HELP MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE! TAKE ACTION!

URGE YOUR SENATORS TO PASS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE UNITY ACT (S. 991)

Dear ProEnglish Supporter,

Yesterday Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) introduced a companion bill in the Senate to Rep. Steve King's H.R. 997, The English Language Unity Act of 2009 that would make English the official language of the United States. He did so on the same day his home state of Oklahoma passed an official English constitutional amendment in the Oklahoma House by a vote of 89-8! That measure will be on the ballot in Oklahoma in 2010.

The English Language Unity Act of 2009, S.991:

*Requires the federal government to communicate officially in English, including informational materials and forms.

*Creates a uniform standard for testing English proficiency in the naturalization process.

*Requires that naturalization ceremonies be conducted in English.

S.991 also nullifies Executive Order 13166, the federal mandate that requires federal fund recipients including state and local governments, to provide translations and interpreters for non-English speaking residents.

Throughout our history, Americans have expected immigrants to assimilate. But today government multilingualism threatens to destroy the 'Melting Pot' that enabled us to forge one nation out of millions of immigrants from every nation on earth.

Despite the overwhelming desires of the American people, Congress still has not acted to make English the official language of the United States.

Please send an email to your two U.S. Senators urging them to support S.991! Please click "Take Action" in the upper right hand corner. (Please click on link below):

Official English will be a keystone in assimilation!

English is about, if not the, only thing that brings any together. Definately forget race, relegion, culture,.....they only means to have 1 common bond is English.

Yes, English is the language that has bound immigrants from all over the world and people already here in the U S, together for centuries now. 1 Language for 1 People.
