Performing some independent research

After reaching into my mailbox today and finding two “Fimian bashing” cards, I decided to do the research on my own. 

Hogging the spotlight in Prince William County

There goes Corey Stewart again, hogging the publicity spotlight, this time for the Home Help Program. 

No decision until all the facts are in

It was so appropriate for Corey Stewart, Chairman of Prince William Board of County Supervisors to respond to my recent letter since this item is not required to have a public hearing nor is staff required to bring it back before board for a vote, but, as I understand it, they wish to have the board’s blessing. 

Now is the time to move forward

Watching TV, wearing our Obama ’08 tee-shirts, my wife and I found ourselves being won over by John McCain last week as we watched the Saddleback Church forum. McCain looked pretty good. He
was clear, crisp, decisive, engaging, and humorous. 

September 11 is forgotten so fast

Have we forgotten? The seventh anniversary of 9/11 is fast approaching.

Obama character assassination

Mr. A. Vic Poillucci is back once again, assassinating the character of Senator Barack Obama.

Credit due to the newspaper staff

I came to Prince William County in the winter of 1996 and have seen many changes take place; this newspaper being one of those changes, who changed with the times. 

Where have all the flag pins gone

Remember when Barack Obama’s patriotism was questioned because he wasn’t wearing a flag pin?

Corey Stewart is at it again

Once again, Corey Stewart falsely claims ownership of a program started by another by stating the “Home Help Program” is another “First-In-The-Nation” proposal by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. 

PWC’s ‘plan’ and an out-of-touch BOCS

Prince William County is in the process of updating the “Strategic Plan” to lay out the long-term vision to the year 2012.  This will provide the strategies, objectives and outcomes in the areas of “Economic Development, Education, Human Services, Public Safety and Transportation.”

Exhorting people to slow down

I wanted to tell you a story. People are going too fast.

Be aware of the smear campaigns

Barack Obama’s roots are in Kansas, Illinois and Hawaii. He also earned a degree from Harvard Law School. 

Barack Obama — the post turtle

There is a saying going around that Barack Hussein Obama is a “post turtle.”

Don’t ignore the American majority

I find it frightening when I hear the person wanting to lead our country say Americans should learn to speak Spanish. 

Writer defends John McCain

I must defend my presidential candidate, Mr. John McCain, from the scurrilous attacks against his good character.

The high price to pay for ’free love’

As a child of the ‘60s, I remember all the talk about free love and the flower children made it look like everybody was doing it.

How do you know that gymnast is underage?

Concerned for the United States

Ms. Touchet’s commentary “Look beyond the lies, vote Barrack Obama,” provides interesting observations.

More information about Home Help Program

I would like to respond to Shirley Collins letter to the editor of Aug. 21, regarding the Home Help Program that the Board of County Supervisors is considering. 

Ignoring the needs of the disabled

I am writing this because lately I have been dealing with people who don’t care about the rights of the disabled. I am disabled and use a chair to get around.

More letters of substance please

Generally speaking I hope the newspaper starts printing letters that contain more substance than the ones that have been printed lately. 

What if McCain were a black man?

I have an interesting question to pose: “What if John McCain were a black man?” If John McCain were a black man, he wouldn’t have been raised by an admiral and given immediate access to the Naval Academy. His family in the ‘60s would have probably been enlisted. 

The kind of change that America needs

What is change? What is Obama talking about?

Elect leaders who understand our needs

Senator Jim Webb made “economic fairness” an important principle of his campaign. True to his word, he followed through for working Americans with his new GI Bill. 


August 22, 2008

Obama reveals his leadership potential

A recent Senator Obama statement tells it all regarding his lack of leadership potential.

Another laugh from Charles Reichley

I got a good laugh from Charles Reichley’s column of Aug. 14, but it left me with two questions that need to be answered: 

Proud but worried in the United States

I’m proud to be an American, but have serious worries about our nation’s future if Hollywood is allowed to continue to shape the minds of our young people. 

Fact checking and Jeff Frederick

I loved the editorial by the editors regarding fact checking before allowing any letter to be printed. False! 


August 21, 2008

One candidate has courage to speak truth

The Saddleback Civil Forum conducted between the Democrat and Republican presidential nominees provided both candidates with the opportunity to define themselves to the American public, undistorted by the bias of the major news media outlets. 

What has happened to Democratic process?

It is with much interest and dismay to continue to “study” the on-going directive of staff by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors to study a “Home Help Program” for PWC employees only.
