Powerful words from a courageous man

Senators:
Your vote against an amendment to the immigration Bill 1348.... to make
English America's official language is astounding.

On D-Day, no less, when we honor those that sacrificed in order to
secure the bedrock, character and principles of America, I can only
surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.

I don't much care where you come from What your religion is. Whether
you're black, white, or some other color...male or female......Democrat,

Republican or Independent....... But I do care when you are a United
States Senator representing Citizens of America ..and Vote against
English as the official language of the United States

Your vote reflects Betrayal. Political Surrender.. Violates Your Pledge
of Allegiance. Dishonors historical principle. Rejects Patriotism.
Borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to
serve as a United States Senator...impeachment... Recall........Or other

appropriate action is warranted, or worse.


Four of you voting against English as America's Official Language are
Presidential Candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd
and Senator Obama.

Four Senators vying to lead America, but won't, or don't, have the
courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's Official
Language when 91% of American Citizens want English officially
designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators

have disgraced themselves as 'political Hacks'..... Unworthy as Senators

and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States .

If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning
it will literally 'rock you out of your socks'......... And preferably
totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce... Your action only confirms this

really isn't about America... it is about self-serving
politics......despicable at best. It has been said: 'Never Argue with an
Idiot....They'll drag you down to their level!'
PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID: 'Congressmen who willfully take actions

during wartime that damages morale and undermine the military are
saboteurs and should be arrested, quickly tried and hanged!!!'
