Congressman Tom Graves, Georgia 14<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON, DC OFFICE Dalton Daily Citizen<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Letters to the editor<\/p>\n June 30, 2014<\/p>\n Press Graves on English language bill<\/strong><\/p>\n In our \u201cpress one for English\u201d politically-correct environment, far too few Americans realize that unlike most nations, the United States has no official language. We assume that Republican Rep. Tom Graves is aware of that sad fact.<\/p>\n Pro-English constituents may want to take advantage of the July 4 break for Congress and ask Mr. Graves while he is home from the Washington, D.C., bubble why he has not signed on to co-sponsor HR 997<\/a>, \u201cthe English Unity Act of 2015.\u201d This important legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in February of last year.<\/p>\n Does Graves have an objection to the nation being bound by an official language? We hope not. A common language is the most unifying force known throughout history. If people can talk to each other, they can find commonality on most other matters.<\/p>\n It is difficult to imagine that this never came up in the primary race or that a negative position on official English would increase support for any Republican politician who ran as \u201ca conservative.\u201d<\/p>\n We hope Rep. Graves is given an opportunity to explain his position on official English and his apparent reluctance to help pass this important bill, HR 997.<\/p>\n D.A. King<\/p>\n Marietta<\/p>\n
