Musings from the CU Suite

A little weekend reading...

Written by Anthony Demangone

America isn't perfect. But I wouldn't live anyplace else. Our declaration of independence was clear. Americans should be empowered to pursue their dreams...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Success isn't a given. But a chance at success sure should be available to everyone.  

All of you reading this...you help Americans strive for those dreams. You help them save more efficiently, borrow more prudently, and build financial freedom more effectively. 

I tip my hat to you all!
