I know all about this. I live in Prince William County, VA, the current capital of local government sponsored, institutionalized racism.

I so wish I could be there tomorrow. I still plan on sending a follow up e-mail to the board. I will also include how she lied on the resume that she sent to the board. She has not lived in PWC for 10 years. She lived in Fairfax for 2 years. If she lies on a simple resume form, what else will she lie about?

On the agenda, it states that her term would run until 6/30/2012 - no way in hell do I want her on any committee for that long.

As to the KKK and skinheads, yes they have aligned themselves with groups related to HSM. GL and Co. will deny it–but what he said after was even more important: he didn’t NEED the KKK to accomplish what he wanted. In other words, he thinks he is the King and he KNOWS he has enough backing to do whatever he wants. Why? Because groups like his have FAIR. They have Corey Stewart and John Stirrup in their pockets. They have people who support organized and legalized harassment and discrimination.

kgotthardt said on 5 Mar 2008 at 8:19 am: I received a note from GL himself this morning. Apparently, he doesn’t appreciate my reference to him as a “neo-Nazi.” He claims I said he was a member of the KKK and the Nazi party, which I did not. I said HSM had support from members like these, which he does (even if he didn’t WANT that support). The KKK doesn’t support just ANYONE. Obviously, the mission of HSM matches theirs.

I said there was no evidence he was a neo-Nazi.

However, he ACTS like a Nazi.

It’s the same thing as calling someone xenophobic.

I forwarded the email to some friends and have blocked GL from my email. I thought this was the best thing to do, since he blocked me from his site. And he has threatended to put me on some “daily whackjob” site. He wants to call me a whack job. He better watch his step. He’s already made fun of disabilities, religious choices, and gender identification on his site. Some of those, I KNOW are directed at me.

The proof is in the videos. The proof is in his words. The proof is in his “policy.” I don’t NEED any proof to support MY behavior because I know how I act and how I am and so do MANY others.

From here on out, I will not address GL and his hateful, threatening, manipulative mannerisms.

I bet MSNBC is shocked that so far, he’s ranking a strong “F”……

“There is much good in Prince William County. There is much to crow about. However, the Immigration Resolution isn’t one of those things. It caused dissention amongst residents and brought an undesirable focus on our county.” AMEN!

For what it’s worth, here were my comments on WAPO:

———————————————–

Here’s the problem: 287g probably works, but the original version of the resolution put us on the map as a bunch of racist, money-wasting fools. When that happened, many residents decided it was time to try to offset the negative results the resolution had.

The policy currently in place isn’t the one that originally passed. The original resolution exacerbated an already declining housing market as well as existing racism.

The intent always should have been to treat people fairly but get criminals off the street. By checking citizen status of every person arrested, and by refusing to target specific ethnic groups, our police can prevent racial profiling and work within the perimeters of the current federal system. Trying to handle a federal issue on a local level is socio-economic suicide..

I would like to see the negative ramifications of this resolution die. Unfortunately, until the federal government does something about immigration problems, and until local governments encourage federal change through positive action, PWC and other areas will continue to be affected, leaving yet one more excuse for racism and discrimination.

The damage has already been done, and dismantling the infrastructures that allowed this to happen continues to be an uphill battle.

But we need to let people know there is far more to PWC than the immigration debate, and we need to get that message out loud and clear.

I don’t disagree, Greg, and said so in my comments, as I don’t disagree that it is appropriate to research an individual’s comments on a blog…and said so in my comments. The comment you are referencing stands on its own merits…it is hypocritical to object to someone doing something that you’ve done yourself, plain and simple.

Also of note, Mr. Duecaster’s appointment was to a limited term (about a month) commission unrelated to any issues connected with illegal immigration which had no power whatsoever over taxpayer funds, and did nothing but write a report. This appointment is for a year term on a bureau that controls taxpayer funds, is related directly to many of the things Ms. Gotthardt wrote of, and requires a much higher level of experience and qualifications than writing a planning document about the provision of public services that in all likelihood will be ignored when the actual policies are defined.

Appointing someone who regularly trashes the county to the Convention and Visitors Bureau claiming that a significant portion of the county’s population are racist bigots with white supremacist tendencies is akin to appointing the leader of Mexicans Without Borders to the jail board. It is irresponsible beyond the pale, a horrible reflection on the Brentsville district, and a stunning lapse of judgment from Wally Covington.

And by the way Elena - someone who says PWC is the capital of racism isn’t someone who should be promoting PWC as a tourist destination. It IS relevant. if you fail to see the relevance then you are stupid.

–Never mind the bald-faced sacrilege of religious symbols and terminology that is depicted.–

Well, y’all would have been more offended if the artist used white sheets.

PWC did this to itself. And if any of you have ever seen political cartoons, then you would know in what vein to take this. Alas, I guess you don’t read the newspapers…because you see neither cartoons nor stories about people, real people, who have had to live the nightmare our beloved chair and VICE and his CLAN who have ruined us. You have no one to blame but yourselves.

The Minutemen aren’t just disreputable. They are called “vigilantes.” Oh yeah, that’s just what our state needs.

Fairfax won a national award for the best managed county in the NATION. Sure, it has its problems, especially because there are larger cities there. But since PWC has the largest forecosure rate in the state, we have to look twice and three and four times.

Went to the Fimian/Connolly debate Thursday. Fimian is a business man, just like our beloved VICE is supposed to be. Fimian says we should always be prepared for the worst, and this takes planning. How much planning do we see here? Thanks, Corey et al. Maybe you should speak with your party members to see where you went WRONG and how you can FIX it. But your ego is much too big for that, eh?

The BOCS are voting on her nomination this Tuesday at the 2:00 pm meeting.

If you would like to provide your opinion on her nomination, feel free to e-mail all of the Supervisors at bocs@pwcgov.org…

Or, go to the meeting and tell them how you feel at citizen’s time right at the beginning of the meeting!

I put some in a e-mail to him, but may follow up with adding these additional posts to an e-mail. I e-mailed all of the supervisors but can’t make the meeting on Tuesday. My husband offered to go for me and voice his opinion, but I think that if enough concerned citizens e-mail, she won’t get the vote.

So far, the only response I’ve received is from Marty Nohe, who said that he would look into it. I’m sure the rest are on vacation or with their family, since it is technically still Spring Break for PWCS and a holiday weekend.
