This just stuck out at me. Unless we made it illegal to campaign in a foreign language, I don't think politicians would stop running dual-language campaigns, and frankly, if they have enough constituents to warrant a duel language campaign, then they need to put in the effort to reach out to them. As someone said earlier, just making English the official language would not force people to learn it.
My thought is that if they are eligible to vote in American elections, they must be citizens. If they are citizens, they should be able to speak english.

Actually, I would be all in favor of a law against dual-language campaigns. I don't think such a law would be quite constitutional unfortunately.
