The Governor duly petitioned the Congress. and we duly ignored it and the wishes of the people of California. California. 1986. 63 percent of the voters approved a constitutional amendment making English the States official language. One of the biggest issues in that election was bilingual ballots. State after State have been passing laws making English their official language. It has been my personal experience that support for the use of English is particularly pronounced among the recent immigrant groups. I do not believe it is the newcomers themselves who expect or want the Government to do this or to coddle them. I really believe that.
