Fed up with “Press 1 for English?”

http://capwiz.com/proenglish/issues/alert/?alertid=11196606

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) is trying to do something about it.

She has introduced a bill, S. 2719, to repeal Presidential Executive Order 13166, which forces government offices and federal contractors to provide services in multiple languages.

The order – which was never debated or approved by Congress -- is an attempt by government bureaucrats to force multilingualism on the American people without their consent.

The Office of Management and Budget estimates it already costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually. When fully implemented, the cost will be astronomical.

For example doctors and hospitals participating in Medicare face government prosecution if they fail to provide interpreters for non-English speaking patients free of charge. The order also covers state and local government agencies.

The American people or their elected representatives never voted to transform the United States into a multicultural ‘Tower of Babel.’
TAKE ACTION

Urge your senators to repeal Exec. Order 13166.

Hi! I received your question today at The Chocolistas:

"How do I vote every day?"

You should be able to just select your favorite name every day. If for some reason you are not able to do this, please email me at:

dbstout[at]juno[dot]com

I will be happy to look into this immediately...I know only a couple more days to vote!

In case you are confused by receiving this from Brines and not Chocolistas, I should tell you...my sister-in-law and I are The Chocolistas. I also have two more blogs, Comfort Joy Designs and A Cup of Joy. My sister-in-law has her own also, Mommie Daze.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Have A Happy Day!
