English only ballot bill

Rep. Walter Jones, whose District borders Will's has co-sponsored legislation that calls for an end to Federal laws that require ballots to be printed in multiple - foreign - languages. Here! Here! it is high time this expensive nonsense ends. The US is an English speaking country and people who are American citizens (and therefore legally elegible to vote) should be voting in English. If they want to vote in other lanuages, there are plenty of other countries that expect people to vote in those languages.

The New Bern Sun Journal has more on Rep. Jones' bill:

U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones co-sponsored a bill introduced on Wednesday to require
all federal elections ballots to be printed in English.
"It is important for people living in the United States to speak and understand English," Jones said. "A common language is what makes a nation one."
"Multi-lingual ballots not only divide American voters by language and cause needless confusion at the polls, they impose an unnecessary financial burden on state and local governments."
The American Elections Act would amend the Help America Vote Act and Voting Rights Act to require English ballots in all U.S. elections except those in which translations of American Indian or Alaskan dialects are needed.

Jones said a poll of Americans in 2006 showed that more than 60 percent of Americans want all U.S. election ballots printed in English only and that Congress should listen.

Breazeale Applauds GOP Senators for Illegal Immigration Bills

White Lake, NC – Congressional candidate Will Breazeale (NC-7) today thanked a group of US Senators, including Sen. Elizabeth Dole (NC-R), for bringing forward a set of bills that would address many of the issues of illegal immigration. “We have to deal with this problem in a straight forward manner. These bills are not the amnesty proposals put forward by Pelosi and Reid, said Breazeale. “If these bills can be passed – either now or after we Republicans take back Congress next November – we will see a marked reduction in the number of illegal aliens and in the damage they do to our economy.”
Several of the bills would: • Block federal funding from cities that bar their police from asking about immigration status.• Give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to use information from the Social Security Administration to locate illegal aliens.• Require construction of 700 miles of fencing along the Southern border.• Impose sanctions on countries that refuse to repatriate their citizens.• Deport any illegal alien just for one drunken-driving conviction.• Enable local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws
“Of particular importance is the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of crimes, particularly DUI”, remarked Breazeale. “We have really started to reduce the DUI deaths in this country and too many now are from illegal aliens with serial DUI records.”

Congressional Candidate to speak to Cumberland County Republican Women’s Club

Fayetteville, NC – Will Breazeale, candidate for the 7th district Congressional district is to be the guest speaker for the Cumberland County Republican Women’s Club meeting Thursday at 11:30am. at the Highland country club in Fayetteville.

The Army Reserve Major and three time Iraq war veteran will address the issues confronting the county, the state and the nation. These include the successful conclusion of the current war in Iraq, the total reform of the federal tax system and solving the thorny issue of illegal immigration. He will also be interested to hear from the club members their views on these and any other issues that can only be resolved by federal action.

The Presidential primaries and caucuses dominating the national news have increased awareness of the elections coming this November and the importance to our nation that we elect the candidates who will best serve our interests in Washington, DC. Candidates like Breazeale are taking their message to the people, in small groups and large, seeking to get their message out, lots of talking and listening. Always seeking to reach that one last voter who will cast the deciding ballot.

Breazeale on Morning Beat

Wilmington, NC – The Wednesday morning edition of The Morning Beat with Curtis Wright, on 93.7/106.3 FM in Wilmington, will feature an 8:00am interview of Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale.

Expected topics are taxes, illegal immigration and of course the Iraq War. Breazeale is a Major in the Army Reserves and a three time veteran of the Gulf Wars.

Will opposes NCCC mandate to accept illegal aliens

Whiteville, NC – Responding to the news that North Carolina’s Community Colleges must now accept illegal alien students, Congressional Candidate Will Breazeale has a somewhat different take than some others quoted in the media. While he agrees with others who have decried the situation and say that if the policy stands they will support legislation to reverse the policy, Breazeale sees it as yet another symptom of the Democrat controlled Congress failing to address the overall problem of illegal immigration.

“If we think of this in terms of my airline, we have planes full of paying passengers – the citizens and legal residents – that are being weighed down by stowaways hiding in the baggage area or impersonating paying passengers – the illegals,” said airline pilot Breazeale, “The planes can still fly for a while but the airline – our society – has to pay more for fuel and maintenance on the overloaded planes and eventually the airline would have to buy more and bigger airplanes in order to keep the paying passengers in the air. Of course the price of those tickets – taxes - will have to rise and the level of service for those paying passengers will decrease as more is demanded by the stowaways.”

The blame for the community college situation lies with current members of Congress who have failed to fully address the illegal immigration problem. The solution will be new members of Congress, like him, who will bring a new determination to solve such problems according to Breazeale, a solution that will include closing the border, increasing security of our social security system, denial of public benefits including attendance of public schools and stopping all federal funds flowing to “sanctuary” cities.

Breazeale is seeking the NC-7th District seat currently held by Democrat Rep. Mike McIntyre. The district covers all or part of ten counties in southeastern North Carolina – from Fayetteville to Wilmington.
