We will always remember your kind spirit buddy. Fly high with the angels my son.

This weekend the Republican Party of Virginia will be having a convention to choose their candidate for U. S. Senate. Our delegate Robert G. Marshall is running for that nomination.

I want to agree and add to Louis G. Dominguez’s Letter to the Editor “A missed point over hospital smoking policy.” Another point is about all the cigarette butts that smokers throw on the ground.

I am encouraged by the Prince William School Board’s consideration of “another view” about Math Investigations, from a member of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel.

Although Oscar Arrieta asks a fair question regarding global warming, his letter lacks credibility. By utterly ignoring science, Mr.  Arrieta has assumed a political position rather than a scientific one. One can draw their own conclusions only by looking at all of the facts.

Anna Neil missed the point by such a distance as to not even be in the same galaxy with it: “Finding ways to protect people from guns,” May 24.

Our home owner’s association fees are rising not because of increased costs but because our friendly banks are not paying their monthly fees on repossessed homes. Our neighborhoods are suffering blight not because of inattentive home owners but because our friendly banks are not maintaining their repossessed homes.

The sobriety checkpoint in Prince William County this Memorial Day weekend serves to funnel limited state and federal grant money away from measures that have proven to be most effective in combating drunk driving (“Police: DUI checkpoints in place this weekend,” May 23).

President Ronald Reagan left behind many wonderful legacies. One of those legacies was that he was a pioneer in the field of crime victims’ rights.

In that article, “Are we able to stop campus killers?” (April 13), Lt. Gen. Bruce M. Lawlor said “two things have to be focused on:  One is communication and the second is behavior.”

Changing the immigration resolution (or “strengthening” it as Mr. Stewart calls it) contradicts the very decision the Board of County Supervisors made when it chose to alter the terms of checking immigration status. 

As a college student home from the University of Connecticut, I was quite pleased to learn that ridership on VRE and Metro was up 12 percent and 8.5 percent over April last year.

When Gregg Reynolds (Thanks to all of those standing against hate, May 20, Potomac News) says that Greg Letiecq of Help Save Manassas “....goes on to assassinate the character of some members of our community,” he ought to pay more attention to his own words. What he offers in his most recent personal diatribe against Greg Letiecq is nothing more than an effort to shut down the debate about illegal immigration with hate and intimidation.

What in the world has gotten into the people who, on a daily basis, speed up and down residential streets? Not a day goes by that we don’t have cars, SUVs, school buses, garbage trucks, delivery trucks and service trucks speeding on Nassau Drive.

You missed the point entirely in your opinion article on May 19.

I had no idea that Prince William Hospital was up for sale again until last year. On October 10, 2007, Mr. Sam Bajaj from the Federal Trade Commission called me about Inova making a bid to buy out Prince William Hospital because of an op-ed I wrote opposing the last attempted sale.

This is in response to the article of Jeff Caswell Published on May 19, 2008.

Last week was not a good week for the right (holier than thou) wing of the Republican party. It began with Sen. John McCain’s favorite pastor, John Hagee, apologizing for having referred to the Catholic church as “the great whore.” Hagee expressed “deep regret”  that Catholics might have found his comments “hurtful.”

In June 2007, the Mexican Embassy set up a table at NOVA and issued passports and identification cards to its citizens already in this country.

The Manassas Community Chorale honored the memory of a Manassas native — Virginia Speiden Carper — with a concert of music by many of her favorite composers at The Manassas Baptist Church last night. 

I support Delegate Bob Marshall as he tries to secure the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Warner.

Mother nature seems to be sending us a message with all the eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes. The message is that we, 6.5 billion people, are guests here on earth and we don’t own the place. 

Barrack Obama has been compared to JFK for his youthfulness, soaring rhetoric and vision. However, I think a more apt comparison would be Jimmy Carter.

Today, I want to thank everyone in our community that helped to stand against the hate being perpetrated by Greg Letiecq’s Black Velvet Bruce Li blog.

Global warming is in the news now, though the reports only pay cursory attention to the issue, rarely if ever going deeper than the headlines.

What a bunch of racists — liberal Arlingtonians voicing concerns over the influx of illegal aliens from Prince William County at a recent County Board meeting.
