Hispanic News Calls for National Boycotts of AOL, Lou Dobbs and Kimberly
Clark

PHOENIX (U.S. Newswire) April 27, 2006 — Arizona Law and Education Center
chairman of the board Jon Garrido with grave consternation for the plight of
undocumented immigrants called today for the Ax KC boycott because of U.S. Rep.
James Sensenbrenner's sponsorship of HR 4437, which would turn 12 million
undocumented immigrants into felons, punish anyone guilty of providing them
assistance, and construct an iron wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Garrido
issued the following statement today:

"What most Hispanics/Latinos do not know is Congressman James Sensenbrenner
is heir to the family fortune of Kimberly Clark. It was his great grandfather
who invented the Kotex napkin which led to the beginning of Kimberly Clark.
Mr. Sensenbrenner continues as a stockholder of the company.

"Kimberly Clark manufactures some of the world's most recognized brands --
Little Swimmers, Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex, Depend, Poise,
Viva, and Cottonelle. Each purchase of any one of these products puts money in
Sensenbrenner's bank account from his stock holdings in the company.
"Sensenbrenner wants to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Now it our
turn to build a wall around the Kimberly Clark products with a 'Do Not Buy'
sign. We need to tell everyone here and in Latin America to boycott Kimberly
Clark products.

"The Ax AOL boycott is a strategy of getting rid of Lou Dobbs on CNN.

AOL and CNN are owned by Time Warner. Dobbs has a CNN theatrical show using
the pretext of journalistic unbiased reporting. The truth is Dobbs is the
number one cheerleader of all who want to fix 'Broken Borders,' code for bashing
the undocumented often using Sensenbrenner as a guest. If they had their way
they would round up the 12 million undocumented and deport them back to
Mexico and other countries of origin.

"May 1 is the official start of the Ax KC and Ax AOL boycotts. Please stop
buying Kimberly Clark products that benefit U.S. Congressman James
Sensenbrenner. Please tell everyone to stop using AOL so Time Warner ends the CNN Lou
Dobbs show."
