I don't believe it

At a time when we should of been celebrating, we were grieving. Instead of bringing in a new year filled with joy and laughter, we were crying. At a time when we should of been welcoming things anew, we were saying goodbye to an angel.

Just hours before the new Arizona Immigration law would go into effect, a federal judge placed the heart of the law on hold.
