This letter was sent to hundreds of constituents by the office of Republican Rep. Virgil Goode Jr. of Virginia:
Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country. I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America and to prevent our resources from being swamped.

The Ten Commandments and "In God We Trust" are on the wall in my office. A Muslim student came by the office and asked why I did not have anything on my wall about the Koran. My response was clear, "As long as I have the honor of representing the citizens of the 5th District of Virginia in the United States House of Representatives, The Koran is not going to be on the wall of my office." Thank you again for your email and thoughts.

Sincerely yours,

Virgil H. Goode, Jr.

70 E. Court St., Suite 215

Rocky Mount, Va. 24151

i don't update much cause i suck and am stupid
and i don't really have too much to talk about that isn't routine to me

but heres a new picture

i'm going to become as offensive as hell

and fuck political correctness
its a societal constraint on my freedom of speech

and i'm going to say what i like, and i don't care if it offends you

haha some guys at the diner tried to start a fight with me

it started with one kid calling me enrique

i was like go fuck yourself and don't call me enrique then i left

he calls his friends
they all show up
in like 3 minutes

it was fucking hillarious

i stood there laughing at them until the cops showed up

"hit me, i need a good lawsuit"

then one of his friends steps out of the car that just pulled up and its my boy mark

snafu

One of my favorite cities is gone. :(

the terrorists defeated england
osama is probably jumping up and down in happiness

"hey lets enforce this shoot to kill policy, and skip the judicial process"
"lets make everyone afraid, and lets kill all brown people cause they might be arabs"
"or worse terrorist arabs"

its like one mistake after another, causing a domino effect of mistakes

hey tony b. you're not making things better, you're making it worse
and the only thing you're going to accomplish with this policy is to bring the war home

shoot to kill in the streets of London
what next, MP's all over europe and america?
then what? martial law with fully armed military personal protecting us from ourselves
are we gonna shoot missles at london bridge?

and if you think i'm exagerating... would you have ever thought 5 years ago that the british police head would say right out in public that more innocent people in england are going to die, trying to find these terrorists

are you telling me sir ian that their will be collatoral damage in the streets of your beloved city??

i hope GW suprises me and doesn't follow this same rhetoric
cause once you bring war on to the streets of america
life as we know it is gonna stop...
and when i say GW, its not just him, all of our beloved politicians from kerry to mccain to every last one of them rich bastards don't know shit about people

they are POLITICIANS aka they tell you just what you wanna hear.
Hacks!

i hate to say it, but i knew knew knew that attacking iraq would make more terrorists
and make the world less safe
and fucking bring the war here

oh my leaders are so smart

( Darth Halford )

the hartford set was sloppy :) but fun
many things to say, can't say any of them in any sort of public forum

so on to the non illegal stuff

we borrowed the oakdale van for the weekend

i wore a tie on friday for the show

then on saturday we rolled to arlenes in nyc... i had my stones tshirt
all my metro accessories

played a tight tight tight set
then i bounced with benny and laz to some goth night club
doug met us there

laz's girlfriend's coworker was dj'ing there, so i guess thats the reason for going

wow... all i have to say is too many questionable genders
and usually thats the case with goth, or rather any club in nyc
but damn

these guys weren't even trying to look good by dressing as women

ended the evening with episode IV

and bbq the next day!!! and oh yea now its monday
and here comes another bbq... sweeeeeet

so like i thought no one wanted to go see some good ole christian screamo with me from here
i'm not even christian

am i that f'n scary!?!
i guess so
hehe

update

i think i made fun of jesus too much and he smote me last night!!!

This shit is starting to get on my nerves.

I don't care if you think she's totally braindead or mostly braindead

the lady has been out of it for 15 years

let her die!!

second those of you all protesting... why don't you put that effort into saving the lives of people that need it... like african children dying of you name it... instead yer spending all this energy on someone who's been dead for 15 years and is artificially alive BY A MACHINE...

if i had to stay alive through a feeding tube for 15 years... and somehow through some sort of jesus miracle... they cured me... i would kick your ass for "torturing" me for 15 years...

"not in my backyard" fuckheads

arghhh i'm pissed

you can't save africa cause they are black??? cause its not florida??? you all make me sick!!!

check this shit out

i've been thinking,

i'm a smart guy

why can't i be a criminal mastermind???

i mean the risks are high but

the moneys good

women dig power

i get a secret base

i get henchmen

hmmm, must contemplate... british columbia here i come, hahahahah

 Keepin it reale, mat reale :)

dario is our manager and he got contacted by a few high school students who wanted to do an interview of us for their class

things like this really make me feel like all the struggle and hard work is worth it
treating people right and good has its rewards

Dario man i just wanted to thank you for that interview last night. IT
WAS AMAZING. meeting the guys was probably one the best things i have
ever done. 
i am in my journalism class right now and i just finished the article. i
will send it to you guys in full newspaper form after it is published.
Also, i have the posters and i will copy them at work and paste them all
over the town. i plan on you guys having a great turnout with the march
12th show. i thank you again and i hope to stay in touch. tell Kashif
that i would be mopre than happy to be his guitar tech and let him know
he can call me anytime he needs to. thanks again. i hope to see you guys
soon again. ill be there at the march 12th show. no worries.
John
