Gingrich urges Congress to pass official English legislation
"America simply cannot be held together without a common unifying language and that is the English language," Gingrich said. "Without a common language and culture, America risks breaking apart into factionalized subgroups, each claiming their own unique identity and their own unique rights in a way which will destroy the most successful, integrated society in the history of the human race." ProEnglish Executive Director K.C. McAlpin noted that, by more than
a 2-to-1 margin, Americans say Congress and the president are not doing
enough to defend English's historic role as the unifying language of the
United States. And 78 percent think that the government should do more
to help immigrants learn English. These were some of the findings of a
recent poll by Zogby International for ProEnglish, an Arlington, Va.-based
national organization that advocates for making English the official language.
