AWC
You’re right again. The numbered of registered voters in the Park, can’t be what they used be. The legal citizens have the old part of the park and the people living on the other side of 28 in the Park, are so glad they’ve got 28, seperating. The new side of the Park, has many “newcomers” to our community, who don’t realize what the Manassas Park once was. I would like to point out that MANASSAS PARK, is 50 years old this year, and it’s nothing like it was.

There is a recall process that has been suggested on numerous occasions before Patriot, but few people living in Manassas Park seemed to be interested. Unfortunately, this is a process which must be conducted by registered voters of Manassas Park, although a great many of us living in the County and City of Manassas would be willing to help…ultimately, it is up to the residents.

I have to agree with some of what you say. Political office is not for everybody. It gets ugly out there, but as far as this blog I think anyone who would take it on would find they have support from most that post on here.

Since you are active in the community you would be great at recruiting good candidates. Everyone can do something to help. I’m not in Manassas Park, but I firmly believe anybody who cares has some role to play in this political revolution…and from now on..I think it’s best to refer to it as a revolution.

There must be a way to be able to impeach elected officials that are not acting on behalf of legal citizens.

RE: park’d
Set up when and let citizens know, flyers,blogs, or whatever. I know if someone organized a picket I would be there. This needs to be done.
I have lived in M.P. for 17 years and watched a nice little town decline into more or less the slums. I have been so frustrated about things I have been considering selling my home and moving, but my children are in Hs and have always gone to school here and don’t want to move, but what else can we do?!

“We need good Manassas Park residents to declare for office NOW and begin the “throw the bums” out campaign immediately.”

So we can see ourselves vilified on this and other blogs? I am a good resident, a community and school volunteer, but protecting my family comes first. I don’t think anyone can successful serve in office in the current climate without risking the emotional and physical safety of his or her family. I had planned on doing school board at some point, but I won’t with the way things are now. Who wants to be labelled a “co-conspirator” for throwing your hat in the ring?

Lars Wiechmann-

You are exactly right! ALL elected officials need to know that they can no longer twiddle their thumbs on this issue. We will vote them out of office. ALL of them!!

Look at Herndon. Look at Manassas. Two newly elected council members are trying to do what they can about illigal aliens in our community and they ran on that platform.

Also ALL county supervisors are up for re-election this November.

We need good Manassas Park residents to declare for office NOW and begin the “throw the bums” out campaign immediately. Until every single elected official currently holding office (any office) in Manassas Park is thrown out on their ear, nothing will change.

Don’t tell me some are good and some are bad. All of them are part of this problem either as an active participant, or worse, an inactive participant.

Those of us that are non-Park residents need to start a political action committee to support a good slate and get this done. Enough is enough in Manassas Park.

This is the frustration that results from the failure of all levels of government to perform their basic function, i.e., protect its citizenry. For those of you tempted to leave the Park, or the City, or the County, be advised, it ain’t no better anywhere else in the country (except maybe Alabama, where they’ve dealt with this problem). This is the Alamo. Besides, moving somewhere else only benefits the real estate agents.

First, get involved. Second, make arrangements to protect yourself and what it yours. It may come down to “refreshing the tree of liberty.” I suggest going to the Dulles gun show at the end of July (see, www.thenationsgunshow.com) and spending about $1000 on a good sidearm (9mm auto with large capacity mag) and a high powered rifle (Yugoslavian SKS is cheap, reliable) along with a large amount of ammunition. Unfortunately, it may come down to this. Gridlock in our federal government and soft-tissued nervous Nellies at the state and local level are allowing this country to be taken over.

I say we all picket one park center and get some attention. Those clowns know all about what’s going on and they won’t change until we as citizens demand it face to face at one park center. A couple hundred of us picketing outside might be what we need to get some attention. Who’s up for it?

We need to stop this multiple family “bunk house” crap in our neighborhoods. Our towns are going to become nothing but Wild West hang outs with brothels. We the legal taxpaying citizens need to stop this. First and foremost, we must concentrate on attrition solutions:
1. Get rid of social benefits given to non-U.S. citizens (welfare, WIC, free medical, free education, subsidized housing, foodstamps, etc.). The illegals and their anchors will leave if these “attractions” are taken away.
2. Must stop businesses from hiring illegals. Businesses that hire illegals should have their business licenses revoked and should be shut down. This will send a message loud and clear that we will not tolerate this any longer.
3. We must stop this anchor baby crisis. The illegals and even “guest workers” know of this blantant loop hole and they work it good. They know they will receive the social benefits (as stated in item 1 above) and they also know that it will be harder to be deported if they have “anchors”.
These items must be vigorously addressed to really solve our problems!

Thanks Greg. Hopefully things will be brought to light and something will be done. It certainly is frustrating.

The City of Manassas Park needs to be questioned about all of the “mini-motels ” they’ve allowed to be built disguised as upgraded housing.

Things have been pretty bad over in the Park for about 5years now. It is only get worse over there, and it’s finding it’s way up the hill, to Westgate. Since, Thurdsay the police have been to one house on my street 3times, that I know about. There’s alot bad stuff all over. I feel for those folks in the Park, alot of them have lived there for decades, 3 and 4 generations in some cases. My sister got out of the Park 4 years ago and hasn’t thought twice about it. I’m hearing really bad things too(Westgate), that I never hear about in MJM. We really need more citizens to get involved.
