Over the weekend, the Governor of West Virginia signed a bill into law to make English the official language of government.  The bill passed by 95-4 in the WV House and 26-7 in the WV Senate.  Governor Tomblin signed the bill directly, rather than risk a veto-override.

ProEnglish worked continuously with Delegates Woody Ireland and John Overington, and State Senator Dave Sypolt.  Our staff spent countless hours corresponding on the phone and over email with many other members of the West Virginia legislature, educating them about the importance of official English.  

In the end, the hard work paid off.  West Virginia is now the 32nd state to adopt official English.  

Later this year, legislators in Pennsylvania and New York may vote on official English, and Georgia legislators may soon take a vote to have a referendum to strengthen the Peach State's official English law.

ProEnglish needs your help to add more states to the official English win column.  We intend to place ads in these states, and so we are asking you to help make English the official language at the state level.   

ProEnglish is committed to running print, radio, and online ads in the run up to the key votes in PA, NY, and GA.
