An immigration enforcement bill recently signed into law by its governor has triggered threats of boycotts and other forms of protest by groups that led an unsuccessful campaign calling for a veto. # A national group called Somos Republicans (whose name translates to “we are Republicans”) sent a letter to Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Company asking it stop contributing to elected officials who voted for Georgia’s immigration enforcement bill, which was signed into law last week by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal.
“„As more states pass anti-immigrant laws, we have no choice but to get more assertive with corporations who help isolationist politicians via political contributions. The Arizona Governor and now the Georgia Governor have signed harsh anti-immigrant laws where more families are going to be forced apart. We know who are behind these laws and it does not help when corporations such as Coca-Cola contribute to isolationist and restrictionist politicians. We have discovered that Coca-Cola has contributed over $60,000.00 to Georgia Republican affiliates, and over $40,000.00 more to individual Republican politicians who voted and supported the recent isolationist anti-immigrant law. WE ARE ASKING COKE TO STOP GIVING CONTRIBUTION$ TO ISOLATIONIST POLITICIANS for the sake of our suffering and hurting of Latin and other immigrant communities. #
