Senators (for now in some casess),
Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America's official language is astounding. On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America
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
Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, 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.
Worse, 4 of you voting against English as
Those 4 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 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 as Senators and certainly unqualifed to serve as President of the United States.
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties...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

Traitorous action? Are you fucking kidding me? A vote over an official language?
Nevermind that we've managed to survive for over 200 years since we ratified our Constitution WITHOUT an official language as per capita immigration has actually decreased. Why are we (the strongest military powerhouse on the planet) so threatened by those who speak other languages on our soil when the vast majority of countries in the world have NO official language and commonly speak multiple languages within their borders? I smell a neo-fascist.
People really should find more important issues to whine about that actually pose a threat to the civil liberties of this country... like warrantless searches, government surveillance of civilians, labeling dissenters as "enemies of the state", government sanctioned torture in military prisons, privatized military units like Blackwater operating without accountability to the American people, the growing movement toward a Christian theocracy, serious proposals to amend the Constitution to deny gay marriage, and a news media that panders to profit and the politics of corporatate elite.
Americans wouldn't be so bent out of shape about an official language if they weren't too lazy or stupid to become bilingual. We have the largest population of monolingual people on the planet. Globalization is here, folks, and we're so distracted with scratching our asses, watching our reality television, and buying shit we don't need on credit to notice that we're behind the curve. Hell, China just became the largest English-speaking country in the world. If we weren't so damn enthocentric and self-righteous we might actually take a minute to LEARN something about the world instead of forwarding propaganda from right-wing think tanks to make us feel better about our simple-minded, self-centered existence.
Really... traitorous? Pathetic.
Ice shelves are breaking up, the US has a $9.4 Trillion debt, we're spending billions each month on the war in Iraq, our economy is in recession with the value of the dollar dropping everyday, we're the most obese nation in the world (ranked 46th in the world in life expectancy), 180,000 Floridians were disenfranchised during the 2000 presidential election and nobody seems to mind(http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch9.htm), our education system and technology is lagging behind the rest of the high-income nations...
and somebody seriously wants me to give a shit about the a legal formality that would essentially confirm what we've known for our entire national history:
Americans speak English! Holy shit! Alert the press!
LMFAO, no, let me get this straight... I'm supposed to condem our elected leaders, NAY impeach them, for failing to support the ideology of a national language because it violates the Pledge of Allegiance? Now which version of the Pledge exactly... the first one that lasted for 31 years:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
or the second one that lasted for another 31 years:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
or the third version that's been around since 1954:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Should I be offended that our Great Seal of the United States and our currency all contain our motto in Latin?!? Or should I live as if that motto, which honors the strength of our diversity, is a way of life for all Americans?
E pluribus Unum
"Out of many, One."
