YES TO SR 675! Do you want to be able to vote on English as the constitutional official language of government in Georgia in November? Us too! Please help
We want English as the official language of government in Georgia. That does not mean “English only” Comprende?
“Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
The Georgia state senate may soon take a vote on a resolution ( S.R. 675 ) for a constitutional amendment to strengthen Georgia’s official English law that was passed back in 1996.
If the resolution passes, the people of Georgia will be allowed to vote to answer a YES or NO ballot question when we vote for president in November on if Georgia’s official English law should be strengthened and added to the constitution of the Peach State.
At present, Georgia state agencies and local governments are allowed to issue documents in multiple foreign languages “at the discretion of their governing authorities.” The written drivers license test is given in eleven (11) languages.
The constitutional amendment would require all state documents, such as driver’s licenses, to be issued exclusively in English. Commonsense exceptions would be allowed for public safety threats and teaching English to non-fluent speakers.
*First thing to do is to call the office of lt. Governor Casey Cagle and leave a polite message: “Please tell the Lt. Governor to allow a floor vote on SR 675 this week”
