U.S. Rep. Rick Allen Becomes 20th Cosponsor of H.R. 1772

Another major development for Official English in government operations! U.S. Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA-12) has signed on as the 20th cosponsor of H.R. 1772, a bill that would codify Official English in government operations.

ProEnglish has been diligently working to increase support for H.R. 1772, and our efforts have paid off as momentum has been growing. Rep. Allen joins Rep. Mike Collins and Rep. Clay Fuller as recent cosponsors of this critical piece of legislation. They join Rep. Brian Jack, Rep. Richard McCormick, Rep. Barry Loudermilk as other members from the Georgia delegation who are cosponsors of this bill.

If passed into law, H.R. 1772 would save billions of dollars a year in government-mandated translation and interpretation costs, and foster a new sense of unity and assimilation for new arrivals into our country.

We must strike the iron while it’s hot. Visit our action center, and encourage your member of Congress to support H.R. 1772.
