ALERT: Do you speak another language like a native? Please
help JPFO

To JPFO Members and Supporters:

If you are perfectly bilingual, or speak one of these languages
like a native,

or if you know another person who is,

please let us know:

Portuguese Mandarin Chinese Vietnamese Arabic
French Cantonese Hmong Hebrew
Italian Japanese Cambodian Russian
Korean Laotian

JPFO would like to publish the Bill of Rights in each of these
languages -- and if you could help with this project, you would
be advancing the cause of liberty among immigrants to North
America as well as to other people around the world.

It is vitally important to have the Bill of Rights translated
as accurately as possible. The translation must carry the
meanings that English-speaking Americans already know.

OR: if you have a copy of a published book or article that
contains the Bill of Rights translated accurately into a
foreign language, please let us know.

Contact JPFO via e-mail or by telephone (262) 673-9745 or by
fax (262) 673-9746.

Thank you!

The Liberty Crew
 
I find it funny that they can't translate it in hebrew. I am jewish and can read hebrew, but can't really speak it well. I spent 2 years in Israel, but forgot it all. I am still laughing though, where are all the jewish members??

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

--Ayn Rand, in "The Nature of Government"
 
In their defense, this WAS sent out to members, right? They're asking a member to translate.

It would take time to do it right, and hopefully there's someone in the list who (for any language) can get all the nuances just right, and has enough free time for same.

Battler.
 
How about someone wanders over the Foreign Language department of a major university?

Seems that they could find these in a second using the appropriate data bases.

Sorry to suggest an easy solution. The translations probably existed for 100 years or more.
 
When immigrants apply for US citizenship, they're required to study US laws and its history, I believe. Are these materials printed in languages other than American, and do they include the DoI and the Constitution in them? If so, your problems are solved.

You might want to contact INS about the literature.
