Speeches in English – or running translations – would have helped gain the support of non-Spanish speaking supporters, such as liberals and various anti-American groups.

To: R. Scott
my point was that the VAST majority of attendees could NOT speak English, so it made little sense for the speeches to be IN English.

imVho, there needs to be an OFFICIAL POLICY of "English ONLY" in all government & business documents, UNLESS all persons affected by those documents are "other than English speakers".
