Here is a another email that was in response to my inquiry from www.opencongress.org regarding the upcoming vote on H.R. 1164. It's passage would finally give America an actual language instead of an implied one.
My email to Congress:
H.R.1164 National Language Act of 2011
I am writing as your constituent in the 6th Congressional district of Washington. I support H.R.1164 - National Language Act of 2011, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.
As an American and soldier, I can only say that passage of a bill or amendment of this sort is long over due. World wide for business and commerce, English is the dominant language spoken. Also, as listed in the language of the document, it would not hinder those who already speak or wish to learn a foreign language. As a multi-linguist myself, I urge passage of this Act.
Sincerely,
Trevor Dodge
