I feel that we, as U.S. Citizens,
must make or do something more drastic fo English to
become our official language.
I have written Representative Foley
of Florida with the idea that this be on our National
Ballot in 2004.
You know, Mr. Workings, if I had just
one or two interested people in my area and a
petition stating that official language was our wish,
I would so willingly go from door to door. Unlikely
as this seems, there are those of us who would give
of their time. You think this is improbable? I think
not. There are those of us like myself who know how
important English will be in our future.

Ed. note:
I do indeed believe that this writer and thousands of
others would join in a petition campaign. Having been
involved in citizen petition campaigns in many
states, I know the power of this kind of activism.
Knowing the success of the statewide campaigns, it
occurred to us a long time ago to conduct some sort
of national petition drive. While about half the
states have provisions for a statewide citizen
initiatve, there is no national citizen initiative
provision for a national ballot.
