I was just checking the votes on the Senate's web page for how Senators voted on recent amendments. I discovered that Fl Senator Mel Martinez did not even BOTHER to vote on the amendment declaring English as the offical language of the US. What a coward! HE didn't want to lose any potential votes from supporters and opponents so he very conveniently did not vote. Sorry Mel, to me that is the same as having voted NO. If you can't be present to vote for something as important as the official language of our country, you're lazy and a coward, and playing politics to avoid having to pay the consequences for your voting record.
