 Sent to me, passing on, sorry , photo may not copy:

  1907 PHOTO This one needs to circulate
I think this is one email that needs to be forwarded until every American with a computer receives it.

The year is 1907, one hundred years ago.
READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE!


Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Every American citizen needs to read this!

and please note they are AFRICIAN americans, MEXICAN americans, LATINO americans, the other stuff is always first and the AMERICAN is always last. In idaho fire suppression SUPERVISORS are being fired because the dont speak spanish and the law requires that supervisors be able to communicate with the workers.

 As with most "government work" nowdays, things are a bit "bassakwards". Seems logical that the newer employees should be required to be able to communicate with the supervisors..
