I have been watching what I buy, and if the package is written in English AND Spanish, I DO NOT purchase it. I then send an email to the company regarding the fact that there are millions more English speaking Americans with purchasing power that are angry with this nonsense, then there are Spanish speaking illegals. I am currently in a give & take with Bissell. I've included a copy of the conversation. Notice the "no answer" answers. And more & more I'm noticing that Spanish is taking precedence above English on the packaging. Maybe if all members start attacking this, we will make a loud statement.

It is not so much about using English, the language of this country, but rather the absence of Spanish. I've checked your web page and the Spanish is still there. Enough is enough with pandering to those who refuse to become Americans, don't you think?

We bought the Bissell due to one fact, It had no Spanish on the box. How refreshing! Then I go to this website to congratulate you on not cowtowing to people who refuse to learn the language of our country, and there it is!! Espanol in the tool bar. Well, I was going to recommend Bissell to all of my friends, but now I'm not so sure. You see, there are more English speaking Americans who are offended by this then Spanish speaking consumers. Response by email is sufficient.
