"A common
language unites us, multiple languages will
surely divide us."
- Senator S.I. Hayakawa
ELPAC
publishes the Official English Legislation
Congressional Report Card to help people know
their Congressional representatives' positions on
Official English. The votes graded here are from
1997-1998.
The
1998 Report Card remains posted here because
there is no 2000 Report Card. Congress made only
a few minor decisions on language issues in
1999-2000, leaving us without enough useful data
to produce a meaningful Report Card.
Each
name is preceded by a letter indicating the
Member's grade. A grade of A is the highest
possible -- these Members are good friends and
supporters of English. A grade of F is the lowest
possible -- these Members have voted and
otherwise worked against measures that would
protect and enhance the role of English in our
society.
ELPAC
needs your help to build a majority in Congress
favoring English as our Official Language.
Please
review the candidates' grades listed here.
Support candidates with a high grade and oppose
those who received a low grade.
