Chris Royse Is THE Choice In Woodbridge
By Greg L | 1 November 2007 | Prince William County | 18 Comments
In case anyone out there hadn’t stumbled across the numerous start contrasts between Frank Principi and Chris Royse, the Washington Post recently published an article that provides them in spades. In this article, Frank Principi is clearly shown to be an apologist for illegal aliens, confused by the notion that “diversity is strength” after having buried his head in the sand while Sarajevo was conclusively demonstrating that disunity is hardly a prescription for peace and prosperity. Chris Royse, in contrast, has an aggressive plan to ensure that the rule of law is enforced in a manner fully consistent with civil rights laws and has been at the forefront of efforts to reduce the number of illegal aliens unlawfully residing within our communities.
Here’s Principi’s take on this issue:
“We need to celebrate our diversity, not crackdown on illegal immigrants,” said Principi, whose wife is from Peru. “It is very personal for me and my family. The Republican-led debate has spread fear and dissension in this community. It has destroyed relationships, embarrassed us as a county and ruined our reputation in the business community.”
Celebrations are certainly not going to fix things in Woodbridge. Fixing things will fix Woodbridge.
Here’s Chris Royse’s take on what needs to happen. Notice the absolute lack of platitudes and fuzzy language that is all his opponent can ever seem to muster when talking about this issue:
Royse would adopt a broken-windows strategy — going after people on small offenses, including littering, loitering and jaywalking — to deter major crimes. He also would go after people who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
“We might not get you on that,” he said of the employment laws the federal government is tasked with enforcing. “But we will put you under a period of intense scrutiny. You will eventually trip up. If we enforce the little things and the big guys realize it’s too risky to do business here and they move on.”
This isn’t even close. Chris Royse is the only candidate for Woodbridge Supervisor who understands this problem and has any idea at all on how to fix it.

You can bet that Chris Royse is the CHOICE for WOODBRIGE>
That Potomac News went crazy with Keen and he must have told them many lies as he usually does.
Keen wants to allow the illegals to get Social Services. I wonder why? Does it hit to close to home for him??
I hope Chris keeps plugging away at his door to door.
Chris Royse isn’t running in my district, but I certainly wish him the best.
I wish Chris Royse the best. I live in the Gainesville District, and will be casting my vote for John Stirrup. Chris Royse will be a long overdue welcome to the Woodbridge District and the county as a whole.
The MJM/PN are wild again this election season.
Go Chris Royse, you have the support of many beyond the Woodbridge District.
Celebrating diversity is to destroy individualism and democracy. Diversity is all about group alignment, group advocacy, and group privilege. Group supremacy and political group alignment by gender, religious, racial, and ethnic group is a facist concept. Diversity and facism concepts destroy the rights and importance of individuals. Votes occur by Ethnic groups, instead of by individuals voting in a DEMOCRATIC concept, where each individual has the supreme power, not the militant facist group leader who advocates for special priviliges and laws to benefit only his own group.
Diversity suppresses individualism and relegates the level of power of an individual to only what ethnic group they belong to.
If 5 ethnic groups with 5 people each apply for a job, and 5 people in one group (say the ASIAN group) have the highest ability level as individuals.
Democracy and individual rights says, the 5 most talented individuals should get the job (5 Asians).
Diversity says one person from each ethnic group (or only certain groups) get the job, suppressing and discriminating the 4 other INDIVIDUAL people who deserve the job more but are prevented by policy from getting it (in this case 4 Asians). This policy comes from a facist group concept where the members of the ethnic group really only want the privilige for themselves and band together to get it. Diversity, inclusion and multiculturalism (where you put your own ethnic group leader into power) is the first step to Facism supremacy groups in politics.
Facism says only the group who advocates for supreme power, and politically puts their own ethnic group into power (Say the Hispancic or Muslim group) get all 5 jobs. This is what is happening in California, where a new NATION called ATZLAN is being militantly advocated for by one ethnic supremacy group (sounds like “new” REICH?)
This dis-jointed and fuzzy reasoning happens in politics until diversity leads to dis-unity, disharmonly, civil unrest and ethnic group diversity eventually leads to a facist group led community and nation, just like what happened in Sarajevo.
If you support diversity you are not supporting DEMOCRACY, and you are supporting terrorists and invaders who would do harm to a democratic law abiding community of individuals of all races, genders and religious groups, voting as INDIVIDUALS.
The criticism I have heard of Royce’s approach is that it would commit limited law enforcement resources to small infractions, and give them less ability to respond to major infractions. How do we respond to that?
c.
One of the few successful aspects of Rudy Giuliani’s tenure as mayor of New York was implementation of his “broken windows” theory toward law enforcement. You concentrate on the minor infractions (the broken windows) and soon the major infractions become manageable, because major infractions are encouraged by overlooking the minor ones. Royce’s approach is, in the long term, fiscally sound.
Advocator,
The Giuliani approach has been working well here in WestGate/Sudley. We still have plenty of work ahead of us yet. The overall appearance of my block, and several others around here have improved quite a bit since early spring. If we send a message for the minorest of violations this will send a message your house is be watched by concerned citizens. This most definately will discourage worse unwelcome activities to our communities.This is part of rolling up the “red carpet”.We were complacement for way too long, and this is longer an option.
Did you make to the HSM meeting, and hear some of the candidates?
Woodbridge,
Wake up!! Rip Van Hilda is retiring.
Chris Royse will give us all the representation we deserve and should demand. Support and vote for him.
Do folks down there realize that there’s 23 miles of overlooked shoreline?
I have e-mailed Chris Royse recently about a few issues. I will say that he is responsive.
Lafayette - glad the Guliani approach is working for you. It is is a proven and measurable process. Do you have a Neighborhood Watch leader in your area?
Nice to know Royse has a lot of support in Manassas and Gainsville. Hopefully the people living in Woodbridge are smart enough to elect Principi…..someone who can think beyond one issue.
Jones-
Principi can’t even think about issues on his own. He has obviously been coached by Hilda up until recently and then he decided to just wait to see what Royse would say or do next and then he repeats that in his “celebrate diversity” way.
After today’s Potomac News endorsement, ‘ole Frank could be looking at a bronze medal on Tuesday. Go Chris Royse!!
One Voice,
Mr. Royse is more responsive than half of our sitting Board of Supervisors. He truly cares, and will represent us ALL well!!
We don’t have an official Neighborhood Watch let alone a leader. We are actively involved on all levels. I will contact who ever I have to get the right answers, and action.
Smith & Jones,
Ole Frank is Hilda’s boy!! Hilda is Frank’s mentor!! Can it really get much worse than that?
I hope Woodbridge is waking up. I really think they just might have. I sure hope so.
Go Chris Royse!
Principi has the endorsement of the firefighters, teachers and police. These are the people who represent Woodbridge and know what type of leader we need. I think their endorsement carries more weight than Potomac News.
Royce can’t seem to get any endorsements except from this Blog site and people who live in Gainsville.
Perhaps Chris should move
Jones,
We here in the western end have the Honorable John Stirrup. Woodbridge really needs him, and the whole county does too.
Will Frank P be sleeping during Citizens’ Time like Hilda? It’s a real shame Channel 23 doesn’t show the naps. Disgusting!!
The Teachers Association- please. The majority of the members of the Police Association don’t even live in Woodbridge so they can’t vote in this race. Do voters even base their vote on which organizations endorse a candidate? Seems to me that the majority of Woodbridge voters have one issue on their mind and it has nothing to do with who a candidate is endorsed by.
If it does matter, though, Royse is endorsed by 6 of the current sitting Supervisors, Lt. Gov. Bolling, AG McDonnell, Congressman Davis, Senator O’Brien, Delegates Frederick, Lingamfelter, Miller and McQuigg. Forgive me, but these are a bit more impressive than the Teachers Association.
A republican endorsing a republican is more impressive than being endorsed by the teachers, police and firefighters? Give me a break!
Lafayette - if you have moderate sucess now in your neighborhood, bring in a Neighborhood Watch program. One was established in our area simply due to a problem teen. The block meeting was held outside near the teen’s home.
Bring in the Neighborhood Watch program at this time, post Neighborhood Watch signs (in English).
Now you have the police in your neighborhood and a voice into the Police Department and more strength with Stirrup when you have issues.
This is the NYC approach I suggested a while ago with zoning. Now is the time to up the ante…
One Voice,
I agree about the Neighborhood Watch program. We have many seniors who don’t even want to take a walk during the day, and then there are many residents that would NOT welcome this(too bad for them, boo hoo hoo), and then there’s numerous vacant houses.
We had a meeting with the PWPD earlier this week at Stirrup’s office. We learned a lot, and still have more to learn.
The Zoning works. Heck, these jokers won’t even answer the door when PCE comes knocking, and there’s eight cars at the house.
We basically have a Neighborhood Watch, just not “official”. It looks like it’s time to take it to the next level.
Ante up, indeed.
Let Greg L know if you ever change your mind about contacting me. I really think I could learn so much from you. I fully understand and respect your feelings. Please, know that my offer still stands.
Thank you for your suggestions as always.

Channel 9 will air a story tonight on effects of illegals and the elections tonight. They went to one of the worst houses around here. The infamous #08 Patty and talk about. Tune in if you can it should be very interesting.-imho
Lafayette
Someday maybe .. thanks for understanding.
I am learning a lot here as well. I first came to this website with a great deal of skepticism of the intentions of the site. There is to be found here exactly what I expected; again there is to be found here also hard working decent honest people who have no other agenda than to fix up their neighborhoods and take care of their families. It takes a special person to be willing to put themself out there. You are special in my book, Lafayette!!!!! You and those like you TOTALLY CHANGED MY MIND about the urgency of the illegal immigration situation - like others I really thought it was a federal issue. However, I do think that this effort combined with government resources available is the best approach.
Get that official Neighborhood Watch going and you will have credible ties to the Police Department and to Mr. Stirrup. Between the two you should be able to almost erradicate the problem or at the very least you will be in control of it. And that is a big step and a much better feeling.
I would also involve the older residents in some of the decision making. Age provides them with a calmer perspective. You will pull them from a burning house, they will keep you from falling off a cliff!
