Ernest Istook Quotes
America has global trade with plenty of nations that provide inexpensive labor, but its better for us when theyre in our own hemisphere, rather than sending that business halfway around the world. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Americas strength is not our diversity; our strength is our ability to unite people of different backgrounds around common principles. A common language is necessary to reach that goal. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Americans should be free to recognize our religious heritage; doing that is not the same as creating a government-sponsored religion. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Education begins at home and I applaud the parents who recognize that they - not someone else - must take responsibility to assure that their children are well educated. - Ernest Istook Quotes
English should be our official language. Reading and speaking English are requirements to become a citizen. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes - and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together, just not in a traditional classroom. - Ernest Istook Quotes
I remind everyone: Whether you school them at home or send them to school, you as a parent have the responsibility to make sure they learn and behave. Teachers and principals may help, but parents are the ones who must accept responsibility. - Ernest Istook Quotes
I think its awful that the state of Oklahoma a couple of years ago passed this law to give the same tuition to illegals as they do to people who are residents of Oklahoma. I think its wrong. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Instead of this confusion, we need the unifying force of an official language, English, which is the language of success in America. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Its good that the first half of the speech emphasized freedom, because George W. Bush has been the global champion for freedom. As he said, if we dont fight tyranny it will not leave us alone in peace. - Ernest Istook Quotes
My father was the son of immigrants, and he grew up bilingual, but English is what my father taught me and what he spoke to me. Americas strength is not our diversity; it is our ability to unite around common principles even when we come from different backgrounds. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Our economic freedom is founded on individual property rights; government should never be permitted to take those away. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Over 30 States, including Oklahoma, are now required by Congress to print bilingual or multilingual ballots in at least some parts of those States. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Printing ballots in multiple languages costs millions of dollars every year. It also discourages immigrants from integrating into American society and gaining the benefits that come from speaking English. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Research and development needs permanent tax credits to build the technology that spurs our growth. But no government programs alone can get Americas students to study more science and math; parents must push and help their children to meet this goal. - Ernest Istook Quotes
The American people do not want people thumbing their nose at the law. It undercuts the very fabric of our society and the system of civil justice and of criminal justice as well. - Ernest Istook Quotes
The birth of democracy in Iraq is one of the great positive changes of our era. - Ernest Istook Quotes
The courts are using the First Amendment to attack religion, when they should be using it to protect religion. - Ernest Istook Quotes
The motives of these parents vary, many parents dont like the curriculum being taught to their kids, or are wary of the threat of peer pressure or the presence of drugs or violence lurking in too many of our schools today. - Ernest Istook Quotes

Those people who want to express their religious beliefs on public property should enjoy the same rights that we provide to those protesting the war in Iraq. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Thousands of present day students, like many of our Founding Fathers, are being taught at home. - Ernest Istook Quotes
To become an American citizen, we require people to read, write and speak in English. That is to help them to assimilate in our melting pot, truly to become Americans. We mock that when the cherished right to vote does not involve English any more. - Ernest Istook Quotes
We cannot sacrifice innocent human life now for vague and exaggerated promises of medical treatments thirty of forty years from now. There are ways to pursue this technology and respect life at the same time. - Ernest Istook Quotes
We need uniform protection of traditional marriage. You cant have different definitions on something as fundamental as marriage. The Marriage Protection Amendment is the only solution to this problem. - Ernest Istook Quotes
Weve outpaced Japan and Europe in creating new jobs, but theres major competition from India and China. Its not enough to make income tax cuts permanent. - Ernest Istook Quotes
While even pornography is protected as free speech, the courts have consciously undermined religious speech and freedom of religion for years. - Ernest Istook Quotes
