Let me inform you that 91 percent of American Citizens want English to become our official language. This is the second time in the last several months this you who are on this list have disgraced yourselves and shown yourselves to be unworthy to be United States Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States. This entire immigration bill is a farce and your actions tell the American people that this bill is about despicable, self-serving politics.

The following Senators voted against making English the official language of America: Akaka (D-HI) Bayh (D-IN) Biden (D-DE) (wants to be President) Bingaman (D-NM) Boxer (D-CA) Cantwell (D-WA) Clinton (D-NY) (wants to be President) Dayton (D-MN) Dodd (D- MN) (wants to be President) Domenici (R-NM)(coward, protecting his senate seat) Durbin (D-IL) Feingold (D-WI) (not unusual for him) Feinstein (D-CA) Harkin (D-IA) Inouye (D-Hi) Jeffords (I-VT) (jumping Jim) Kennedy - (D-MA) Kerry (D-MA) (tried to be President) Kohl (D-WI) Lautenberg (D-NJ) Leahy (D-VT)Levin (D-MI) Lieberman (I-CT) (how disappointing) Menendez (D-NJ) Mikulski (D-MD) Murray (D-WA) Obama (D-IL) (wants to be President) Reed (D-RI) Reid (D-NV) (Senate Majority Leader) Salazar (D-CO) Sarbanes (D-MD) Schumer (D-NY)

I am reminded of a statement made by Jesus Christ (Mark 3:25):

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” That certainly goes for language as well.

English is the worldwide language of business and science(except medical..latin has fewer words but more precision). Spanish will never be the worldwide language of business and science because: 1. the vocabulary is too small. English borrows from all languages to give more nuance to the message(nuance is a french word). 2. Spanish averages about 40% more syllables to express the same message as English. Spanish is too slow for business and too limited in expression for science. Here’s an example we’ve all seen. The yellow cones in the airport say “cuidado, piso mohado” (9 syllables)in English, “caution, wet floor(4 syllables). Nuff said.

English is Americas official language. Someone please tell the socialist liberal demoncrates who pander to the ethnic villages that populate our cities are rural towns.

Mitt Romney supported English as the official language in Massachusetts. He acted to end bi-lingual education there.
