Sends strong message Arizona's leaders

Governor Janet Napolitano this is my only gripe with you. Why should we the people pay for English language instruction and Spanish printed on forms for citizens. I have been to Mexico and to many other countries and you know that I had to be responsible to learn there language on my own dime. Their governments do not waste either their time or money even talking about it (of coarse, tourists are different) so why do we?

If you move to Mexico, they sure do not hold classes to teach you Spanish. In fact, one of the requirement of citizenship is to have a working knowledge of Spanish! So again why should we?

If they really want to move here to live and work they could at least have enough of an education to learn English before they move here! Maybe if we would take this as a stand, they would not cause such a drain on welfare? Now, on too Senate President Ken Bennett and House Speaker Jim Weiers, grow up! You're not in kindergarten. Janet Napolitano is, in my opinion one of our states greatest governors. She works hard for us and has accomplished many good things. So why don't you start working with her instead of against her?

I'm an optimist, I guess. I still think that it is possible for Republicans and Democrats to work together for the greater good.
