Senate English Vote Press Clippings
CNS News (quotes English First).
Calcutta India Telegraph front page story: "Two hundred and thirty years after America won its independence from the British, English is finally the national language of the US. Well, almost."
Chicago Tribune blogger Sam Denov
Finally, the U.S. Senate has passed a measure to make English the national language of the United States. Shame on our two Illinois Senators for having voted against the measure. Our founding fathers never dreamed of including such a measure in our Constitution simply because they were all English speaking and erroneously concluded that our nation would never use any language other than English as a common language.
Andy Martin, former Florida English activist, credits the illegal alien marches with reviving the English issue.
Dale McFeatters of Scripps-Howard editorialized:
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid denounced the measure as "racist." Although expecting people to learn the language of their adopted nation is hardly racist and not at all unusual, this shows how emotional the debate over immigration reform has become, and also how Hispanic-entric.
