Senate Votes to Set English as National Language - New York Times

This is ridiculous. We need this thing to be made into a law which states that no other media can be used except English in America on official documents and in business arenas.

The days of Press 1 for ENGLISH need to come to an end Pablo!!
Unless the government sticks it's nose into private business, which is supposed to be evil according to the cons, then press 1 for English is here to stay

I have a friend who speaks 3 languages. Instead of hatred or resentment, I'm envious of him.

Fine for your friend but there can be room for only one common language here in the US.
