I just came back in town after a week at the beach, and here I find some outrageous proposal that Mr. Couch wants to impose. Mr. Couch first you need to know a little history............... let me see where I can start. Well for starters did you know that more than 5,000 spanish speaking mexicans fought in the American Civil War......not the mexican war!!! Did you know that the original California Constitution was written in SPANISH and ENGLISH.......you did not know that huh!!!!!!!! Did you know that english is the official language of California, now then Bakersfield is in California right..ok clarified........ case and point your home was most likely built by an illegal, but branded by a english speaking company. Now the root of the problem is this you want the immigrants to learn english and become citizens......Right........so do I!!!!!!!! Mr. Couch I'm a Mexican-American........Republican......27 years old...........odd isn't.........proud of it, but unlike tradtional republicans I do not vote just my party.........I'm what you call a swing voter, boy does everybody hate those swing voters. Well I agree on some issues from both parties and the UFW. Mr. Couch just a suggestion from a voter, positive thinking get's you further than negative thinking, and over enthusiasm gets you well nowhere.............. so instead of making those sort of proposals, try this help out, not give out, those that need to speak english, and to become citizens. I'll gurantee you that it would be more beneficial. Just a tought to leave you with Mr. Couch, from Napolean Hill "Truth will be truth, regardless of a closed mind, ignorance, or the refusal to believe". Changing times................Help out! Not give out!
