http://www.senate.gov actually makes it pretty easy to electronically contact your senator and tell them your preferences. I personally oppose governmental multilingualism — I do not want any language but English to be used as the official language of the government. I do not like seeing every sign, instruction booklet, menu and IRS form written in other languages by requirement. I do not want businesses to be forced to encourage the “lack of assimilation” going on in America by spending their hard-earned and over-taxed money to re-print signs and hire bilingual employees and cater to those who don’t want to learn how to be an American.
America speaks English. Period. To allow anything else (in an official manner of course) is to nourish a dependent attitude upon the immigrants. I favor immigration, and I favor preservation of various cultures, no matter what they are. I do not extend this immigration and preservation to include forced appeasement of integrating these cultures into our tax-funded activities.
Here’s the gist — President Clinton signed Executive Order 13166 and by doing so, made it mandatory for the federal government to provide certain services and programs in any language requested, on demand. I don’t think our tax money should be used to support this and prevent assimilation into English-based America.
There’s an amendment to the HUD appropriate bill in the Senate (Amendment #2088 to HR #3058\) that in effect overturns or in general severely limits this Executive Order. I find that to be a good thing. So I’m telling my Senators (Cornyn and Hutchison) that I want them to vote in approval of this amendment.
I encourage anyone reading this to figure out what you think, which side you’re on and tell your Senator. It’s the only way they can know what you think.
I’m ok with you disagreeing with me, but I’m even more ok if you tell your Senator. I care more that you contact your Senator than you agree with me. If you agree with me, then that’s just icing… 
So go to http://www.senate.gov and pick your state and go to the contact form for that Senator. Alternatively, you can dial the Capital Hill switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for the Senator’s offices for your state.
