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. The below video helps all people better understand exactly what Greg and the contributors to his blog think about our immigrant brothers and sisters and their children.

I consider Greg a dangerous man and his blog and extremist nativist organization (according to the Southern Poverty Law Center) a serious threat to our community. First he creates his hate filled blog, then he goes on to assassinate the character of some members of our community, then he helps create an extremist nativist organization and becomes its president, then he links up with the
Immigration Reform Law Institute and asks Michael Hethmon (who worked for many years as a staff attorney for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a hate group according to the Southern
Poverty Law Center) to write the first draft of the Prince William County anti-illegal immigration resolution, then he asks Vice-Chairman John Stirrup to sponsor the resolution which Stirrup gladly does.
Greg has been the catalyst and perpetrator of this hateful costly behavior from the beginning and he enjoys bragging about much of this in his recent Front Line newsletter.
A few years ago Prince William County passed a resolution declaring it to be a hate free zone. I endorse our supervisors for having the courage to stand against the hate being perpetrated in Letiecq’s blog.
Two weeks ago the supervisors voted to change the resolution. An important vote that opened the door for healing to begin in our community. Since then, at least one supervisor has received serious threats as a result of the changes that were made to the resolution. Intimidation and hate are powerful forces that can be used to shape public policy if we stand by and let it happen. Again, I applaud our supervisors and county government for their courage to stand against this ugly behavior and I challenge other members of our community to do the same, especially our houses of worship and business
community. NOT IN OUR TOWN!
