Much appreciation though about bringing up FitzSimmonds’ Frank Wolf/Harry Parrish-like campaign record instead of the issues at hand.

Fact: Colgan voted for Senator Saslaw’s SUBSTITUTE to HB 2339 (2003) that would have allowed illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition.

Fact: Colgan voted against Senator Cuccinelli’s SB 313 (2006) and Delegate Lingamfelter’s HB 170 (2006) that required the Department of Motor Vehicles to furnish monthly lists to the State Board of Elections of license applicants who indicate a non-citizen status on their application.

Fact: Colgan introduced ZERO of the “some 70 bills” listed on Colgan’s website.

Fact: Colgan has consistently opposed illegal immigration reforms. Earlier this campaign, Colgan said that illegal immigration was exclusively a federal issue.

Don’t worry you will begin seeing literature and signs once the Colgan-Rishell Democrat workers make it out your way. Oh and the mail will come once Tim Kaine sends him another check after another fundraiser with the pro-illlegal crowd.

Bill

Bob Fitzsimmonds did live in Westgate. He talked with me quite a while and he is going to do something about illegal aliens. I misunderstood him when he suggested I move. Anyway, he explained himself and I am more than satisfied with his answers.

I believe Bob Fitzsimmonds will indeed represent our district very well. I am voting for Bob Fitzsimmonds!

FitzSimmonds has consistently been tough on illegal immigration. FitzSimmonds has been speaking about his plan for illegal immigration the entire campaign and worked for Senator Cuccinelli when Cuccinelli introduced and PASSED SB 313 (2006)that requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to furnish monthly lists to the State Board of Elections of license applicants who indicate a non-citizen status on their application.

Colgan voted AGAINST SB 313 because he didn’t want to close the loop hole that kept illegal immigrants from voting.

Colgan also voted for Senator Saslaw’s SUBSITUTE to HB 2339 (2003) that would have allowed illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition.

Colgan has sponsored ZERO bills about illegal immigration during his 32 years in Richmond.

Colgan doesn’t want to do anything about illegal immigration, if he did he would have sponsored actual legislation to de-incentivize it. Colgan refuses to do anything about illegal immigration because that would mean he would be taking away the inexpensive labor from his campaign donors in real estate and development.

The idea that Colgan carries the water for anyone in the Senate is laughable. Colgan carries less bills every year and co-sponsored ZERO of Delegate Jackson Miller’s bills. Colgan has TWICE endorsed Janette Rishell against Jackson Miller and happily campaigns with her.

Although the transportation crumbs we get from the state and his appearances at road openings of projects paid for by the county are appreciated, we need a senator with the energy to actually address the transportation crisis that Colgan allowed to develop while he was fighting for Shenandoah to be the state song.

Seems to me everyone wants to forget FitzSimmonds support of amnesty a few months ago…remember he said if you dont like it move.

There have been 13 bills to come out of the General Assembly dealing with illegal immigration. Colgan voted for all 13. Other bills failed because the Republican Attorney Gerneral’s Office said they conflicted with federal law.

Colgan voted to give 287g authority to local police.

Colgan is the only local member of the General Assembly that submitted a budget amendment that would have given Manssas City Police funding to send thier officers to 287g training. The Republican majority committee killed the bill because other juridictions jumped on it also and it became too expensive.

Colgan voted to make it illlegal for an illegal ailen to get a drivers license, for an illegal ailen to posses a fireram , voted to require juvenile detention centers to notify ICE when an illegal was incarcerated and he voted for a host of anti gang laws.

Let’s be real on transportion - The 29th District gets more new road money than any other District in the State. When you get off the expanded lane on 66 and drive down the bypass- thank Colgan. And don’t forget to look at GMU. His legislation or budget amendments funded all those. Harry Parrish is gone, if Colgan goes so does his seniority. And on issues important to Manasasas and Manassas Park, he carries the water in the Senate for Jackson Miller and Bob Marshall. If you think Bob FitzSimmonds can bring that back to Prince William I got some prime border front property in Arizona I want to sell you.

How can one man do something in the Senate? You do need a majority in order to get something done.
