Outraged over Georgia's execution of convicted killer Troy Davis, filmmaker Michael Moore has urged a boycott of the entire state.

"I encourage everyone I know to never travel to Georgia, never buy anything made in Georgia, to never do business in Georgia," he wrote on his Web site.

He said he would ask his publisher to remove his recently-published memoir, "Here Comes Trouble," from Georgia bookstores.

"And if they won't do that I will donate every dime of every royalty my book makes in Georgia to help defeat the racists and killers who run that state," he wrote.

A 2002 photo of Davis with his mother is posted next to Moore's statement.

"I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia," Moore wrote.
