Please join this specific Facebook page to support and follow efforts to enforce Tennessee law, enacted in 1984, which mandates English to be the official language.

Despite the law, agencies are usurping the law by providing non-essential services in other languages. The process shall begin with passage of legislation making English the sole language to administer the Tennessee driver’s license exam.

Having one language as the testing language for permanent legal residents will ensure:
1. All motorists will effectively communicate with other motorists and emergency personnel and be able to read English written road signs and Amber Alerts.
2. Save Tennessee taxpayers over $ 300,000 used to fund other languages for tests, pamphlets and computerized testing equipment.
3. Encourage all legal immigrants who seek Tennessee as their place of residence to learn English.

Government or taxpayers should not be forced to fund translators or interpreters.

I am of Cuban descent, but do not and will not condone that anyone from another country should hide behind the mask of not learning English or using that as an excuse. In this case, I have spoken with the prosecuting assistant district attorney (ASA) and sheriff deputy on the scene for this tragic fatal accident.

Confirmed by the reporter, the ASA and deputy, the defendant DIDN’T know any English despite being in the U.S. for five years. Albeit, he was drag-racing, the underlying fact is that his inability to understand English may have contributed to this fatality.

According to the deputy and a Florida Department of Transportation official, several English written signs were erected alerting motorists that the road ahead:

1. Was narrowing
2. the 4 lanes were converging to 2 lanes
3. “Pavement Uneven”

Mile Marker 8 in the Lower Keys is almost “smack” in front of the Naval Air Station so there is a lot of traffic and activity. To drag race alone is senseless, to drag-race near this base is ridiculous, but to cause a fatality and the assumption that the defendant couldn’t understand these English written signs are a clear indication that we need to have the driver’s license exam administered in English for public safety.

In today’s Peoples World he claims an “historic victory” in the health care front and looks forward to more more battles on the road to American socialism.

Lopez makes it clear that Obamacare is only a first step on the road to fully socialized healthcare “enshrined in the Bill of Rights, as an amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing free health care for all as a basic human right”.
