Letter to the Editor; Writer urges English be declared as the official language of U.S.

To the Editor:

Congress is still fighting about whether or not La Raza ( Liberals) will win and we would legally become a multi-lingual country. The Red party would like to pass “The English Language Unity Act” that would make us a Legal English Language Republic. This Bill has been viable for years but there were not enough votes to pass it.

La Raza would have voters faced with ballots in over 200 languages. The number of people and their languages is increasing thanks to our lack of immigration laws that have teeth!

Former President Clinton signed executive order 13166, which requires all federal agencies and organizations, physicians, hospitals and emergency rooms that receive federal funds to provide government services in any language. This is expensive, but just imagine what it would be like to put all federal services under the blanket of multilingual languages.

Not having English as our official language is another sign of weakness that I don’t like! Do you? If you believe as I do please take a stand and contact your legislators as soon as possible and talk to your friends and neighbors to make sure they understand! Our future depends on it!
