The Oklahoma Legislature passed a resolution in 2009 that provided for a public referendum on whether to make English the official language of the state. The resolution, which will appear on the election ballot in November, makes English the official language of the State of Oklahoma, and requires all official actions be conducted in English.

 

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) asked Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan about the Oklahoma referendum in his written submitted questions on July 2nd.
