Craig supporters call for boycott of Minneapolis airport

BATTLE GROUND, Wash. -- Supporters of Sen. Larry Craig with the American Land Rights Association are calling for a boycott of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport.
The Battle Ground (Washington) based association says airport police who arrested the senator in a men's room sex sting are responsible for weakening private property rights in the West. Craig is a Republican member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The American Land Rights Association, which has an office in Washington, D-C, advocates for the use of federal lands and against what it calls federal "land grabs."
The association says the airport should apologize to Craig for what it calls "ambushing" the senator.
Craig is trying to withdraw his guilty plea in the Minnesota case, and if he can do that he would change his mind about resigning.
