When you attempt to label a fellow citizen a “Hate Filled Racist” you have lost the debate.

Columnist Cal Thomas calls Barack Obama a “polar opposite of John F. Kennedy,” (“Obama: See No Evil” May 30) for contemplating negotiations with unfriendly nations.

Why has the City of Manassas started ticketing cars in the lot across the tracks from the Thursday Farmers Market?

What is the fuss about this wall on Liberty street? I pass it every day and I never see any trash. Maybe the lawn could be cut, but other than that there is nothing wrong.

Americans always course correct concerning their presidents. 

I was delighted to read about the new policy that was adopted by Prince William Hospital, banning smoking anywhere on hospital property.

I’d like to thank all the firefighters from the Nokesville Fire Department and the responding units from other stations.

I love Manassas; it has been home to me since 1964. I have worked as a nurse in this area for 32 years. I also have a heart condition.

An upcoming graduate of Prince William County Schools recently told me he was trying to find a summer job, without any success.

I would like to comment on Cal Thomas’s article “Obama: See No Evil.” The point of Thomas’s article is that evil should not be handled diplomatically but aggressively stamped out.

This letter highlights Congressman Frank Wolf’s accomplishments in responding to constituent, community support, protection and government program service delivery needs.

America needs to use “real-politics” that is based on military force and diplomacy, working together since neither work effectively alone. 

The City of Manassas and Prince William County have suffered a great loss.

Trying to be more green-minded, I’ve recently taken to the road on my bicycle. I’m quite a sight: pregnant mom pulling a trailer with two tots.

I feel oppressed and discriminated against by the people of Prince William County. It’s not what you’re thinking. I’m a native-born citizen of the United States. What I’m referring to is that I drive a car without a license, registration and insurance; I’m an undocumented driver.

I’ve heard a group is trying to form an Advisory Board for the Prince William County animal shelter. Unfortunately, I’ve also heard the Board of County Supervisors, shelter and the police department have been less than supportive.

With the retirement of the incumbent, those of us voting in the 11th Congressional District will elect a new Congressman this year. Given the domestic problems facing Northern Virginia and the international problems facing the United States, we need a Congressman who understands these problems and with the experience, energy, integrity, vision, intelligence and effectiveness to make a difference.

Our supervisors and county government are taking positive steps to ensure that Prince William County is a hate free zone.

A Proclamation dated November 21, 2006, issued by the Board of County Supervisors and signed by Chairman Corey A. Stewart proclaiming November, 2006 as National Family Caregivers Month in Prince William County hangs on the wall in the Manassas Senior Day Program.

In response to the letter from Sarah Longwell that was published in the “Letters to the Editor” section of the Potomac News on May 26, the Prince William County Police Department would like to address several points raised by Ms. Longwell.

Drunk drivers kill innocent people, sometimes, entire families.  DUI checkpoints conducted by the county police are not only a deterrent for some drinkers, but also serve to nab all manner of scofflaws.

The state of our economy has many of us concerned about the future.

After reading the article “Liberty wall: A fitting symbol,“ I must say Charles Reichley did an outstanding job!

On a Holland America cruise line traveling up a section of Alaska, I didn’t know what to expect beforehand. Overall, it was a majority geriatric (“retired”) cruise with only a minority of young people including infants and children.

There is an elephant in the room in this year’s presidential campaign. It is experience and John McCain has got it.

The reference to the Supreme Court of the United States as “The gang of nine” in the first paragraph of the editorial was highly disrespectful and completely out of line.

In this day and age we seldom hear “feel good” stories.

So old “Blue Eyes” has now gotten honorable congressional recognition by having his own commemorative postage stamp, as well as having previously been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Marshall, Republican for U.S. Senate. Knowing that I wanted to get involved in politics and that I would be turning 18 before the elections, he told me about how I could become a delegate at the Virginia Republican Convention on May 31.

I’m voting for Judy Feder on June 10.
