Prescott, AZ. Racism busted by Tweets, FB and bloggers.

To everyone who reTweeted, posted on FB or blogged, nice job.

The former mayor of Prescott is demanding that the racist councilman resign. He’s been flooded with emails.

I spend 5-6 hours yesterday on Twitter trying to do “damage control” that resulted from the remarks of Councilman Steve Blair on the Miller Valley School “Going Green” mural. Yesterday was a firestorm of bad publicity for Prescott and it was worldwide.

Several major newspapers, including the Arizona Republic, USA Today, Washington Post, etc. picked up the story of the mural. The story was also picked up by the Associated Press which means up to 1,000 papers could reprint the story. And it made the 5:00PM news on channel 12!

Many of the most influential Internet blogs also picked up the story, including The Huffington Post, The Daily Kos, etc. The Twitterverse has been super active and I have replied to a hundreds of Tweets to try to protect Prescott’s image.

Steve, you have sullied the image of Prescott worldwide.
