Hispanic News Calls for National Boycotts of AOL, Lou Dobbs and Kimberly Clark

PHOENIX (U.S. Newswire) April 27, 2006 — Arizona Law and Education Center chairman of the board Jon Garrido with grave consternation for the plight of undocumented immigrants called today for the Ax KC boycott because of U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner's sponsorship of HR 4437, which would turn 12 million undocumented immigrants into felons, punish anyone guilty of providing them assistance, and construct an iron wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Garrido issued the following statement today:

"What most Hispanics/Latinos do not know is Congressman James Sensenbrenner is heir to the family fortune of Kimberly Clark. It was his great grandfather who invented the Kotex napkin which led to the beginning of Kimberly Clark. Mr. Sensenbrenner continues as a stockholder of the company.

"Kimberly Clark manufactures some of the world's most recognized brands -- Little Swimmers, Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Depend, Poise, Viva, and Cottonelle. Each purchase of any one of these products puts money in Sensenbrenner's bank account from his stock holdings in the company.

"Sensenbrenner wants to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Now it our turn to build a wall around the Kimberly Clark products with a 'Do Not Buy' sign. We need to tell everyone here and in Latin America to boycott Kimberly Clark products.

"The Ax AOL boycott is a strategy of getting rid of Lou Dobbs on CNN. AOL and CNN are owned by Time Warner. Dobbs has a CNN theatrical show using the pretext of journalistic unbiased reporting. The truth is Dobbs is the number one cheerleader of all who want to fix 'Broken Borders,' code for bashing the undocumented often using Sensenbrenner as a guest. If they had their way they would round up the 12 million undocumented and deport them back to Mexico and other countries of origin.

"May 1 is the official start of the Ax KC and Ax AOL boycotts. Please stop buying Kimberly Clark products that benefit U.S. Congressman James Sensenbrenner. Please tell everyone to stop using AOL so Time Warner ends the CNN Lou Dobbs show."
