CHARLES A. GONZALEZ: “Texas has been, is, and will remain an energy State.”

What Mr. King's bill tries to do is not protect the English language, but to encourage us to have some basic commonality of communication.

I actually see that we are ignoring things that are systemic that took over a number of years to develop in this country.

I encourage you all, if we can address the issues of Section 163 and not make it binding where it will be illegal for me to communicate in an official capacity with my constituency, I would encourage you to fix that or vote this bill down.

This country is about inclusion, not exclusion.
