I do believe I feel pretty strongly about this. This song should only be sung in English. Period. I'm not at all saying that immigrants or people from other countries cannot come here and be welcomed and make their lives here. Not saying that at all. The two are completely separate topics to me.
It is the official song of the United States of America. It can be sung by anyone but it should be sung in English. If they are coming to our country to live here, they should learn to sing our National Anthem in our language. Yes it's a country of many people and many ethnicities, a melding pot. It's true and that makes this country great. I don't think that should mean that suddenly we should make it official that our National Anthem be sung in a different language other than our own. It's our country. Lets keep it that way.
This is not meant to sound crass but this is a pretty simple topic. To me anyway. I'm very glad most of our politicans agree.
You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.

Ohmygod ohmygod Dont get me started. It's a huge thing here not sure what's going on in VA but in CA it seems the immigration thing is a huge hot button. I am so sick of the Mexican flags. Yes be proud of where you came from, apparently it was so grand you're willing to live here illiegally, endure so many hard ships, risk your life, etc etc to leave it. RAISE IT.... bologny. This is AMERICA.
And OMG I meant to say MELTING POT not MELDING POT. Typing too fast...
