Three NEW English bills introduced in Congress!

Tell your Rep. that these English bills need his support. Take Action!


May 18, 2011

Your calls and emails over the past two weeks have helped propel the number of cosponsors on Rep. Steve King's English Language Unity Act (H.R. 997) from 63 to 85! Supporters like you have sent close to 10,000 email messages (and that doesn't even include your phone calls) to Capitol Hill!

With your continued efforts, we will continue to increase the level of support for English legislation and send a clear message to the House Leadership that Americans want Congress to make English the official language.

TAKE ACTION!

1. Representative Peter King's (R-NY) H.R. 1164, the National Language Act, makes English the official language of the United States. It differs from H.R. 997 in that it also repeals multilingual voter ballots. Foreign language voter ballots encourage voting by non-citizens - a violation of federal law.

2. Representative Peter King's (R-NY) H.R. 1307, to repeal Presidential Executive Order 13166, which forces government offices and federal contractors to provide services in multiple languages. This Executive Order can be repealed by President Obama with the stroke of his pen or Congress can pass Rep. Peter King's bill to declare it "null and void."

3. Representative Virginia Foxx's (R-NC) H.R.1715, the Multilingual Services Accounting Act, would end speculation on the cost of multilingual government services. It also requires more transparency in the Government's accounting practices and more accountability with the use of taxpayer money. Americans deserve to know how their money is being spent.
