A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
SUPPORTING H.R. 123 AND S. 434,
ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
WHEREAS, this country has a deep and rich background of cultural
differences that are cherished and encouraged among its citizens, but
it is generally recognized that this nation has benefited throughout
its history by using the common language of English; and
WHEREAS, the ability to communicate clearly enhances
relationships and facilitates the exchange of ideas and understanding
and assists people in the full enjoyment of life, and therefore, it
can be understood why Congress proposes to declare that English be the
"language of opportunity" and should be recognized in law as the
official language of the United States; and
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin recognizes the value of declaring
English as the official language of the United States; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Dublin does hereby support H.R. 123 and S. 434, English as the
official "Language of Government," and encourages passage of the
bills.
