Official Petition to the
U.S. House of Representatives

To Support H.R. 997, "the English Language Unity Act of 2009"

Whereas: H.R. 997, introduced by Rep. Steve King, would effectively end most cases of government mandated multilingualism, with some common sense exceptions;

Whereas: Polling figures consistently show that over 80% of Americans feel that the United States should make English its official language;

Whereas: For over 200 years, English has served as a linguistic bond that has brought us together as one nation and one people;

Therefore, Be It Resolved: That I support an immediate end to costly government multilingual programs. And furthermore, I urge you as my elected representative, to support H.R. 997, a bill that will eliminate wasteful government mandated multilingual projects and ensure government business is done primarily in English.
