I wasn't sure how I would vote on this measure but the woman whose first language is English and whose children go to ESL classes ( I can't believe this!) helped me to decide.

If families don't speak or try to speak English at home no am't of classes will help.
We criticize American who live in other countries and live in expat compounds, it works both ways!

My grandparents came from Poland, and tried and eventually spoke English as did all the seven kids.

I am sorry even as a "liberal democrat" I will vote for this measure!!!!!!!
