To the editor and my fellow voters: With all of the pressing issues facing our nation and locally, Congressman Vern Buchanan’s office sends out an e-mail poll asking: “Should Congress pass a law designating English as the official language of the United States?” Congressman Buchanan, please get your staff focused on the real issues facing our great country and your district.
