From France : We are with you for the Great Day !

[Rochambeau]

Finaly the time has come. Let me tell you (vanity, I'm not an ambassador but I DO SPEAK THE TRUTH HERE) that France stands besides you for that great day.
You can't imagine that, never ever in history an American election received a such incredible media cover in France. Every day now (and since a few weeks if not months) the American election is the second headline in all channels evening news just after a local subject. Every day, images from both candidates' rallies, their "bon mot", the polls, analysis and predictions etc... Believe me or not there is more media cover for that election and more passion than it was for the european elections a few months ago. And guess who is the favorite here! ;)
For Election night it will be special (night long!) program on the two main channels and on many other smallest channels like news channels.
I will not say that we are praying for JK because , uhmm we are French lol but barely, and some will do certainly. Anyway, we are with you be sure. No pasaran! Go America, Go Kerry, to victory.

Even myself I'm influenced by the way the GOP turned the world into since 4 years, let me tell you how. First I do believe now that it's a fight between Good and Evil and second I've got a damn "freeper gut feeling" that it will be a landslide for Kerry.

Oh you can't imagine how it is to be a spectator only and can't act.

I and all my family are with you in soul and thoughts. Sorry for that "mess of a post" but I write as it comes and it brings tears to my eyes.

[aquart]

1. Pray for us.

God knows what damage will be done if BushCo steals another election.

[nookiemonster]

2. Thank you!

Your people helped bail our ass out over 200 years ago and some of us will never forget it!

The world's contribution means so much now!!

[babylonsister]

Thanks for your heartfelt words!

We all know the world is watching and everyone here at DU knows how important this election is. But we're feeling really optimistic! Keep sending good thoughts for our next president, Mr. John Kerry!

[wtmusic]

3. Merci beaucoup!!

Nous respectons le peuple de la France pour pas être pas intimidé et le maintien de forts. Nous aurons un nouveau président en janvier et le monde sera meilleur pour cela!

[Scotsman_Shrek]

13. Good Luck

The news here in Scotland is saying, although it's still very close, Kerry is gaining ground on the forces of Darkness.
Think positive! We can do this!

The fact that people are posting from as far as Scotland and France, shows just how important it is to the world that John Kerry wins. Everyone here will be praying for victory. Bush is a lunatic!

Good luck, we are with you every step of the way.

[wtmusic]

16. thanks to you too Shrek

I've been working in Las Vegas with a man from the Netherlands and two women from London who have taken a big break from their life to move here and help defeat Bush. The international dedication to this cause is astounding.

[Kanary]

37. Hi, Scotsman_Shrek!

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

Welcome to DU!

:toast:

Your good wishes mean mean so much to us!

It's nervewracking, and so helpful to know you're cheering for us!

70. "Scotsman_Shrek" - I have a lovely bottle of 18 Year Glenlivet...

I'd love share with you after we dispose of this "empty suit"! I will be thinking of your support when I hit the first sip.

:hi:

[in_cog_ni_to]

78. Thank you so much for your support, Scotsman_Shrek!

You have no idea how much it means to us. :hug: Thank You!

[Cha]

109. Thanks Scotsman!

Welcome to DU! My favorite accent is Scottish!

We will have a John Kerry Victory!

[Seabiscuit]

83. Mercy Buttercups! Liberte, egalite, fraternite pour l'eternite!

VIVE LA FRANCE! (Sipping a fine Saint-Emilion Grand Cru with my baguette and camembert). Oh, and when I eat "fries", they are most definitely "French Fries"!

[DiverDave]

112. I saw freedom fries on the menu

and walked out of the greasy spoon.
I was hungry, but that just pissed me off.

[demnan]

Thanks

we need all the friends whom we used to have. I am making Coq au vin
tonight. When I need comfort, I turn to French food.

[HamdenRice]

4. It's good to know ...

that the French and indeed the majority of Europeans support the decent people and the values of decency of the United States.

[Gregorian]

5. Thank you so very much!

I appreciate the concern. Much of this country is in need of an education. This election should not even be so closely contested. But it helps enormously to know that the rest of the world is aligned with the good side.

I am not as optimistic as I would be if Congress were to be a majority of Democrats. I am affraid this will be some years of fruitless efforts. At least the Bush dynasty won't be flexing it's political muscles.

Thank you Rochambeau!

[txindy]

6. Thank you! Hang on because the American people are READY

We're out to show the world tomorrow just how much we disapprove of B*sh's administration. More of us than they know understand that this is Good vs. Evil. Those sentiments don't show up in these inaccurate polls, but we'll let the world know what we think tomorrow. ;)

Thank you for the excellent post and the good wishes! :hug: It really does help to know that the entire world doesn't associate the American people with our soon-to-be-defeated current administration.

[goforit]

7. We need every heart and soul!!!......Hats off to France!!! Thank you for

always standing firm and thank you for all your gracious support!!!!

Vive Humanity!!!

[Dogmudgeon]

8. Merci Beaucoup, M. Rochamebeau!

A lot of us here in The States are also looking forward to the day when our friendship with France can be renewed -- instead of being the topic of juvenile jokes. And that is just one of the many changes we will make once Bush has been "given the boot."

Your post is just fine. It's even better than fine. Posts like yours let us know that all our work will not have been in vain.

Again, thank you!

--bkl

[Missy Vixen]

9. Rochambeau: One more day!

Please tell the French people that we will do our best to get out the vote. I have not forgotten the role the French played in the founding of our country, or the role they have played multiple times in their defense of America.

Also, thank you all for your caring and your concern.

Julie

[anarchy1999]

10. Thanks. Hope you stick around to see us through the next few turbulent

weeks. Prayers are a good thing. Prayers for all, including those in Iraq.

Thank you for caring and expressing it to us all.

[Rochambeau]

31. Of course I think of all the US military today in Iraq

I've said it already but to me they are exactly the same as those brave men who came in Normandy. They are not responsible and they are sure to do the good thing because of all the propaganda they have to swallow. It's very conforting to know that still today there are young americans ready to fight to help other peoples in the name of our values. Today they are misleaded and fooled (and it's the Bush's true crime to use and spoil their lives and high spirit and discredit our values) but their courage is still intact.
To say that they are a great generation too has no sense to me because I think of those who were in Korea and in VietNam too. So, all of them were a great generation? It has no sense but it has sense to say "no, they were americans". You can be proud of your nation and you don't have today the government you deserve. Bush spoils America it's a crime for the whole world.
One more day.

[anarchy1999]

64. I was also suggesting prayers for all of the Iraqis'. The citizens of

Iraq so never deserved any of this. I'm proud of the people of my nation, not of the actions of my nation.

[TahitiNut]

11. Peut-être demain nous pouvons commencer le voyage de retour ...

... à la liberté, à l'égalité, et à la fraternité. Ce sera un long, dur voyage. Souhaitez-nous bien.

[Butterflies]

12. It feels like the whole world will be partying on Nov. 3rd!

I didn't realize our election is being so well-covered in other countries (though it's not really that surprising considering how bush has f*cked up.)

I think that the worldwide excitement about Kerry's win will cause vibes of joy to shoot all around the planet. We'll FEEL it!!

[DemExpat]

15. Almost constant coverage on all Dutch channels the last week or so....

And definitely pro-KERRY....

:kick:

DemEx

[July]

25. Friends in Spain just emailed . . .

they say the whole country is watching our election, and that Spanish radio has reporters in several places here to keep them informed. Sending their wishes that "what happened here will happen there," i.e., the bums will be thrown out.

[OldEurope]

107. Same here in Germany.

Top issue in all media.
:toast:

[Polly Glot]

14. D'accord! Je mange France!!

(Anyone remember THAT dumb Visa commercial from years past?)

[HamdenRice]

17. Excuse my ignorance ..

but did you say, OK I eat France?

[Polly Glot]

30. "Agreed. I eat France."

In the US several years ago there was an ad for Visa that had a young, presumably American, couple motoring through France when their car breaks down. To the best of my recollection of it, a stranger comes up and helps the vacationers get back going. The wife tells the husband to say something nice to the stranger. The doltish husband blurts out, "Je MANGE France!"

I don't know why that has stuck with me all these years but it does still make me chuckle.

On edit: I am in now way trying to sound flippant about the gracious support proffered from our European neighbors. Au contraire, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for our neighbors world-wide to suffer so horrifically under our mad King George but be unable to do virtually anything about it. It is with all my treasured friends overseas in mind that I will exuberantly cast my ballot for Kerry tomorrow!

[Rochambeau]

40. Ok Polly Glot so it will be you !

You'll vote for YOUR country, for YOUR president of course and it's the most important but please let me think anyway that you will vote a bit in my name too. If you don't mind please tell me where will you vote? Just to imagine and tell my friends.

[Polly Glot]

47. Ohio a votre service! I'll be thinking of you at the polls tomorrow!

[Arugula Latte]

18. Merci! We stand together.

Liberte. Egalite. Fraternite. (I hope I spelled those correctly!) ;-)

On this election eve, the thinking people of the United States (and thankfully there seem to be a few left!) symbolically link hands with their allies around the world.

Shoulder to shoulder we stand against Bush and Evil.

[AFSCME girl]

19. Thank you so much, Rochambeau!

I, too, have that "gut feeling" that a Kerry landslide is imminent for tomorrow :bounce: Your graciousness in standing by us during this period in history is very much appreciated :hug: May God bless you and your wonderful country always!! :loveya:

[Window]

20. Thank you for your

uplifting post! It does my heart well.

[geniph]

21. Anyone remember that old 60's chant

"The Whole World is Watching! The Whole World is Watching!"

It's true tomorrow. The whole world is terrified that we'll make the wrong decision and send the world to hell in a handbasket by electing that coked-up, arrogant, pinheaded, silverspoon fratboy.

[Olivier]

22. Another support from France

Here, in France, I, my family and friends all support Kerry, and we wish, from the bottom of our heart, he will win this election.

I'm atheous, so praying would be meaningless for me. But, if I don't believe in God, I believe in mankind, and it's enough to make me feel confident.

It's the final lap, keep strong, and push this B. out! We're all with you!

[July]

24. Thank you, Olivier.

We appreciate your support.

[Ellen Forradalom]

84. Merci Olivier

Nous attendons tous le beau jour que John Kerry devient le President des Etats-Unis.

[Chovexani]

23. Thank you so much!

What an inspiring post! Thanks for the support. :hug:

[Zero Gravitas]

26. Vive La France!

Liberté! Egalité! Fraternité!

[Mandate My Ass]

27. We too know how it feels to be a spectator unable to act

It's the way many of us have felt for the past four years too.

Thank you for your kind words and good wishes. We're truly all in this together. :grouphug:

[Tenenbomb]

28. Thanks

Thanks for all the support. We as a nation have learned a lot from your country. You have been helpful for over 150 years.

[Willy Lee]

29. Thank you France. We still love you!

[latebloomer]

32. The world needs to see

35. To all of you out there watching our election

and hoping for change, say a little prayer for us tonight (whatever your beliefs maybe.) i find it hard to believe that if globally we all want the same thing that that thing won't happen.



thank you for your support!

[Swamp Rat]

36. Merci beaucoup

Geaux Kerry!

[A Brand New World]

38. Thank you France, Spain, the whole world!

If we all stick together, we can surely rid ourselves of this blight. This whole message has brought tears to my eyes just knowing that we are truly one world.

[liberalpragmatist]

39. Merci beaucoup!

Je parle un peu de francais. Pardonnez-moi si mon francais n'est pas tres bon.

Le peuple francais, aiment-ils Kerry ou ne sont-ils que "anti-Bush"?

[Rochambeau]

42. First the French are anti-Bush that's true. It's incredible it was despise

it's almost hatred now. But because of the media cover the French know now what Kerry stands for, specialy about Iraq and his vision of the way the world should try to work (UN, old alliances etc...). Of course the French know less about Kerry than you americans know but they know enough now to feel what is the deal of that election.

I can't wait to see President Kerry in Paris. Just wait John Kerry's first speech in french in Paris and Theresa visiting museums and hospitals to see the French FALL IN LOVE with him the way we fell in love with John and Jackie Kennedy. The French are a bit childish on some points and the fact that both John and Theresa speak french and know France and her culture will do A LOT for them here. But they have to come in Paris for sure. I predict a terrific official state visit if they come. They'll be welcommed as kings.

[Jack from Charlotte]

43. We welcome that day.

Viva la France!

[Ellen Forradalom]

86. Teresz Heinz Kerry will patch up our alliances in no time

She'll charm her way across Europe with her culture and command of European languages.

[BonjourUSA]

111. An excellent question

We don't know Kerry very well, like many American I believe. We only can be "anti-Bush" for avoiding the worst.
And when we listen to Kerry we hear what the next American foreign policy could be. "We lead the world" has never been the best message the USA sent.

[Mad_Dem_X]

41. God bless you & God bless France

Those words mean a lot to us, to our country. It lets us know that we are fighting not only for our own future, but in a sense the future of the world. Merci beaucoup, mon ami. :)

[Ima]

44. Thank you

It is nice to know Kerry has friends in France.

[Hand]

45. VIVE LA FRANCE!!!!!!!!

46. Thank you!

I will think of you and the entire world as I punch my vote for KE tomorrow!! :bounce:

[DemBones DemBones]

48. Rochambeau, I will think of you tomorrow when

I cast my ballot here in the Georgia piedmont (piedmont des montagnes Appalachian.) I'll think of other DUers overseas, like Dem Ex Pat in Holland, and of my family in England, and my friends in Italy. This time, it's not just for us, it's for the world.

Vive la France! Vive le monde!

Edit: Merde! Les typos!

[twenty2strings]

49. is this a good thing to say?

i saw a news story that the bush bloodline was rooted in france. anyone else hear that? link? sorry.

[DemBones DemBones]

51. If Bush* has French ancestry (and I think you're correct that he does),

his base should object to his "French-ness," but they are illogical people.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[twenty2strings]

50. django reinhardt....

i hear that he was in the resistance. now that would make a great movie! the best hot licks in jazz history. uh-oh here comes controversy!?

[RainDog]

62. I'd love to see that movie

but I think he was actually Belgian...or from a gypsy tribe that traveled the Belgian, Alsace, Luxembourg area.

did you see The Triplets of Belleville, with the cartoon version of django?

[Rochambeau]

88. Django was born in Wallonie (francophone Belgium) but he grew up

in Paris. He is historicaly concidered as French. His tribe (the Manouches) is usually concidered as the gypsies of France too even if they are nomads. Anyway, to end any debate ;) he was 100% a Parisian and it means a lot! Many persons are Parisians of heart even if they are from another country and it's neither antithetic nor impossible (T.Jefferson, E.Hemingway, Arthur Miller and many who had to escape MacCarthysm, P.Salinger to mention only a few Americans). Josephine Baker in the 30ies used to sing "J'ai deux amours, mon Pays et Paris." (I have two loves, my Country and Paris). Paris has always love Americans.

[myrna minx]

52. Merci!

We know our friends the world over are watching this election with rapt attention. Thank you for supporting us. We will have this victory for we have worked tirelessly to take our country back form the banana republicans. :hi:

53. Thank you Rochambeau

It really does help to know that others in the world understand that we are not all like *, and that we have your thoughts and support with us in ousting the traitor.

54. Pray that everything goes okay. If the votes are counted, we win.

May we have a fair election.

[Dan-W]

76. So true, deadparrot, spot on! n/t

55. Many thanks and to others around the world who have stood with us...

...through this horrible crisis.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

[EricL]

56. I second that

It's amazing to me how many people have followed this campaign here and how they are concerned about it.

I've been following it mainly trough DU

My thoughts will be with you tomorrow.

Take your country back my friends

Not a mess of a post at all, I'll warrant your english is better than 80% of americans in any other language.

Recently I have gotten in the habit of playing backgammon on the zone, an MSN game site. There are people all over the world there that I play with and for everyone I meet overseas, I make it a point to apologize for our idiot of a presidnet, I truly am embarassed. I have been overwhelmingly been greeted with support for that statement, except for one gentleman from Israel. When he logged off he said he was a Colonel in the Isreali army.

Anyway, merci une autra et VIVE LE FRANCE!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

59. Merci, Rochambeau.......................

Knowing that we still have friends out there gives me hope that this election will end positively for us here in the US, and for the larger world as well.

It is also good to know that the you and your countrymen aren't begrudging the people of the US for some exceptionally shitty press they've gotten here.

Keep up the positive thoughts! We certainly could use them.

[RainDog]

60. Salut! Vive L'Enlightenment!

Salut-

To liberty, equality and humanity!

To hope for a future in which people, not corporations, are the valued partners between nations, and are accorded the respect and dignity that is each person's birth right.

[slaveplanet]

61. Thank you to all our fine French allies

Without you we would not have gained our freedom (or what's now left of it) We will never forget your sons buried on our soil DEFENDING this Country, who so valiantly gave their lives side by side with our great patriots. We will never forget how our great French allies responded to rid the wicked vermin Pommie Tyrant from American soil. We appreciate your support and are forever in your debt.....and will forever answer your calls of distress in times of need, as you answer ours...

[expatriate]

63. Thank you, Rochambeau

I am an American citizen living in Australia. Every day I encounter anger from Australians and visitors from other countries because I am American. Those who know me know that I am against Bush and all he stands for, but those who do not know me are defensive - and I can't blame them. It is hard to see people's eyes fill with anger and hatred when they hear my accent.

So it is heartening and encouraging when I read posts such as yours, and I know that our brothers and sisters in other nations care and that they hope with us that the end of the great evil that has taken the helm of America is upon us. I am thankful to know that there are people in other nations who will be helping us in sorting out the mess and healing the wounds that this endless four years of nightmare have created.

It is almost over now. My birthday is on November 6, and I look forward to celebrating with a toast to President-elect Kerry - at a French restaurant!

[The River]

65. Merci

Good to have the French with us again
as we kick out another "King George".

[chefgirl]

66. Thank you Rochambeau!!

>>I and all my family are with you in soul and thoughts.<<

Thank you from the bottom of my American heart for your uplifting, supportive and understanding post.
I am also writing as it comes, and your post has brought tears to my eyes as well.

We Democrats have understood for some time that our responsibility tomorrow is not only to ourselves and our country, but to the world, which is forced to stand by and hope we do the right thing.

I have always felt fortunate and blessed to have been born into a great nation, and tomorrow we WILL stand up and show the world, once again, that government of the people, by the people and for the people will NOT perish from this earth.

Even if, God forbid, we are not victorious tomorrow, we WILL continue to fight, to speak out, to exercise our inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!

You may be assured that I take you into that voting booth with me tomorrow, Rochambeau, and I will be voting for John Kerry because I STRONGLY feel my obligation to do what I can to make the world a better place for ALL people.

Will you mourn with us? Will you feel our pain?

Hoping that you won't have to feel anything but joy when Kerry is announced the victor.

I hope someday soon to be en France to thank your fellow FREEDOM LOVERS for their patience and understanding of our brush with fascism of the ugliest sort

I hope and pray that tomorrow will be a day of WORLDWIDE celebration: that of the return of the semblance of democracy we had four years ago.....four years that seem an eternite (how do you type an accent egu....grave, for that matter?)

bon chance, et vive la liberTAY!

81. Thank You France

I finished reading Les Miserables about a month ago and I'm so glad I did before this election. The French and Americans have so much in common - if there is one thing worth dying for it's what is going to take place Tomorrow! And I believe that the people will respect what has been given to them by voting against secrecy, oppression and power-politics.

Vive le Republique...

[90-percent]

82. thanks

I just hope tomorrow Americans prove they are worthy and noble enough to accept the friendship of the French and other good people.

If we aren't I hope the whole world severs all ties possible with the USA. Why let us wreck your country?

T'as prévu quoi demain soir? Moi, moulé devant la nuit spéciale élections de France 2.

Hello family far and wide,

I hope that you're all doing well. I may be stuck
across the ocean, but am with you in spirit with the
election coming up tomorrow...

I placed my vote by absentee ballot about a month ago,
along with all the other Americans I know over here.
No one was going to let this one pass by without
getting their vote in. Now I'm just hoping the ballots
haven't been "lost in the mail"!

Aunt M very thoughtfully sent me a link to a
website to make sure that I was on the case with my
absentee ballot, and that gave me the idea of writing
to all of you just to say that I'm thinking of you and
that even though I can't be there in person - which is
very frustrating - I care so much about this election.
It means so much for the future of the country. And
for its position in the world. As I write this email,
there's yet another BBC report about Ohio on in the
background. I've never heard Ohio mentioned so many
times in such a short period of time -- Ohio-based
voters, you've got the power and the world knows it!

So I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow, hoping you
will all make it to the polls to help turn things
around.

GO KERRY!!!!!!!!!

I will be going to an election party with
some friends of ours - American and British - to watch
the CNN coverage live on a big screen with around 500
hundred other people. Should be something to watch!

Happy Election Day!

"My prayers are with you. Get the job done.

"'ask not for whom the bell tolls...'"; this time tomorrow it will be
tolling for us all."

103. tears to my eyes too..thank you so much.

France, Scotland, Belgium, Autralia, England, everyone ....

I can't put the words together right now.

One thing good, this whole nightmare is making alot of people realize just how connected we all are.

Unbelievably sad and scary to know there are people here who don't get it. They would rather sit in their cold little prisons of hate or ignorance or fear, venturing no further than their house and Church where everyone looks and talks the same. I wouldn't want to feel that way, the feeling here on this thread is something I wish they could know.

Just talking too as it comes.

Un autre merci ... uh, did that resemble French at all? :)
