"So far, here in Arizona, we have not had to deal with one person who had trouble with English."

Come to Texas... I walked in to a Wal Mart store I had shopped at previously here in Houston and ALL, I mean ALL, the signs were is Spanish. Not English AND Spanish mind you they were ALL in Spanish. The announcements were also in Spanish. I was buying a bunch of stuff and was just about finished. I wanted some bottled water and I couldn't find it. So I stopped an Employee and asked where it was and she looked at me and it was then I realized she didnt understand a word I said. I know Spanish but I wasn't about to speak it. Took my basket up front asked to speak to the day manager. When they came up I pushed my basket up to them, told him what happened and told him that until English was the language spoken in this store that niether I or anyone else I knew would be back to shop there.

ARGGHHH Frustrating

No-I just got away from that in San Diego . Albertson's (Now a Kroger subsidiary) has about half the signs in the store in Spanish.

Arizona just passed an English Only proposition.

Prop. 103 - English as state's official language

Yes=74%

No= 26%

Prop. 100 - No bail for illegal immigrants

Yes=77.9%

NO =22.1%

Prop. 300 - Limit education services for illegal immigrants

Yes=71.4 %

No= 28.6 %

MY DISTRICT-in ARIZONA: Rick Renzi R Defeated Ellen Simon, ACLU ATTY -Dem 52%-44%
