Political Quotes

“We are asking that English be the official language of government. We are trying to make sure that this Government conducts the language of its business in English, because that is the one unifying thing about America, is that that is the formula for success in America, a good work ethic and a command and knowledge of the language. We are not asking people to give up their culture, we are not asking people to stop teaching languages, we are not asking people to interact only in English. We are asking the Federal Government to do its business in English. And one of the reasons we are asking for that to be done is there is a growing trend in this country to accommodate 320 different languages in terms of the Federal Government conducting its business. I think it is time to stop that. We are trying to set policy that is good for the Nation, and the policy we are trying to set is simply this: That the Federal Government is going to conduct its business in the unifying language of America because that is good policy.”
