Please understand that my objections to Senator Obama’s attempts to block English as our official language has to do with USA internal politics - and not a desire to shut out the rest of the world.

We currently have terrible immigration issues in the USA, that are bankrupting our society, not to mention creating more and more hostilities.

We have Spanish-speaking immigrants who not only refuse to learn English, they are settling in enclaves, displacing our legal citizens and agitating to take several USA states away from the US and give them back to Mexico.

More importantly, we have politicians here who are deviously working towards forming a North American Union, with a new currency (the “amero”) in place. With this North American Union,Canada, the U.S. and Mexico would have NO borders between them.

I can support the utilization of Esperanto and global communication wholeheartedly. I am opposed to the destruction of the USA.

I don’t know how disastrous immigration policies are in the UK (we only get bits and snippets of your news here) but it is rapidly deteriorating here.

It would be good if Americans were to look more favourably on learning languages other than a form of English.

I would like to argue the case for learning and using Esperanto. This is a planned language which belongs to no one country or group of states. Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net

Esperanto works! I’ve used it in speech and writing in a dozen countries over recent years.
Indeed, the language has some remarkable practical benefits. Personally, I’ve made friends around the world through Esperanto that I would never have been able to communicate with otherwise. And then there’s the Pasporta Servo, which provides free lodging and local information to Esperanto-speaking travellers in over 90 countries.

What do you think?
