Rapper Pitbull Cancels Arizona concert in Protest of New Law; Why Other Aritists Should Take Note

Rapper Pitbull has pulled out of his concert in Arizona to protest the new immigration law that was passed
.  He explained himself on twitter.

"I am cancelling my concert in Phoenix on May 31… How is the country we enjoy and love bcuz (because) of its human rights, freedom, opportunity and that has been built by immigrants, now start 2 (sic) deny them?? …It is contradicting 2 everything the USA stands 4 (sic)."

We think more artists and entertainers should do this.  We should not support a state that openly discriminates against its own citizens.  America is a wonderful land full of diverse people and so many freedoms others wish they had.  Why is it that we always look for ways to take these freedoms and opportunities away from each other.  Did you know that 10 other states are also considering an Arizona-like immagration law?  Those of us Americans who usually do not participate in politics should let our voices be heard because ignorace is taking over our country and it is time to reclaim it back!
