(Washington, DC)– US Representative Sue Myrick (NC-09) received the “A In English” award from U.S. English, Inc. last week.

“I am pleased to present this award to Rep. Myrick for her efforts to unite our diverse nation under the common language of English,” said Mauro E. Mujica, Chairman of the Board of U.S. English, Inc.  “At a time when there is renewed interest toward preserving what unites us as a nation, we are grateful to Rep. Myrick for her dedicated and enthusiastic support of this issue”.

“It only makes sense that English should be the official language of the United States,” said Rep. Myrick.  “Those who come to this country and wish to become a part of it should take the initiative to learn the language spoken here – it’s part of becoming an American”.
