewer isn't going anywhere anytime soon. She was re-elected by a 2-1 margin so she's got a ton of supporters.

It's archaic and a state behind the times!
