Noteworthy Points:

Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ)--are facing challenges from Republicans with strong stances on immigration: Mike McGavick in Washington and Tom Kean, Jr. in New Jersey. I don't think the voters in those states will be happy to learn that their representatives in Congress have put our security and economy at risk by refusing to support border security measures.


When given an opportunity to make English the national language, many Democrats also balked--including Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), who we also feel is very vulnerable. The amendment that would do so, sponsored by Senator Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), which passed 63-34, will not only honor our traditions and history, but also help to ensure that future generations of Americans are
{{{united by a single, common language.}}
~Interesting, the Dem wording 'compromise'

I have been disappointed by the votes, rhetoric, and behavior of many Democrats during this week's debate. Sometimes it just seems like their priorities are different from most Americans'.

~A wise Senator, keep an eye on her voting record in this

RE: "...make English the national language..."

Article in today's paper points out that English is ALREADY the 'official language' in California (...by mandate of the voters ...Prop 68?...sometime back, certainly NOT the legislature.)

...Given the situation here, it's doubtful THAT action, on a national level, is going to DO anything really, as long as our 'PC-culture' 'REQUIRES' us to print nearly EVERYTHING in who KNOWS how many other languages so as to avoid even any far-fetched tinge of "discrimination". (We're SO 'sensitive, don't-ya-know...)
