Ari Stotle,
Channel 23 in Spanish?? Does this include all programming? Is the School Board also doing this? This is horrible. I know people have the Dish over cable, and they are legal, taxpaying citizens and they are not able to watch the County info channel. They go to friends houses with cable to be informed on PWC. I think many legal taxpaying citizens would like to see all County meetings aired. What more can they(PWC) do to accomadate hispanics? Is PWC, trying to get 5 diamond or 4 star accomodation rating with the illegals? ENOUGH ALREADY. Last time I looked at map, it said Manassas was in the USA.

Channel 23 is now broadcasting in Spanish, not sure when this started. If we can accomodate hispanics then we should accomodate everyone’s desires and I want to see the Planning Commission televised, hell I’ll settle for a web cast and pay for the web cam.

It’s what MANY MANY people across the nation are finally beginning to understand:

It’s the PARTY, stupid!! PEOPLE: we need to close our checkbooks and wallets to curb this lunacy…

Until then, enrollment in the 12-step program for recovering republicans will continue to sky-rocket!!

Kopko pandering to the illegals should not surprise anyone. Next will be urdu to accomodate his mid-east freinds.

I guess you’re right, and my Spanish is bad. Not too surprising.

Which word is misspelled?

Nosotros? That’s the correct spelling.

I want to learn the language of the Khalahari Bushman. That way when addressing a government official, or even ordering a Big Mac, I can do it in clicks and pops. When they don’t understand me, I can get all indignant, and yell that they need to accomodate me. I want voter forms printed in “bushman” too.

I am voting for “click-clock-tick-nock” for Sheriff on Tuesday!

Bush is trying to save the immigration bill where 12 million will be legalized without the need to learn the English language.

Right you are, and they even manage to mis-spell the first word.

Well, if you check the PWCRC site, you’ll see the Spanish version of the creed as well.

And the thing is there ARE large numbers of Spanish speakers who want to learn English. If there weren’t we wouldn’t be seeing the “English for Spanish speaker” courses being advertised on the Spanish channels. If there’s money to be made, the product will appear.

Pander, pander, pander. The GOP can be so stupid sometimes.

But then again they ARE politicians.

Anon,

You are right. There are other foreign languages that are spoken in Virginia, yet Spanish seems to be the one that gets all of the attention. I say there should be a web page version for every single language that might be spoken in Virginia. Whats that? It might cost too much? Well, then the simple solution is to have the page only in one language, English.

I guess the VA GOP things that members of the MS13 gang will vote for GOP because part of the website is in Spanish.

Lets review, in order to be a legal voter in Virginia, one must be a United States Citizen. In order to be a United States Citizen, a person must show at least a basic ability to read, write and speak English. The message of the GOP(at least I think it still might be this) is lower taxes, less crime, smaller Government, pro-life, and a stronger military. How difficult is that to read or understand? Pretty basic stuff. Yet, the yahoos at the VA GOP believe that needs to be provided in a foreign language.

There are many people from the Philippines who live in Prince William County. My husband is from Vietnam. They all had to learn English from day one. It upsets them that the government caters to the Spanish community. It gives them special status. I think our political parties forget that the people who are here legally learned English and I’m afraid that these Spainish language websites and recordings at government offices are alienating legal immigrants. These legal immigrants became citizens and they VOTE!!!

Many Iranians live in McClean, what about Farsi? Many Vietnamese live in Arlington, what about that?

Many of the immigrants who are citizens are going to think it is patronizing and demeaning to have it written in their own language.

The immigrants striving to become American and they want to speak English.
