Governor Vetoes S.B. 242!

Please call Gov. Schwarzenegger to thank him for vetoing S.B. 242!

S.B. 242 is the bill that sought to amend California's civil rights laws and make language a protected civil right like national origin, sex, and race. ProEnglish was one of only three organizations to officially oppose this legislation which was backed by the ACLU, the Anti-Defamation League, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the NAACP, AFSCME, the California Federation of Teachers, the California Nurses Association, and the California Immigrant Policy Center among others.

Thousands of you responded to our earlier alert asking you call Gov. Schwarzenegger and urge him to veto this bill. Thank you!

Please call Governor Schwarzenegger again and thank him for vetoing S.B. 242.

Governor Schwarzenegger - (916)-445-2841

What has made America great was celebrating the things we had in common and allowing the differences... not forcing the differences on everyone!

Pro-English News

U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has introduced a bill, H.R. 1228, to repeal Presidential Executive Order 13166, which forces government offices and federal contractors to provide services in multiple languages.

The order - which was never debated or approved by Congress -- is an attempt by government bureaucrats to force multilingualism on the American people.

The Office of Management and Budget estimates it already costs taxpayers billions of dollars annually. When fully implemented, the cost will be enormous.

Please email your representative and urge them to co-sponsor H.R.1228.
