If you are inclined to support the current Herndon mayor and town council members who have taken a stand for the legal residents of our area, please consider giving a donation to the Help Save Loudoun PAC in the next few days. We will be buying newspaper ads in the local press to promote the public officials who are supporters of immigration enforcement here, for the May 6 Herndon town elections.

We want to keep these good guys in office for two more years!

The Herndon mayor and town council are up for election on May 6. This is an important local election because Herndon is the first town in America to take a strong stand on immigration enforcement at the local level. It’s the first town to enroll in the 287(g) program which empowers local law enforcement to assist the federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

As most local residents know, the mayor and town council of Herndon implemented strong measures to alleviate the local impact of illegal immigration in western Fairfax County and eastern Loudoun County. This included a strong emphasis on zoning enforcement - and the hiring of many new inspectors to crack down on overcrowded houses - and advocacy for stricter legislation from Richmond. Some of these measures which passed the Virginia General Assembly and were signed into law included harsher penalties for zoning infractions and driving without an operators license - infractions which were widely perceived as directly related to the influx of illegal aliens into our local communities.

And of course, the new Herndon government, which swept into office in large part because the previous government had approved a day labor center for illegal aliens, shut down that day labor center.

Taken together, these moves by the Herndon government have helped all the legal residents of this part of Virginia.

In fact, it is safe to say if the citizens of Herndon had not accomplished what they accomplished in May of 2006, the entire movement for local immigration enforcement throughout the U.S. would have never gotten off the ground.

Their election caused an earthquake in modern U.S. politics, demonstrating that the legal residents of our country can make a difference at the ballot box, and you can be sure the pro-illegal crowd are going to attempt to overturn this citizen revolution.

More background on the importance of the Herndon elections is available here and here.

If you want to help ensure that Mayor Steve DeBenedittis and Council Members Dennis Husch, Connie Hutchinson, David Kirby, William Tirrell and Charlie Waddell are reelected, please give some money to the Help Save Loudoun PAC. We will be taking out a big “Thank You” ad in the next issue of the local press to acknowledge these excellent public officials.
