Loud speaker store announcements should be in English.
Dear Board of Directors of Wal-mart Corp.

We live in a great country called the United States of America and the official language of the United States of America is ENGLISH. The U.S. is is comprised of many ethnic backgrounds and races. I am offended that in my hometown Wal-mart, I am hearing store announcements over the loud speaker in SPANISH. I feel that the English speaking community is being discriminated against. Many Americans have gone through 12 years plus of schooling learning to speak, read, and write the English language. Now we unable to understand simple store announcements? Our country is made up of several ethnic backgrounds, each with their own language, however I am not hearing announcements made in German, Russian, Italian, Polish, Chinese, or Vietnamese. In the United States of America, where the official language is English, why is Wal-mart making announcements in Spanish? If you would like to start making store announcements in a language other than English, then I feel it is necessary to say them in all foreign languages or none at all. We are requesting that from this day forward, you ONLY do store announcements in English.
