May 18 to 24 is Dog Bite Prevention Week. One way to create a dangerous dog is to chain it to a tree or doghouse and leave it to pace the same patch of dirt for years on end. 

Although Prince William County has finally approved the base rate percentage of the upcoming real estate tax, most taxpayers are not aware or conscious about the four other segments of fees (another form of taxes) that are attached to the annual real estate tax. 

Hats off to the owner and staff of Okra’s for a wonderful jazz(blues)fest recently. There was great music, food, crafts and activities for the kids.

My mother in law lives on East Longview Drive in Woodbridge and I am over there almost every day and it is absolutely ridiculous at the traffic they way they run up and down that street.

In reference to a May 7 Potomac News article written by William Westhoff titled “Frank Principi is the hero of PWC,” in which Mr. Westhoff referred to “many obnoxious citizens.”

In Wednesday’s edition, the Potomac News had three letters about illegal immigration.

I would like to thank all of those who supported me on May 6 in my campaign for Dumfries Town Council.

The more the media attacks Barack Obama while giving a pass to Hillary “NAFTA” Clinton and John “100 Years” McCain, the more convinced I become that Obama is the real thing. 

Gary Jacobsen’s column “You, too, can be a columnist” in the May 6 addition of the Potomac News is right on target.

Stephen Hawking is a world renowned theoretical physicist whose work on black holes in the universe and his discovery of “Hawking Radiation” whose ideas or observations have extended beyond theoretical physics. I first saw this on the Larry King show where he was interviewed.

On Sunday, I attended the first concert of the newly formed Dominion Symphony Orchestra and the concert was wonderful. 

Those against illegal immigration, starting today, boycott all Mexican products, including our food, beer, tequila and our labor. 

I do not normally feel the need to join in the discussion here, but Michael Hogan’s letter on May 7 gave me a brilliant idea.

There is a new and extremely rare jewel in the crown of Prince William County in the form of the new Dominion Symphony Orchestra of Prince William, which gave its inaugural concert to a capacity crowd Sunday, May 4 at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Woodbridge.

The Commonwealth of Virginia will hold a public hearing on the downsized six-year transportation plan. The recent Virginia Supreme Court decision eliminates funding sources for the Northern Virginia Transit Authority.

I disagree with Mr. Jerome C. Burchard’s opinion piece published in the April 26 edition of this paper.

Common sense prevails at the U.S. Department of Transportation. The feds have now approved the subway extension to Dulles Airport. This decision should have been a “slam dunk” since Northern Virginia has the second worst traffic congestion in the nation.

In light of Mr. Stewart’s recent actions to solicit support from the public for his “rule of law” resolution, I would like to encourage the board to be vigilant about getting the facts concerning immigrants in Prince William County. 

I am so sorry Prince William became such wimps. It was great to know someone was actually trying to help true Americans, not the illegals who are sucking the life out of this once great country.

Last Thanksgiving Day, this newspaper published a column from one of our regular writers titled “Give thanks to the troops.” The gist of the column was that “giving thanks to our troops” meant anyone who opposed sending our troops to Iraq, for the privilege of getting killed or wounded, was accused of being a traitor.

There is a new, heroic person in our community — Supervisor Frank Principi of Woodbridge. 

I read with disgust the article concerning the sidewalk on Old Bridge road. 

On behalf of the employees of the City of Manassas Fire and Rescue services, and the members of the IAFF Local 4466, we want to thank all who spoke out in our favor during recent public hearings. 

I grew up white and Puerto Rican in an all black neighborhood.  Based on that experience, let me give some advice to Mr. Clinton: when you are not of a particular race or community, don’t ever get too comfortable with your position within that community.

Supposedly, Pennsylvania had approximately 4 million Democrat eligible voters, yet approximately 2,301,000, or about 58 percent voted. 

A letter written by George Kraus, entitled “Orwellian update from Prince William County” appeared on this page on April 27.  Mr. Kraus referred to Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart as Obergruppenführer, and said he was using the Prince William County police force “...as his own personal brown-shirt militia.”

I feel sorrow for the D.C. Madam.
I know prostitution is wrong.

I’m glad that Steve Halleman thinks that Frank Principi is such a Godsend to this county. Since Mr. Halleman thinks so much of Principi he should try and contact him by any means of his choosing and let us know how that works out for him. He also needs to read and pay attention to Steve Bradish’s comments. I agree with him wholeheartedly. 

Instead of this paper’s concern over waivers for those who have committed felonies, maybe the paper should ask where do all the brave men and women in our armed forces come from. 

Good gosh, give it a rest. Your editorials are getting sillier by the day. I rarely write these letters, but the latest in a long line of vitriolic editorials (“Stand up before it’s too late,” April 7) by the Potomac News prompted me to pick up my pen.
