Changing the immigration resolution (or “strengthening” it as Mr. Stewart calls it) contradicts the very decision the Board of County Supervisors made when it chose to alter the terms of checking immigration status. 

What in the world has gotten into the people who, on a daily basis, speed up and down residential streets? Not a day goes by that we don’t have cars, SUVs, school buses, garbage trucks, delivery trucks and service trucks speeding on Nassau Drive.

When Gregg Reynolds (Thanks to all of those standing against hate, May 20, Potomac News) says that Greg Letiecq of Help Save Manassas “....goes on to assassinate the character of some members of our community,” he ought to pay more attention to his own words. What he offers in his most recent personal diatribe against Greg Letiecq is nothing more than an effort to shut down the debate about illegal immigration with hate and intimidation.

As a college student home from the University of Connecticut, I was quite pleased to learn that ridership on VRE and Metro was up 12 percent and 8.5 percent over April last year.

You missed the point entirely in your opinion article on May 19. 

In June 2007, the Mexican Embassy set up a table at NOVA and issued passports and identification cards to its citizens already in this country. 

Last week was not a good week for the right (holier than thou) wing of the Republican party. It began with Sen. John McCain’s favorite pastor, John Hagee, apologizing for having referred to the Catholic church as “the great whore.” Hagee expressed “deep regret” that Catholics might have found his comments “hurtful.”

This is in response to the article of Jeff Caswell Published on May 19, 2008.

I had no idea that Prince William Hospital was up for sale again until last year. On October 10, 2007, Mr. Sam Bajaj from the Federal Trade Commission called me about Inova making a bid to buy out Prince William Hospital because of an op-ed I wrote opposing the last attempted sale. 

Today, I want to thank everyone in our community that helped to stand against the hate being perpetrated by Greg Letiecq’s Black Velvet Bruce Li blog. 

Barrack Obama has been compared to JFK for his youthfulness, soaring rhetoric and vision. However, I think a more apt comparison would be Jimmy Carter. 

Mother nature seems to be sending us a message with all the eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes. The message is that we, 6.5 billion people, are guests here on earth and we don’t own the place. 

I support Delegate Bob Marshall as he tries to secure the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Warner.

The Manassas Community Chorale honored the memory of a Manassas native — Virginia Speiden Carper — with a concert of music by many of her favorite composers at The Manassas Baptist Church last night. 

Global warming is in the news now, though the reports only pay cursory attention to the issue, rarely if ever going deeper than the headlines.

It is my understanding that the Virginia Department of Health has “hired” a company to survey people in Virginia regarding health issues. 

Those of us that vote in the 11th Congressional District will elect a new Congressman in November. To deal with our growing domestic problems and to help redirect our foreign policy, we need strong, progressive leadership in this position. 

What a bunch of racists — liberal Arlingtonians voicing concerns over the influx of illegal aliens from Prince William County at a recent County Board meeting.

Joanne Koenig Coste, a nationally recognized Alzheimer’s expert and the author of the groundbreaking book, “Learning to Speak Alzheimer’s,” sent the following comments upon hearing of the Board of County Supervisors’ decision to close the Manassas Senior Day Program.

Without any law enforcement in sight, motorists continue to ignore posted speed limits throughout the City of Manassas.

I am led to believe that many of our old people are not being given the compassion and kindness that they richly deserve and desperately need. People need to realize that growing old is probably the greatest of all challenges. Thoughtful and kind people can make it less difficult.

Recently, editions of the Manassas Journal Messenger and the Washington Post carried a one page ad paid for by the Prince William Hospital and Inova, again promoting the merger of the two institutions.

It is appreciated the article that Mr. Scarton wrote regarding the George Mason University Performing Arts Center. However, how, in good faith, can Prince William County “cough up” $26,400,000 in these acknowledged hard times for citizens?

After reading today’s opinion piece from The (Waynesboro) News Virginian, (Borrowers beware of government’s hand), I just had to chime in.

Mr. Pineda continues to rant about a lot of issues and topics most of which are not related to today’s illegal alien situation. 

It was of great disappointment and deep hurt that the Prince William Board of County Supervisors (7-1) decided to rezone 152 acres of A1, agricultural land to Planned Business District in the Bristow and Brentsville community of agricultural, historical and residential living — especially as their appointed planning commissioners were completely in denial of this rezoning. 

When I read Mr. Bradish’s April 29 letter, I was surprised that he had used another person’s quotation. Namely “What are we going to do about the foreigners trespassing in our country.” I believe that statement came from Geronimo or Sitting Bull; maybe Powatan. 

My husband and I had the honor to help campaign and work the polls for Kermit Dance.

I am writing to express my disfavor with the vote cast by the Board of County Supervisors, in favor of closing down the Manassas Senior Day Program.
