Heller Introduces Bill to Require English Only Ballots

May 6, 2008

(Washington, DC) – Today U.S. Congressman Dean Heller (R-NV) introduced the American Elections Act to require English only ballots for federal elections.

“As Secretary of State, the number one question I was asked was, ‘why are ballots printed in Spanish?’ Maintaining national unity requires adoption of a common language – a task that only Congress can undertake. The American Elections Act is a first step toward bringing linguistic unity to our election system,â€

Since he's my Rep. in the House, I've had quite a bit of correspondence with Rep. Heller on the issue of illegal immigration and according to that, I think he shares ALIPAC's view on illegal immigration. He's also a member of the Immigration Reform Caucus in the House. I think he's on our side.

That's good news. Exactly where is that district?

Nevada.

This would be a good first step....ballots for elections, and next ...driver licensing requirements. Speak and write English..it it the American common language. We must keep working on maintaining our language and our culture.

Even though I'm in California I will e-mail him and thank him for looking out for OUR best interests! We need to contact and thank all congressmen who share our common goal and let them know they are appreciated.

Actually the link had his D.C. office number so I called and left a message for Rep. Heller. I hope everyone joins in.
