Testimonials

I come from a deep heritage of Norwegians and even went to a Norwegian Language camp to learn the culture and language to preserve what my Grandfathers family left behind.  He migrated here when he was 9 years old and his family adopted all that America had to offer them.  They did not speak Norwegian anymore, only English. My grandfather did not want to return to the land he left, because to him America had provided at a time when Norway could not. 

I wish this strong and courageous view of adopting a new home land was the same today, instead of the current view of going to a new homeland and expecting it to change to meet your needs. Is it easy to fully embrace a new homeland? Of course not. [But] is it rewarding? Absolutely! Making English the official language of the US will unite people of all backgrounds. If the money spent on all [current] language [translations] was spent on English as a Second Language education and support for all those who migrate, it would make it much easier for all those transitioning. Immigrants will be able to assimilate faster and enjoy their experiences much more than if they do not know the language and the culture it provides. Please keep America strong and the people united!
