Shameful decisions in Prince William County

I do hope many read the article, “Sights to see ... so close to home,” along with the elegant scene of the restored Brentsville courthouse featured in the July 13 edition of the Potomac News &  Manassas Journal Messenger.

Removing North Korea from list is wrong

Why has North Korea been removed from the list of terror nations?

Approval rating tells truth about Congress

If the top 10 most effective people in Congress are Democrats, and the Democrats control both houses of Congress, why is the Congressional approval rating in single digits and falling? (I guess it’s the Republicans fault.)

How effective are the Democrats really?

Could Mr. Gary Jacobsen be any more disillusioned? Mr. Jacobsen, before you go out bashing Republican Congressmen please keep this in mind: the current Congress is controlled by the Democrats. Here are just a few examples of what the “effective” Democrats are all about.

ODS makes the community safer

This is in response to a recent letter by C. P. Brothers III.

Attack on Bush was inappropriate

How truly sad and ironic that in the the days surrounding celebration and commemoration of the principles and ideals on which our nation was founded, we are assailed by a rude partisan critique and politicization of the presence of our president at the naturalization ceremony at Monticello.

The inequities of no-fault divorce

Another routine edict has been cast at the court house. It’s that proverbial act known as no-fault divorce, where equal parenting time gets less scrutiny than applying for a Virginia fishing license.

Does Obama have a chance in Virginia?

I found your editorial, “A fighting chance for Obama in Virginia?” quite interesting.

Kaine swings and misses — 98 times

Del. Jeff Frederick comments on the recent special session on transportation.

A sarcastic thanks for clearing our community

I am a 17-year-old caucasian girl who has lived in Manassas my whole life.

Great article deserves a front-page spot

Saturday’s article about DeCarol Davis, the first black female valedictorian of the Coast Guard Academy, who by the way, graduated from a local high school, Forest Park, did not make it to the front page of the Potomac News

Our future in using our fuel effectively

It is fairly clear that in the near future there will not be enough gas and oil to supply the world’s “need.” However, instead of addressing this problem head-on, we are trying to build more roads (to “solve” traffic gridlock) and to search for new fields of gasoline and oil (to “decrease” price of fuel at the pumps).

Enough lecturing from Mr. Angsten

Joe Angsten should not be lecturing Democrats about “competence” in government and his resistance to Obama’s call for “change.”

Help was there when I needed it

I wish to thank Dr. Bukzin D.D.S. and staff for helping me in a time of need.

County traffic solutions are being shortchanged

Much is being made of the cost of the recent General Assembly special session where transportation solutions would have helped residents of Prince William County, and I agree that it is absolutely unconscionable for our representatives to take $120,000 in taxpayer money to accomplish nothing on this all-important issue.

The inspiration of Old Dominion Speedway

Mr. Brothers III, have you ever heard of “Grandfather Clause?”

Outward expressions don’t make a patriot

Over the years I have read with occasional interest the rantings and ravings written by Mr. Vic Poillucci. I had hoped that aging would have produced better results but his recent letter berating the patriotism of Barack Obama is hog-wash and a bird-call — cheep, cheep and cheep.     

George Bush is a sorry president and man

The front page story “Reaction Positive to Webb’s G.I. Bill” in the July 2 Potomac News was a fitting tribute to Sen. Jim Webb, who worked diligently for 18 months to get the bill through Congress.

The absurd acts of the PWCSA

How absurd it is for the Prince William County Sewer Authority to even mention cutting the water off or expecting payment for their not-so-bright mistake.

A few last words from Mrs. Teets

Sandi Teets sets the record straight on her name and location.

A commendation and a criticism

DeCarol Davis deserved to be on the front page of the newspaper

Higher education, loans, student rights

While the media has been covering the student loan “crisis,” advertising the fears of the banking industry that they will be put out of business by the newest market and government trends, few people are continuing to discuss issues from the student borrower side.

Relief at mental help for brother

After years of trying to seek help for my mentally ill brother, I was so relieved when I heard the news that effective July 1, the mental health system was changing to make it easier to get help for the mentally ill.

Letter publication helped spread smear

Newspaper tries to be fair, but it messed up big time with letter on Obama according to this letter writer.

PWC scores not lowest in Virginia

It is hard to understand the motivation for the “Only in P.W. County” editorial cartoon of July 11.

If you don’t like the racetrack, then leave

This letter is in response to the letter written by C.P. Brothers III in the July 10 issue of this paper.

Obama lie travels across the world

A. Vic Poillucci’s letter to the editor (published on July 11) questioned Senator Obama’s patriotism and quoted as proof a statement by him that, among other things, suggested he would be willing to accept “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” as a substitute for our National Anthem.

A lie repeated often enough is believed

There is a saying political mudslingers believe in completely. It goes like this: “Repeat a lie often enough and it will be believed.” On July 11, the Potomac News printed a letter from A. Vic Poillucci, (On Barack Obama and patriotism) that repeats a LIE which has been floating around the Internet for months.

Writer corrects record on sense of humor

Sandi Teets, not satisfied with her attempt to besmirch the good name of Senator Barack Obama, has now decided that I do not have a sense of humor because I did not think her “sarcastic” opinion letter was funny, “Ha, Ha.”
