Jim Marshall votes to use your taxpayer dollars for Spanish Ballots
(Warner Robins, GA) For a person to become a naturalized American Citizen they are required to speak, understand and write Basic English according to American Red Cross Citizenship Project. Congressman Jim Marshall does not seem to understand that fact and has voted to spend our taxpayer funds to spend taxpayer money on bilingual ballots (Roll Call Vote 340, 06/28/2006). Mr. Marshall must therefore be asked why we need to spend our family's hard earned money when American citizens are required to understand English to vote.
"After this vote and his previous vote to give illegal immigrants food stamps, I wonder if representative Marshall remembers he represents Middle Georgia and not Mexico." said Bill Hagan, a spokesman for Congressman Mac Collins (Ret. R-GA)
Buh bye, Jim.
My posts are not a plea for multi-language balloting. They are to point out that the legalease is precise language (deliberately written with wiggle room).
Having voters cast VOTES on such legislation based on paraphrased translations is inadequate. It is a vestage of "separate but nearly equal".
Government should be conducted in English in this country.
There are some border towns in Texas that conduct city council meetings in Spanish.
This country is falling apart because we have been told that what "was" was evil.
