I’m writing in response to a letter from Gregg White. In your letter you stated that you were sitting in the drive through of your bank when you witnessed a PWC police officer doing his job.

We are the world, young and old, born and unborn.

Travel and tourism is vital to the prosperity of Prince William County/Manassas, Virginia. 

There seem to be some varying opinions among our county supervisors on what are the effects of the resolution on businesses coming to the county and on the perception of people outside the county on whether our county is racist. 

I’m privileged to represent the Town of Dumfries in the House of Delegates, and I’ve enjoyed working with the town’s leadership during my time in office to make Dumfries a better place to live, work and raise a family. 

Page A1 on Sunday had an article about the Virginia Tech shootings, “Are we able to stop campus killers?” by Rex Bowman and Michael Martz). Certainly good food for thought on the first anniversary of the rampage. 

As a Coles District resident, I supported Marty Nohe for supervisor when he ran for office more than four years ago and again last November. 

In response to George Kraus’ letter “Questioning the people we choose to mourn” — I belong to Weems Neighborhood Watch. I walk daily past a memorial to Victor Moreno Orosco near the spot where he died. I also walk past Landgreen Street where Khawaja Ahmed was killed in February.

For the nearly eight years I have resided in Manassas, I have endured the disregard of motorists who ignore the posted speed limit of 25 mph and treat residential streets as if they are motor speedways. 

Nancy West has excellent qualifications for a seat on the Dumfries Town Council. 

This letter is written in response to the Potomac News, op-ed piece of April 12, “Making things worse.”

The Greater Manassas Volunteer Rescue Squad is experiencing a period of transition. 

The abortion issue has been tallied about in the Potomac News by readers submitting their thoughts on the subject. I thought I’d add my own. 

Cliff Adelman, researcher for the Institute for Higher Education Policy, distinguished himself by putting faces to stats. He didn’t just report data. He told the stories behind the numbers.

An article appearing on the front page of the Washington Times (March 30) reads in part, “The splashy April 16th party — in celebration of the Pope turning 81 — is sponsored by the eight former and current U. S.Ambassadors to the Vatican. Several hundred people are invited.”

This is an exciting time for United States’ citizens.There is the possibility of electing our first female for president or a black American or a brave war hero! 

In an April 11 letter to the editor, David Lee attributes the arrest of 41 undocumented residents to the Prince William County resolution. 

Since there have been many new concerns over the way Prince William County has handled the so called immigration crackdown I suggest that the residents push for a new vote on the resolution and not just the people on the board.

Prince William County has many issues when it comes to animal welfare: a county shelter that is overrun with 8,000 animals a year, no low cost spay/neuter options, no humane education in our community and no dog parks for county residents.

The latest partisan screed of Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Prince William, “Moderate Democrats reveal their liberal agenda” demonstrates that he is very familiar with right-wing clichés, but is oblivious to his own record.

Finally, the first legitimate criticism of Barack Obama. 

I agree with Catherine Maddox and her April 12 letter to the editor. 

Am I the only person who notices the hypocrisy of the “illegal is illegal” anti-immigration crowd? 

One need only read the letters to the editor to see the level of divisiveness the illegal immigration issue has brought to the county. 

What an insulting letter by Mr. Scott C. Ecklin on April 13!

Gracias to the Chamber of Commerce, most churches and Prince William County Police Chief Charlie T. Deane for their continued support of illegal aliens. If

On Sept. 15, 2007, Robert Briscoe, a caucasian male, murdered Victor Moreno Orosco, a Hispanic male. Mr. Orosco was shot three times — in the chest, back, and arm. On April 2, 2007 Robert Briscoe was convicted of first degree murder. 

This is in response to Marsha Mercer’s April 7 column about John McCain.

Our Board of County Supervisors, the Prince William County Police Department and Neighborhood Services deserve special thanks for improving our quality of life, ensuring the safety of the citizens and improving our community.

I am amazed that those who disagree with Mr. Jacobsen would have him silenced; what an undemocratic and officious thought. Mr. Jacobsen has the courage of his convictions and he offers himself as a target for the tirades of those who would silence all but those who agree with their point of view.
