BOYCOTT UPDATE
This is a post by RED from Scared Monkeys.
His comments are in blue:
According to the AP, Alabama Governor Bob Riley has sent 49 letters off to the other United States governors to have them back his boycott of Aruba. Gov. Bob Riley has sent letters to the 49 other American governors, urging them to join him in a boycott of Aruba on behalf of the family of missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, but it’s unclear how many governors will support the move.
It had been reported earlier this week that Riley was slow to follow up on his initial statement of calling for a boycott. Many of his fellow governors had yet to hear about the boycott except through emails and the general public. What else would one expect from politicians?
“We’ve gotten a few e-mails form constituents, but we haven’t rece ived anything form Gov. Riley at this point,” said Kempthorne’s office. “Our hearts go out to that family…had heard Gov. Riley would be contacting other governors … and haven’t heard from him,” said North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven’s office.
Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack’s office said, “As far as I know we haven’t taken any action on that and don’t plan to.” (WHAT AN ASS!!!)
This is just like any issue. Politicians will not do anything unless their respective emails are filled and phones are rang off the hook. Remind them who they work for.
The letter that Governor Riley sent out requesting support stated the following:
Riley, in his letter sent Friday, said Aruban authorities are no longer communicating with Holloway’s family and are not providing information about the status of the investigation. “There can be no other conclusion: the Aruban government is not taking this investigation as seriously as it should,” Riley said. The governor said Aruban authorities have not shown they can be trusted with the safety of Americans.
“I’m asking that you join us in this effort and urge your citizens to avoid traveling to Aruba at this time,” Riley said. “Hopefully, this boycott will cause the Aruban people themselves to demand that their officials conduct this investigation in a more careful, thorough and appropriate manner.”
WON'T ANYONE LISTEN OR TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY? I SMELL A FOUL STENCH OF CORRUPTION AND POSSIBLE POLITICAL PAYOFFS

GET LOST!!!WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO TELL A SOVEREIGN NATION HOW TO RUN THEIR AFFAIRS.ARUBA IS NOT ONE OF THE STATES OF THE US,INCASE YOU DO NOT KNOW.YPOU DONT LIKE THEM STOP SENDING YOUR PARTY CRAZY KIDS THERE BUT LEAVE THEM ALONE
You've obviously missed the entire bus on this one. You don't 'get' the main point, do you? Always have to play the race card thing. Pathetic. Learn to comprehend!!! Did they not teach you that in school, or were you sick that day?
PS--Go ahead and go to Aruba! I'm not telling you what to do. But if something happens to you or anyone you love down there, then we'll see who's crying then. Don't bother with the police, they won't help you.
Sovereign nation? I believe you belong to the Netherlands, idiot.
And believe me...we are stopping our kids from coming down there, just like you asked...we will be leaving you alone. Don't you worry. You'll be ALL ALONE very soon.
for your own information I am an american citizen residing in Philly and calling me an idiot is a reflection of your small mindedness,insulting any one who does not see things your way.It is a fact Aruba is a sovereign nation and no matter what you say and do there are over 65.25% of Americans who sympathise with the Holloways but do not hold the nation of Aruba accountable or try to hold them at ransom,wanting them to name Natalie's killers without any tangible evidence As for the race card I am black and am aware of how my fellow men are treated compared to my white country men.I am going to Aruba so are many of my black friends (those who can afford it )I am not sinking low to your level of insults .I respect your position accept mine without losing it!!!! Natalie is not the only missing person and every family deserves the attention and fury you and your padres have been showing on this case or are some people mare equal than others????
