SHOULD ENGLISH BE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE UNITED STATES?
This is one of those questions in which the answer seems to obviously be
yes, and with a little thought you begin to wonder why is there even a
debate over this issue. However, let me assure you, this is one of the
most divisive and hotly contested issues ever to be debated in the halls
of Congress, and it is important that you let your congressional
representatives know where you stand.
Here are the facts up front:
Immense pressure is being brought to bear on all levels of government to
make America officially multi-lingual. The results of this pressure are
as follows:
1. American voting ballots are now regularly printed in foreign
languages in over 375 voting districts...
2. The IRS has begun printing tax forms in Spanish...
3. In some 30 states, drivers license exams are now given in languages
other than English...
4. In California, schools are now mandated to teach in 42 different
languages...
5. And now the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service is even
testing a program to conduct citizenship exams and perform U.S.
citizenship ceremonies in foreign languages!
Why is English not the official language of the U.S.?
The fact is the overwhelming majority of Americans clearly favor making
English the official language of the United States. But as so often
happens, a small but well-organized special interest is using political
pressure to usurp the will of the majority and get their own way.
