The form is in English but I'm sure they are printed in other languages also if they are needed. If I were one these people, would I be excused because I don't speak English? Maybe I need to get Rosetta Stone and become fluent in German so I can be excused from this process.
I believe that English should be used not only in official capacities, but for daily private transactions too. But the forefathers purposely left out an official language in the U.S. Constitution. There is no officially recognized language in the U.S.of A..

AAAAAaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIGHT. I gotcha....
I see your point now. Why do they get to stay away from jury duty just becasue they 'Can't' speak English......
Damn. I never thought about that. That's BS.
Again, I say you should HAVE to speak it at some level to gain citizenship. And if you can't, there should be some penalty if you can't live up to your obligations as a citizen. Seems like they are giving them a pass.
Dude. Check the NO box.
