Republicans should give up their ugly campaign to declare English our official language.

But Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, keeps pushing it.

Earlier this month, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on HR 97, known as the English Unity Act of 2011, the latest version of an English only bill that King has been trying to pass since 2005. It would place an English language requirement in workplaces and at official government functions.

<p>Many will ask what is the purpose of commemorating the Chicano Moratorium each year in August. The original National Chicano Moratorium march and protest against the Vietnam War was held in East Los Angeles on August 29, 1970. Two previous smaller marches took place in L.A. in order to organize for the larger August 29, 1970, national march. Other build-up marches were also organized in San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno and other cities.</p>
