English Language
During my time in Congress, I have strongly supported making English our official language. Throughout our history as a nation, the English language has been the glue which binds us together as Americans. However, during the past four decades the federal government has imposed such misguided programs as bilingual education and bilingual voting ballots. These programs have been a disaster, dividing our country by language and leaving immigrants in linguistic ghettos.
As Theodore Roosevelt said: "we have room for but one language, the language of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the language of the Declaration of Independence—the English language."
That is why I am again introducing the National Language Act which will establish English as our official language and end bilingual programs. Special interests will continue to oppose my efforts, but I will keep up the fight.
