ALERT: This week Rep. Steve King (R-IA) introduced the "English Language Unity Act" (H.R. 997) in the U.S. House of Representatives. This bill would designate English as the country's official language and require immigrants to learn English before becoming naturalized citizens -- finally bringing back the original idea of an American "melting pot" where immigrants from all over can be assimilated into American culture.

The purpose of the bill is simple:


"To declare English as the official language of the United States, to establish a uniform English language rule for naturalization, and to avoid misconstructions of the English language texts of the laws of the United States, pursuant to Congress' powers to provide for the general welfare of the United States and to establish a uniform rule of naturalization under article I, section 8, of the Constitution."
The bill currently has 28 co-sponsors, but that number could increase over time. The last version, introduced in the previous Congress, garnered 164 co-sponsors before it died in committee. With the support of more than one-third of the House, last session's measure ranked as one of the most widely supported bills in the 109th Congress.

We MUST NOT let this one die -- America needs "unity in diversity," encouraging English fluency and avoiding a multilingual government.

TAKE ACTION: Rep. King said in a statement as he introduced his bill, "English is the language of opportunity in America. The best way for our newcomers to work toward their own success is through our common bond of language."

Making English the official language of the United States is supported by more than four-fifths of all Americans and nearly two-thirds of Hispanics according to polls taken in 2006. A June 2006 Rasmussen poll found that 85 percent of Americans support such measures.

Congress needs to heed their constituents -- and American history -- by supporting Rep. King's bill. Click below NOW to send a FREE message to your Congressman, asking him or her to SUPPORT H.R. 997, the "English Language Unity Act":
