America The Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

English-only Law

Did you know that the United States does not have an official language?  However, some people in Minnesota want to have English-only in Minnesota.  This means that the government would print most documents in English only- no more Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Amharic, etc.  Please watch the video.  Do you see your friends?  What do you think?  Please click "Comments" to answer.
