The city of Lino Lakes, MN passed English as its official language to conduct official business.

Finally good judgement and good public policy in the United States of America.

I am proud to have worked with Councilman Roeser on this issue and express my support, as a naturalized U.S. citizen, for this measure.

Thanks to Jayne and the staff at ProEnglish for their support in the process with Lino Lakes, MN.

A decent article and finally a fair and ethical journalist.

Discussing one of my points noted in the article with a friend, I must elaborate a little. English “only” laws have become of importance because of several reasons. The expense, the chances of miscommunication when parties are translating, the message sent that “only” a few other languages are worth offering and finally the reality that non-English speakers coming to the U.S. present a challenge.

Immigration, whether legal or illegal presents a dire challenge and danger to the future of the United States because we cannot have a long enough buffet table of languages to serve the purpose of government. That purpose is to serve the WHOLE of the people for the best interest of the people of this country and the country as a WHOLE.

By offering language (X) or language (Y) in addition to English, we stand a chance of corruption and a diluting of American values and American progress.
