There are several ways in which you can become actively involved in helping U.S.ENGLISH to make English our nation’s official language.

1. Testimonials. U.S.ENGLISH’s Government Relations Department is asking U.S.ENGLISH members and supporters to provide us with written testimonials of personal experiences regarding English as our common language.

We want you to tell us why Official English is important to you and why local, state, and federal governments should pass legislation making English the official (common) language. Copies of these testimonials will be forwarded to your legislators, representatives, and senators to show the personal support of U.S.ENGLISH members in their constituencies. This is a chance to make your voice heard.

Testimonials should be typewritten (if possible) and mailed to Government Relations Department.

2. Contacting Your Elected Officials. Another way to assist our efforts is to contact your elected officials and ask them to support English as our nation’s official language.

3. Examples of Multilingual Government. The U.S.ENGLISH Research Department is collecting examples of government use of languages other than English, such as bilingual ballots, multilingual forms, or letters written in other languages. If you come across any such materials, please mail them to our Research Department.

4. Writing Letters to the Editor. Writing letters to the editor of your local newspaper is a good way to spread the word about the importance of English as our common language. If you would like free information on how to write letters to the editor, please write to our Media Department.
