Approximate 40 folks showed up to "Support Our Troops" to waving and honking passersby at our last rally. It was a great way to spend a Saturday, honoring the guys and gals who serve our nation so diligently.

Cities, States Consider
English Measures

Cities and states across the United States, against a setting of increased immigration debate, are trying to make English the official language.
     Arizona has a measure pending for its ballot, USA Today reported. Bills have passed one chamber in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Michigan and await action in the other. At least five communities approved English ordinances while another eight are considering them. The U.S. Senate version of an immigration bill includes a language provision as well.
     While specific language varies, the propositions generally say government business must be conducted in English, except for emergency services.  By federal law, election information must be available in other languages as well.
     Supporters said the measures aren't anti-immigrant because they help immigrants assimilate into the United States, USA Today said. Critics disagree, saying, among other things, that such measures deprive non-English-speaking people the right to information in a language they understand.
     Twenty-seven states have passed laws making English their official language.  The state of Washington is not one of them.  See http://www.us-english.org/

Prepare those letters to lawmakers.
   The Legislature is now in session.
