Action Alert!

Urge Congress to Oppose Puerto Rico Statehood (H.R. 900)!
H.R. 900 would undermine"melting pot," divide America by language


Dear ProEnglish Supporter,

Act now to oppose Rep. Jose Serrano's (D-NY) H.R. 900, the “Puerto Rico Democracy Act of 2007” that would lead to Puerto Rico statehood.

H.R. 900 would transform the U.S. into an officially multilingual society overnight. This is because there is no provision in H.R. 900 that would require Puerto Rico to adopt English as the language of government.

If it upsets you now to have to press #1 for English, or to see ballots in foreign languages, just think how bad it will become if a Spanish-speaking state is added to the United States.

America should not have to suffer the conflict over language and culture that we see today in countries as diverse as Canada, India, and the former Yugoslavia.

Puerto Rico statehood will be used by radical groups like La Raza and the ACLU as a rationale for putting Spanish on equal footing with English, just as French-speaking Canadians have long insisted on doing in Canada.

Puerto Ricans have made great contributions to our country. But Puerto Rico must adopt English as its primary language before it becomes a state.

Take Action NOW! Tell Your Congressman to Oppose H.R. 900.
