English as Native Language?

Please cite the bill and your sources, as a search of the Library of Congress legislative record shows NO such legislation introduced nor vote taken.\n\nThere was a measure introduced in the HOUSE in 2005 (109th CONGRESS, 1st Session, H. R. 997).  The only SENATE action was May 1, 2006 (109th CONGRESS, 2d Session, S. RES. 458), which did NOT call for English to be the national language, but rather for the Star-Spangled Banner to be recited or written only in English.  Anyone voting against THIS measure would do so because it's an obvious violation of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.\n\nI support making English the official language, but there's no way to compel people to sing a song only in English.  That's about as fascist or communist as it gets.  Besides, it's pretty damn cool that there are non-English speakers who want to sing OUR anthem at all.  I hope they learn it in English, but if they are praising OUR country, it's all good.\n\n[ADDED] Thanks for following up with your citation.  The amendment you mention calls for English to be the official language.  I don't know, but my guess is that the Senators you mention voted for the other amendment about language, introduced 5/18 by Salazar of Colorado and cosponsored by Kennedy, among others.  The amendment, 4073, declares English to be the common and unifying language of the United States.  Details:\n\nS.AMDT.4073 \nAmends: S.2611 \nSponsor: Sen Salazar, Ken [CO] (submitted 5/18/2006) (proposed 5/18/2006) \nAMENDMENT PURPOSE:\nTo declare that English is the common and unifying language of the United States, and to preserve and enhance the role of the English language. \n\n---\nYou should recognize that everyone's singing the same tune about English - it's an issue of degree.  Note that BOTH amendments passed.  You should also recognize that both amendments are tied to the same bill, S. 2611, concerning immigration reform.

Most public libraries offer free English as a Second Language classes.  It looks like you already have a fairly good working knowledge of the written language, so you are off to a good start.  Good Luck!

You can write that English is an universal language which is spoken by people of all cpountries. Write some of the uses you know like we can speak to a foreigner in English only etc.\n I will give you a very nice last paragraph  and I guess you will get atleast 8/10 with it. Read it\n Imagine the world as a village. Think that the different countries are like the huts. English is like the windows of the huts. If you don't know English, the windows of your hut will be shut and you have to live in a dark room.
