Roy Blunt for Majority Leader

Congressman Roy Blunt has earned the support of English First advocates in his race for Majority Leader.

President Bill Clinton's Executive Order 13166 made any person's language choice a protected civil right. Congressman Blunt is a cosponsor of legislation to repeal E.O.13166. His opponent, Congressman John Boehner, has not.

Blunt was also a cosponsor of E.O. 13166 repeal bills in both the 108th and 107th Congresses, while Congressman Boehner was not.

Congressman Blunt has also taken the lead on fighting against consent decrees, the main tool of bilingual education preservationists.
