I recently received an email from a concerned friend that was designed to alert me to a very serious problem we have in the ranks of our Washington "leadership". No matter who you may support in the upcoming election, this information is very unsettling. If 91% of our population is against a particular issue and you found out that certain presidential candidates had voted against that issue, would that concern you?

Senators,
Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America's offical language is astounding.
On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America. I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.
I don't much care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you're black, white or some other color, male or female, democrat, republican or independent, but I do care when you're a United States Senator, representing citizens of America and vote against English as the official language of the United States.
Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, violates your pledge of allegiance, dishonors historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator... impeachment, recall, or other appropriate action is warranted.
Worse yet, 4 of you voting against English as America 's official language are Presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.
Those 4 Senators vying to lead America but won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as political hacks... unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualifed to serve as President of the United States.
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties... and preferably, totally out of the United States Senate.
The entire immigration bill is a farce... your action only confirms this really isn't about America ; it's about self-serving politics... despicable at best.

Did you notice that almost ALL of these voters against English were in the SAME PARTY? There's a real lesson here! Vote your heart, but don't forget to use your head!
