We went out shopping again in the County. We visited Michaels, and DQ in the Bull Run shopping center, we then went shopping at the JC Pennys at the Mall. I also ate lunch at the Golden Corral on Tuesday.

resy, great idea! But they probably wouldn’t want us to see how much money we would save…

We went shopping at the Target in Gainesville tonight, and spent a pretty decent sum of money. We will go out at least one other night this week to make sure we shop in the County.

I just want to make it CLEAR that this is not about HISPANIC people, the ILLEGAL people come in all shapes, COLORS and sizes.

If you did see Hispanics out shopping, it is not necessarily a bad thing:

1. They are legal, which is good
2. They are legal and not observing the boycott or supporting the MSF group, which is really good.
3. They are illegal, but not observing the boycott, which will undermine the boycott and render the MSF ineffective in the political arena, which is still good, and hopefully once their political voice is silenced, they’ll head for home.

I have been following this issue for a long time but have to confess that I did not now how out of control it has become until I went to Mexicans Without Borders website. There they advocate “socialism and revolutionary change” and rail against capitalism. This is very disturbing. Let’s hope it is not too late to take our country back.

I have been out and about today, I have seen numerous Hispanics in every store I have visited. It looks like a normal Monday morning in Manassas.

On the channel 7 link, if you click on “discuss this” there is a poll there asking, “did Herndon make the right decision on the day labor center?” vote YES

Dolph,

No meals tax is a great thing, and don’t worry, I have my proper documents on the back on my car… “Help Save Manassas.”

I can’t wait to shop this week in the County. Since I live in the City of Manassas, I usually try to shop in town in order to support my local Government. But, not this week.

ABC, CBS, and Fox 5 all gave less than 60 second coverage of the big boycott. The film clips mostly focused on hispanics that looked like vagrants and who wouldn’t be buying much of anything. I would say, judging from what I just saw, there was not much sympathy from the local TV news media.

Definitely not a positive, highly organized image from any of those stations.

Famous Dave’s sounds great. I might even venture down to the “other end”, and check out Dixie Bones.

We need a thread for Pro-legal spots, and brief review.
JL
How about you, will you be coming into PWC to support the pro-legal businesses?-lol

Our family will be eating all lunches & dinners out all week - woohoo! I’ll check with Famous Dave’s in Woodbridge to make sure they’re pro-legal - great food.
