Dear Mr. Niblock ,
As the Chairman of a money-management firm I founded in 1995 I find it troubling that your firm is widening the chasm of communication in our country.
I had occasion recently to shop in two of your stores in TN and GA. At both stores I found your stores signage to communicate to customers in both English and Spanish at the store entrances. In case you haven’t studied foreign affairs, it is evident that a nation’s failure to conduct its educational, commercial and government affairs is a formula for societal disintegration. Immigrants need to embrace English, to become true citizens. We actually do immigrants a disservice by not insisting that they use the language of America.
Until I see a change in your signage I will vote with my dollars and shop elsewhere. Home Depot, Ace Hardware, wherever. This is America. Our common language is English. Our motto is E Pluribus Unum---out of many, one.
With all of our other problems, we don’t need the problems amplified like they have in Quebec. Language divisions create nothing but trouble.
Sincerely,
Dean T. Parisian
