33 Senator's Should Be On List As UnAmerican
33 Senators voted against English as America 's official language on June 6, 2007. Of the 33, only one is a Republican and two are Independents; the rest are Democrats!
On Wednesday, June 6, 2007, at 23:35:23, 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. On D-Day, no less, when we honor those who sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock, character and principles 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, whether you're black, white, or some other color, male or female, Democrat, Republican or Independent, but I do care when you're a United States Senator representing citizens of America and you vote against English as the official language of the United States.
Your vote reflects betrayal and political surrender. It violates your Pledge of Allegiance, dishonors historical principle, 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 possibly even worse.Four of you voting against English as America 's official language are current or former presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd and Senator Obama. You are and were four Senators vying to lead America, but you won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as "political hacks" unworthy of being Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as the 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 pants" and, preferably, totally out of the United States Senate. The entire immigration bill is a farce. Your action only confirms this really isn't about America , it's about self-serving politics and it's despicable at best. It has been said, "Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level!"

Wild Thing's comment........
This is a great letter that Colonel Harry Riley wrote.
What nerve it takes and a hate for America for a politician to vote against English to be our language. Whenever I traveled out of the country I always took a small language booklet with me of whatever the language was in the country I was going to. I was never good at speaking other languages but I at least tried, out of respect for the country where I would be visiting or working.
There are many languages spoken by those coming to this country and it is WRONG that we have press #2 for Spanish instead of letting them know they need to learn English if they plan on living here.
....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

I think Bush should make this mandate. Those who don't speak english should realize we aren't taking away their right to speak whatever language they speak in their homes, but they should learn english to converse in the real world--no more pointing at pictures to tell us what you want or buying the wrong thing and getting mad at the store clerk because you couldn't read the label. And I'm tired of losing jobs to those who don't speak english.
I'm not going to learn another language just to please them.
I was born here, as were generations upon generations of my family before me. No one coddled them--they HAD to learn english or they didn't survive--period!

The CONQUISTADORS can be proud of these treasonous gringos, si bonita senora WT? And in a time of war, eh? Thank GOD the Jamestown settlers prayed in ENGLISH 401 years ago! So 1/3 of our 100 US senators are scum-bags? Hmmmmm!

Speaking different languages only Balkanizes a country. America became the world's mightiest nation speaking English. It is a shame so many American entities, especially businesses put their ads and correspondence in Spanish. You know what is coming next. The demand for equality by providing business in Arabic.
These 33 Senators should be deported to some Third World crap hole.

Hmmmn, seems they all want to be addressed as 'honorable' too.
If 1/3 of the senators are scumbags what about the other 2/3 who are their peers? They,like the AMA,the NLG and the ACLU are as guilty as that 1/3 for not condemning their own ethical defects and traitors. Earn that introduction of honorable!!! Why limit that to the Senate, take the same premise to the entire Congress.

Previous generations of legal immigrants were proud to become part of the American dream and melting pot. Most learned English and those that couldn't made sure that their children did. The country flourished.
Now we have been invaded by millions of illegals who don't respect the Nation's heritage, laws, beliefs, and English language. It is not what they can do for the nation but what they can take from the nation. The country is no longer flourishing like it did before.
I wonder why? Shame on those in the Senate who violate their oath of office and are all too willing to destroy the great America that we were and should be again.

Lynn, I really hate how this kind of thing has effected your jobs and work. It is so very wrong and it has got to stop. I don't know how but I can't stand it.
It weakens our country too in many ways.

Darth yes they are that is just what they are. haha scumbags one and all. Hear ye hear ye that is what they are.
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 28, 2008 07:10 PM
Tom, your right and that is exactly what I am thinking will happen too. Arabic will be next. waaaaaaaaaaa
Posted by: Wild Thing at March 28, 2008 07:12 PM
Jack yes, and the ones left will probably be 2 or 3 lone conservatives. Sigh what a mess.

Les that is true and it seems the only ones wanting an exception made are the ones coming in from Mexico. I really even doubt it is other groups that speak Spanish. Cubans in Florida want to become as American as they can, and speak English very well.

W's sister-in-law is Mexican and married to Jeb Bush ... nada way Jose?

Darth, yes that probably has a lot to do with Bush's love for amnesty and illegals.
