Voting ballots in spanish; Heard about this on the radio the other day congress wants to vote making it law that all voting ballots be in english. ( All republican senators support the law from what I understood )
Common Sense dictates that this need not be in law. Americans speak english, Anyone that doesnt speak english probably is'nt an American.
We're all used to D.C. wiping on fine parchment, but when local leaders do it, well that is when the stink really smells.
ARGHHH
the drum marches on!

show some sensitivity to our illegal alien non english speaking guests.
4 lbs pull of sensitivity.. that would do it.
Yeah be sensitive, real sensitive..
Albert you are an unprescribed pill.. You come on here mad as all hell about illegals, then you tell us how you hired them.
Your admission of guilt and treason has not nor will not be forgotten; Which goes for every traitor in this country! In this new age we all have the ability to learn facts and fallacies most good people will be able to distinguish the latter.
Most sober people have good memorys, Avoid the pill pushing doctors and the local dope yocal and you stand a pretty good chance too!
This is, or was America.
Conservative beliefs; Liberal execution; Independent views.

Just make English the OFFICIAL language. Outlaw all the advertising in Spanish. Driving through Houston, you would think you were in Mexico or some other Spanish speaking country. Either learn the language or go back to your country of origin.
From what I hear, you would be well-served to learn Spanish. Why? Because, in a very short time you will be a minority. As an aside; It appears that a great percentage of the ones complaining about another language being spoken here are not fluent in the English language themselves (as evidenced in many posts on this forum). Think about it.[:)]
and Im proud to be an american where at least I know Im free....and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me....
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land.
God bless the USA
Thats My national anthem!!![;)]

Although the United States has no official language, it's largely monolingual with English being the de facto official language. It's spoken by about 82 percent of the population as a native language and nearly everyone as a daily language. There also have been moves in the past to make English the official language of the United States, but so far, this has been just a minor political issue.
Approximately 336 languages are spoken by the population (spoken or signed) of which 176 are indigenous to the area. 52 languages formerly spoken in the country's territory are now extinct (Grimes 2000).
Spanish is taught as a second language to some extent, especially in areas with large Hispanic populations such as the states which border Mexico, as well as Florida and New York. Younger generations of non-Hispanics seem to be learning Spanish in larger numbers, thanks to the growing Hispanic population and increasing popularity of Latin American movies and music performed in the Spanish language. Over 30 million Americans, roughly 12% of the population, speak Spanish, making the U.S. the fifth largest Spanish speaking population in the world after Mexico, Colombia, Spain, and Argentina.
Chinese, mostly of the Cantonese dialect, is the third largest language spoken in the United States, almost completely spoken within Chinese-American populations and by immigrants or the descendants of immigrants, especially in California. Many young Americans not of Chinese descent have become interested in learning the language (mostly due to a perception of increased business opportunities available in China's growing economy), though it is the Mandarin dialect that is mostly taught. Over 2 million Americans speak Chinese dialects.

If you can't speak English well enough you shouldn't be able to become a naturalized citizen, right? Isn't that part of the testing?
Since only citizens can vote, it makes bilingual voting a moot point.
BTW. I sometimes click "Espanol" on the selfcheckout at teh grocery store, simply because I am tired of a clanker (computer) treating me like a child with its instructions [:D]
I'm already a minority in Texas. Where's my gubment check!
Many States have similar, parallel laws for State-wide decisions, as do local jurisdictions.
We are a nation of many colors, nationalities and customs---who be it for the majority to start stepping on the necks of his neighbor? Some say "Majority Rules," but if that were the case, then black slavery would still exists, women would not have a vote and civil rights would be non-existent.
If you really want to live in such a monocultural society, move to Iran---they are pretty-much exclusive.

I think good ole Lee screwed up the national anthem a few years back at Bristol Raceway and got boo'ed.

With the schools being "slowed down" in normal education in the past
years to "accomodate" non english speakimg students, is it any wonder
some are not FLUENT in english and other subjects taught in public schools ??? And now it looks like we will have 12,000,000 more to slow
things down even more.
