Write Letters to Your Elected Officials

Write letters to your elected officials expressing your strong support for making English the official language of the United States. Members of Congress pay more attention to letters from their constituents than to telephone calls. Take the time to write, even if it is just a brief note.

Be sure to state the bill number for the legislation you are writing to support. In the House, this is H.R. 997, the English Language Unity Act of 2007. Use specific arguments, being persuasive and demanding. Don’t just inform them of your opinion, go further and request them to:

1. Co-sponsor official English legislation if they have not done so already. (Click here for a list of current H.R.997 cosponsors.)
2. Support this legislation in committee and bringing this legislation to the floor of the House for a vote.
3. Keep you informed of their position and how they are working to ensure that all Americans share the common bond of English.

Please feel free to send U.S. English, Inc. copies of any replies you may receive from your elected officials on the subject of official English. Click here to find contact information for your elected officials.
