Arizona | Proposition 103: English as Official Language
Would make English the official language of the state of Arizona and significantly reduce government sponsorship and funding of dual language-printed material for circulation.

Now how do we get this on the ballot for the other 49 states?

Maybe in the 2008 election we can get it on the national ballot.

I thought the fact that the national language was officially English that all the states abided by that law...This is sounding a bit like the way it was before the formation of the Union...All the states wanted different laws...History repeats itself, and all that...

Henderson can you provide a link about your claim to English being the official language of the country at the federal level? Everything I am finding contradicts your claim.

As for the states having different laws, that's how its supposed to be in a federal system such as ours. I think I am going to spend a little time and locate a good Constitutional Law history for you and some of our other young Americans as I am becoming rapidly convinced that our education system is NOT educating you guys on this. Conventional wisdom does not translate to truth.

By English gentlemen, do you mean the Queen's or that corruption of the English language spaked badly in the colonies?

At the federal level...I cant. But most people assume that its English.

One of the few times I agree with you!

Oh well...Since it isn't, it should be...What kind of nation would we be if we had to have translators for a Congressional meeting because every state speaks a different language? Not a very united one, thats for sure.

The United States of America does not have a legal official language.

As a immigrant I support the move. Folks coming to the USA should become American. Learn the lingo.
