A new recording being dubbed the new Star Spangled Banner - the Spanish version called Nuestro Himno - I feel has gone too far. I agree with President Bush when he said, "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English." I agree 100 percent and that I believe should be required for all immigrants. I also believe respect for our culture and our traditions are also needed requirements for citizenship to this great nation of ours.
