Bull Run Mountain - Noose Found Hanging Outside Home

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

According to News Channel 8, a noose was found hanging outside the home of a family that lives on Bull Run Mountain.  Reportedly, they believe they are the only African-American family in the neighborhood.  Will the County Board of Supervisors ever realize their actions have emboldened these radical hate-mongers?  The welcome mat they removed from the illegals appears can now be found at the door of the KKK. 

Foreign Invasion versus Peaceful Migration

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

(These are the latest videos from the 9500Liberty series. See the faces of those who are deciding the future of Prince William County. - promoted by EricByler)

These two videos are companions. Speakers refer to each other’s comments. Taken alone, these videos suggest that there were more speakers in favor of the controversial resolution, however, there were more people speaking against the resolution over all. During the first few hours, the tally was even, but during the last several hours the ratio was 8-2 against the resolution. These videos also suggest that all Caucasians were for the resolution. In fact they were evenly split, as our next video will show.

For Corey Stewart/John Stirrup Anti-Illegal Immigration Resolution:
Foreign Invasion

Against Anti-Illegal Immigration Resolution:
Peaceful Migration

Very funny post on YouTube, “If it’s the illegals who are responsible for 9/11, he wants to know if can we now leave IRAQ?”

Stewart Stew

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

It appears Corey Stewart has put gotten himself into some really hot water.  Whether or not he is able to emerge unscathed is yet to be seen but it’s not looking good.  Stewart has used $31,000 from a board discretionary fund for what appears to be a campaign advertisement.  The wording on the mailer matches his singular campaign message ‘fighting/cracking down on illegal immigration’ and appears to be targeted because not all county residents have received it and it comes within 30 days of an election cycle.

Here is the text of the flyer.

[Update:  The flyer was originally suspected to be ‘targeted’ but upon further investigation it was found to have been sent to all Prince William County Residents’.]

Budget shortfalls, the housing market & the immigration resolution

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Prince William County has released their budget forecast for the next 5 years.  According to a Potomac News article, ‘Real estate tumble could force tax increase‘, fiscal year 2009 is short $51.7 million, 2010 is short $79.5 million and in 2011 the shortage is estimated to be $108 million.  These deficits can be directly attributed to the decline in the real estate market which has been exacerbated by the immigration resolution.  According to a Washington Post article, ‘ Pr. William Immigration, Housing Ills Seen as Linked ‘:

“If I’m not welcome somewhere, I’m going to sell my house,” said Jose Luis Semidey, a real estate agent whose business in Prince William shut down in August when he laid off 40 employees and moved the company to Reston. The county’s anti-illegal immigrant measures, which he and a coalition of other Latino businessmen are fighting, “have accelerated the collapse of the real estate market in the minority community,” he said.

Time for Stewart’s Private Legal Defense Fund

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Yesterday the Woodbridge Worker’s Committee filed suit in Federal Eastern District Court against Prince William County.  Now’s the time to take Stewart up on his offer of setting up the privately funded legal defense account that he suggested.  Let’s see how many PWC citizens put up or shut up. 

Park Authority loses money in 2007

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Jay Ellington, the PWC park authority executive director reports a loss in fiscal year 2007 and blames it on an over saturation of golf courses in the Prince William area.  But the good news is the loss wasn’t as great as in fiscal year 2006.  So for at least the past two years the park authority has operated above its budget, in the past year it has postponed several building and improvement projects but still needed to dip into their reserve fund.

Additionally, the county has no money set aside in the 5 year budget plans for the 235 acre park off of Antioch Road in Haymarket.  It appears the county can ill afford to spend the necessary monies to prepare the parcel for opening and the longer the grounds are neglected the larger the initial investment will be.  As this plays out, the more favorable the Bull Run Mountain Conservancy’s option becomes.
