OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK ENGLISH

TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AND READ THIS LETTER.
THESE ARE STRONG,POWERFUL AND
COURAGEOUS WORDS COMING FROM A RETIRED COLONEL.
AND READ WHAT PRESIDENT LINCOLN HAD TO SAY AT THE END.

 
 
Thirty Three Senators,
 Including Clinton & Obama;
 Voted against English as,
America's Official Language.

On Wednesday June 6,2007,   
Colonel Harry Riley, USA , Ret. wrote:

Senators:

Your vote against an amendment,
To immigration Bill 1348;
To make English America's official language,
is astounding (and unacceptable).

On D-Day, no less, when we honor,
 Those that sacrificed in order to secure;
 The bedrock, character and principles of, 
These, our United States of America.


I can only surmise your vote,
Reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens; 
I don't much care where you come from, 
What your religion is or whether you're black.
White or some other color; male or female; Democrat, Republican or Independent.

I do care when you are a United States Senator, Representing Citizens of America;
And you chose to vote against English,
 As the official language of the United States.

Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, Violates our Pledge of Allegiance;
Dishonors historical principle,
And rejects Patriotism.

Borders on traitorous action and,
In my opinion,
Makes you unfit to serve,
as a United States Senator.

Impeachment,
Recall or;
 other appropriate action,
is warranted or worse.


Four of you voting against English,
 As America's Official Language;
Are Presidential Candidates: Senators Biden, Clinton, Dodd and Senator Obama.

Four Senators vying to lead America,
But won't or don't have the courage;
 To cast a vote in favor of 'English,' 
As America's Official language.

Ninety One percent of American Citizens,
 Want English designated as our language.

This is the second time in several months,
 This list of Senators have disgraced themselves; Unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified, To serve as President of the United States.

If America is as angry as I am,
You will realize a backlash so stunning;
 It will literally 'rock you out of your panties,
 And preferably totally out of the US Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce,
Your action only confirms this really isn't;
 About America; it is about self-serving politics; (You all are) despicable at best. 

It has been said: 'Never Argue with an Idiot, They'll drag you down to their level.' 
PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN

'Congressmen who willfully take actions,
 During wartime that damage morale and; Undermine the military are saboteurs,
And should be arrested, exiled or Hanged!!!'

Pass this along to everyone you know before the upcoming election
so that everyone possible may know the truth.
And the truth shall set us free.

English should be the OFFICAL language of our nation. Where did everything change and go wrong? Thanks for sharing this important message with us. Col. Riley made some valid points. I just read what Andre wrote in a review. Its pretty good!......M

English should be our official language! There should be no doubt about it! Can we go to any foreign country and tell them to change their language to suit us? How can any reasonable thinking person, expect us to do so? Thanks for sharing Paul!...ET

English should be the official language of America. When foreigners immigrated to America they should follow its traditional language and its culture, no matter where the foreigners are coming from. A country should never be swayed of its own tradition and cultures.

Colonel Riley presents a strong and valid argument. We are no longer a melting pot. We are a country dissected into communes, villages, neighborhoods, and communities of various nationalities and cultures who form their little pods where they carry on life as they knew it in their homeland. The point here is that a common language is needed for the sake of communication. A great deal of money is spent in public schools (ESOL Programs) to help foreign students learn to speak English. It is for their benefit so they can merge into the social system of the country they live in and interact with them.

Colonel Harry Riley, USA , Ret. made his point, and he is right from where he saw the situation; but there are more to be considered:

There is a COVENANT that commands that any language spoken by more than five per cent by any group of people within the jurisdiction of The United States Of America is an oficial language.

Once this country never had named a single language as its official language, considering the COVENANT that any language spoken by more than five per cent of the population is an official language, English is ONE of our official languages; and, presenting a BILL to approve it to be THE OFFICIAL language is a violation of the COVENANT, and most of all it is an act of ignorance of the basic principal of FREEDOM... and THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A true LICIT LEGAL CONGRESS would veto the BILL, not vote YES or NO. Those that voted YES ignored the COVENANT on the matter, and those that voted NO showed that they qualify to become a member of THE MORONITE ACADEMY OF THE ANTI-LAWS AMERICANS.

On the ILLEGAL ALLIENS MATTERS, one point to consider is that an illegal allien is one that has an expired VISA. The one that enters any U.S Jurisdiction without a VISA is an INVADER subject to NATIONAL SECURITY AND MARTIAL LAWS.

WE HAD AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ANY OF OUR OFFICIAL LANGUAGES ALREDAY.

THE CITIZENRY HAS THE OBLIGATION TO KNOW THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

So, why don't we start now asking people to obey the rules of the English language, and beg the literati not to violate it? Wouldn't that show that we honor "OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK ENGLISH"?

I salute You, Poet

Paul,

I agree with you whole heartedly, and in our state (Arizona) English was voted the official language. However, that cannot be enforced, because more people speak Spanish around here than English. English is the official language, and always was, but you can't arrest people for speaking in their native tongue.

Those in high office don't care what their constituants think - they're going to do what they're going to do - shame. No wonder no one wants to vote - I will, but does it matter? They don't listen to me. Thank you for sharing, Paul -
