Just, FYI, this is not the first time someone has tried to make English the official language. It was done at least once that I recall during President Clinton's terms.

There's also the difference of Congress wanting to pass this legislation and President Bush fueling it, are you guys positive it's Bush pushing it forward, especially given his homestate of Texas is one of the 23 states that have NOT enacted an official English law in their state constitution? There are 27 states that have, including California, and as one of your comments stated, their state (Indiana) and Illinois both have enacted official English legislation.

Y'know, I'm all for Bush bashing because he's not a very good president, but it's good to know some of the story before bashing.
