Bachmann gets award for promoting English as official language
Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann has received an award from U.S. English Inc., which describes itself as "the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States."
Bachmann received an "A for English Award" based on the U.S. English scorecard. That record includes co-sponsoring the English Language Unity Act, which promotes English as the official language.
It appears that the bill had at least 134 co-sponsors this year.
