Colonel Riley Letter to Congress


TAKE A FEW  MOMENTS AND READ THIS LETTER.  THESE ARE STRONG, POWERFUL AND COURAGEOUS WORDS COMING FROM A RETIRED COLONEL.AND READ WHAT  LINCOLN HAD TO SAY AT THE END.   WOW!


33 Senators  voted against English as America's official language on  June 6, 2007.    Of the  33, only one is a Republican and two are Independents;  the rest are  Democrats! On  Wednesday, June 6, 2007, at 23:35:23, Colonel Harry Riley,  USA-Ret. wrote:

Senators:

Your vote  against an amendment to Immigration Bill 1348 to make English America's  official language is astounding.  On D-Day, no less,  when we honor those who sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock,  character and  principles of America, I can only surmise your  vote reflects a loyalty to  illegal aliens.

I don't much  care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you're   black, white, or some other color, male or female, Democrat,  Republican or Independent, but I do care when you're a United States  Senator representing citizens of America and you vote against English as the  official language of   the United States.

Your vote  reflects betrayal and political surrender.  It violates your Pledge of Allegiance, dishonors  historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action  and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator.  Impeachment, recall or other appropriate action is  warranted  or possibly even worse.

Four of you  voting against English as America's official language are current or former  presidential candidates:  Senator Biden,  Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd  and Senator Obama.  You are and  were four Senators vying to lead America, but you won't or don't have  the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official  language when 91% of American citizens  want English officially  designated as our language.

This is the  second time in the last several months this list of Senators have  disgraced  themselves as 'political hacks' unworthy of being Senators  and certainly unqualified to serve as the President of the United  States.

If America is  as  angry as I am, you will realize a backlash so stunning it will  literally  'rock you out of your pants' and, preferably, totally out of the United  States Senate.  The entire immigration bill is a  farce.  Your action only confirms this really isn't about  America, it's about  self-serving politics and it's despicable at best.  It has been  said,  'Never argue with an idiot.  They'll drag you down to their  level!'
