I've started to do some quick research to find large corporations either headquartered in Arizona, or doing a lot of business in Arizona. Here's a partial list, and I'll be a
dding to it. I began by checking the members of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry under the assumption that a corporation would join the Arizona Chamber of Commerce only if they did significant business in Arizona.
I'm listing some notable companies below. As is often the case, many of these companies have subsidiaries you might know better (for instance, Suncor Development Company has developed or manages many retail and office properties throughout the West). You should check up on them, and I'll try to fill this out as time goes on. I haven't picked out every member of the Chamber of Commerce; instead, I've focused on those businesses who also do business elsewhere and could be boycotted by people livingoutside the state of Arizona.
The partial list:
Americopy
Bank of America
Boeing
Intel
Sumco (manufacturer of electronics-grade silicon wafers)
US Airways
Wells Fargo Bank
Cox Communications
Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (owners of APS, APS Energy Services, Suncor Development Company, El Dorado Investment Company)
Southwest Gas Corporation
Cancer Treatment Centers of America
Raytheon
Arizona Cardinals
Corrections Corporation of American (not sure how you boycott that, but seemed worth adding.)
Ernst & Young
Goodrich Corporation (defense and aviation contractor)
NAIOP (a national commercial development trade organization)
Pfizer
Service Group of America (owner of Food Services of America, Systems Services of America, Amerifresh, Ameristar Meats, Development Services of America, Event Services of America

"I go with the more natural flow of the way I feel when I write and the way that life kind of falls out for me. Sometimes things are very explosive, but they don't go toward plot. They are just simply explosive. And, you know, it's just ... you get a BANG. You don't get resolution, you don't get peace, you don't get pacification in any regard. You don't even get extreme unction. It's just there, WOP. And then, life might move on quite differently." -- Barry Hannah (1942-2010), interviewed on Mississippi Public Television, 1984

The party is on Thursday, the reading is Friday. I'll be reading with Dave Griffith, Abraham Brennan, Oz Spies and Patrick Madden. And don't forget the Vermin on the Mount reading on Thursday before the Normal party.
