Congressman Bob Stump, Friend of English First, to Retire
Congressman Bob Stump (R-AZ) unexpectedly announced today that he will not run for reelection to Congress.
Congressman Stump has been a great friend of official English over the years and has introduced the Declaration of Official Language Act (H.R. 3333), legislation to repeal E.O. 13166 (H.R. 969) and, in an earlier Congress, legislation to deny federal funds for Ebonics instruction.
Congressman Stump enlisted in the Navy as a 16-year-old during World War II, and took part in the bloody invasion of Iwo Jima. He has been fighting for his country ever since.
Congressman Stump holds the record for appearences in the English First Member's Report. He will be missed.
