Several decades ago I was instrumental in having an English First referendum put on the Republican ballot of my state. It passed by over 97% of the vote. When I mentioned it to our Republican Governor (not Bush) he just laughed at me and the subject was forgotten forever.

In retroflection he was right. It was just a symbolic insult to Hispanics. The state is better off today than ever, we have a $6.5 Billion surplus, rated number one for new business, solid Republican and no one has choked on a meatball.
