		<description>If this bogus Commission serves at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Supervisors should kill all funding.  If that doesn't bring them to their senses, there must be a process for replacing the entire lot of them.  There are plenty of citiznes of a diverse background who would be willing to serve.  Why suffer this nonsense from unelected leftists one day longer?</description>

		<description>I don't see where immigration status is a covered class for the Commission to be reviewing.  The complete list of covered classes in the Commission charter includes "race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status or disability."

The 1982 Supreme Court Plyler v. Doe case held that "immigration status" is not a protected class under the 14th Amendment, thereby distinguishing it from "national origin."  I'd argue that this class is beyond the scope of the Commission and therefore should have no involvement in this whatsoever.</description>

		<description>Fed UP 2

It would be good if everyone sent an e-mail or letter to the BOS,expressing that we as citizens(Legal),do not feel that this is a job for the Human Rights Commission to hold hearing .Especially when the ones invited were all on the one side and many organizations from out side of Prince William.
 Heard there were about 6 that were there and a bus sitting out side and the Police were there. So apparently it did not go the way Human Rights wanted.

This entire commission needs to be let go and reappoint new members. Many of them have been on for 10 years or more and they all are the far liberals.

My understanding they serve at the Boards pleasure,so the Board needs to get a back bone and replace.

Give the Board some of your suggestions.</description>

		<description>"Pravda on the Potomac" has ALWAYS sided with the leftists.  I remember back in the 80s when President Reagan told some journalists that what was said in this one meeting was confidential because people could die if word got out.  Well, WaPo felt the public "had the right to know" so they printed the name of this Colonel who was helping the Freedom Fighters in Nicaragua as well as where he lived, along with a photo, for good measure.  He was dead in a day.

As stated above, as liberal as WaPo is, it IS influental and every so often they will print things that probably make their editors cringe.  Flooding them is a good idea, but you may want to also write to the Washington Times, the local papers, and heck, throw in the NY Times for good measure.</description>

		<description>That's a good idea.  If half of HSM writes a letter to the Post editorial board they may take notice.

The Post is a rag but it IS influential, and is a real battleground.</description>

		<description>Greg, 

can we send a few letters/faxes to the journalist in question or the editorial board at Washpoo so that they can realize once and for all that there are real, breathing people behind PWC's resolution?</description>
