9500 Liberty Is Back, And We're Hosting A Party

Most of you probably know this already, but Annabel and I documenting and also, to some degree, a part of the story of Prince William County's social and economic destruction due to hysteria over the immigration issue. If you watch the two short videos linked below, you'll understand just how the idea to throw this party came about. This is an E-mail that Annabel sent out moments ago to invite people out for a night of fun, but more importantly, to get the immigrant community and friend of immigrants off the deck, in the same room, and ready to discuss ways of reversing this misfortune.

9500Liberty & AntiBVBL.net invite you to a party this Friday to support business owners in Prince William County.

When: Friday, April 4th, 8pm-1am

Where: El Portal restaurant

14561 Jefferson Davis Hwy

Woodbridge, VA 22191

(703) 490-6290

What: Great food, drinks, music and fascinating people including many featured in 9500Liberty. **Rumor has it many of the voices of AntiBVBL.net will reveal their identities, including the Admin. Eric and Annabel will also make brief remarks.

As many of you know, since the "crackdown on illegal immigrants" resolution passed in Prince William County, Virginia in July, many Latino residents have left the county. You have all read by now that the flight of the Latino residents has had a dramatic effect on the economy in the county especially in Woodbridge and Manassas. Many excellent news reports have been written on this subject in the Washington Post and the DC Examiner.

9500 Liberty is currently documenting the aftermath of the resolution and just uploaded our first video in the series: After the Resolution. We’re encountering heartbreaking cases of people who have lost homes, businesses or about to lose them. It’s devastating to witness a vibrant, growing community suddenly facing economic free fall.

Please follow along as we document this story. A new local blog, AntiBVBL.net, tries to track, watch and outwit the anti-immigrant blog, bvbl.net, the activities of Help Save Manassas and the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
