I just wanted you to know that this is a wonderful idea you've initiated; people here love and respect the United Kingdom, especially the prime minister. I hope this campaign will be successful for your newspaper and for us voters. Shame on you for using the people of Ohio like this. The US presidental election isn't just about foreign policy, it's about healthcare, taxes, education, transportation, natural resources and all manner of issues with little to no impact on the people of Britain.
We live in a globalised, interconnected world. If China shuts its borders to US imports, you better believe American companies, shareholders and workers are affected.

Should US citizens therefore have a direct say in Chinese policies? No - Americans should demand that their own elected leaders address the issues with their Chinese counterparts. The British have a similar voice in US policies - through your own elected representatives who have any number of diplomatic, economic and military tools at their disposal. You vote for your leaders and we'll vote for ours. Your problem is with your leaders, not ours. Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions.
If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a wonderful idea! I am a US citizen who is scared to death that Bush and Klan will get back in. We need all the help we can get to ditch this bunch of maniacs. I just read a hilarious proposal to involve your readership in the upcoming US presidential election. At least, I'm hoping that it is genius satire. Nothing will do more to undermine the Democratic cause in Ohio than having patronising Brits wander around Clark County telling people how to vote. Just, for a second, imagine if the Washington Post sent folks from Ohio to do the same in Oxfordshire. I'm saying this as a Democrat, and as someone who has spent the last few years in the UK.
That is, with all due respect. Please, please, be rational, and move slowly away from the self-defeating hubris.
I enjoy reading your paper and agree with your politics, but this is really too much. We cannot afford to have this associated with John Kerry or anyone else. It will be; the press is going in for a kill, days before the election.

My dear, beloved Brits, I understand the Guardian is sponsoring a service where British citizens write to Americans to advise them on how to vote. I was adrift in a sea of confusion and you are my beacon of hope! Feel free to respond to this email with your advice. Please keep in mind that I am something of an anglophile, so this is not confrontational. Please remember, too, that I am merely an American. That means I am not very bright. It means I have no culture or sense of history. It also means that I am barely literate, so please don't use big, fancy words.
Hey England, Scotland and Wales, Mind your own business. We don't need weenie-spined Limeys meddling in our presidental election. If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German. And if America would have had a president, then, of the likes of Kerry, you'd all be goose-stepping around Buckingham Palace. Whether you want to support either party. As an American who is very anti-Bush, I applaud your letter-writing campaign. I have read some of the letters that you published, and while I agree with most of the content, I also believe they will not be persuasive.
This is because they are too aggressive and, as stated on your website, you don't know anything about these voters. If they happen to be leaning toward Bush, these letters will not put them off. Thank you for taking such an active interest in the elections here in America.
Proud to be a “Limey” – most of the time!
I appreciate what the Guardian is doing. Your effort to reach out to "swing states" and make a difference is commendable. I hope that many of your readers will take your challenge to help make a change in Washington by contacting voters. Keep your noses out of our business. As I recall we kicked your asses out of our country back in We do not require input from losers and idiots on who we vote for in our own country. Fuck off and die asshole!!!!! Gentle folks at the Guardian, In your plea to get your non-American readers to write to voters in Clark County, Iowa, you are correct that events in the US have had, and will have, effects on world events.
How to make:
For example, we have pulled your chestnuts out of the fire in two world wars that were occasioned by European diplomacy. Maybe you'd like a vote in which American president will oversee the next rescue. The next time you have elections in Great Britain, I shall endeavour to send names of your citizens to people in France, Iraq, India, the United Arab Emirates, Botswana, Pakistan, China and Argentina so that they may attempt to influence your election.
It's only fair that everybody in the world should have a say in the selection of the prime minister. Dear Guardian folks, While I empathise with your plight, this attempt to influence voters by sending letters from foreigners will have a negative effect on your ultimate goal. You will cause people to empathise with the president, not the other way around. People will read these letters and say, "John Le who? Never heard of him, but who is he to tell me who to vote for? I am a registered voter in Clark County, Ohio, and am very much interested in hearing what our overseas friends have to say about our election.
You are correct in assuming that this election in the US is the most important election in memory. The threat of terrorism is a very real threat, not just in our country, but all over the world. In this day and age there must be worldwide unity against these fanatical groups who just hate. Not just Americans, but all western civilisation. Thanks for running this initiative. It may be the only way I get to have an impact on the American election, despite the fact that I'm a registered American voter. See, I vote in New York, which is solidly Democratic.
Due to the electoral college system, once a majority is secured in any state, subsequent votes don't really matter. So thanks for the opportunity to impact somebody else's vote, where it may really matter. Who in the hell do you think you are???

But many Naval officers and surgeons were convinced that citrus juices provided the answer to scurvy even if they did not know why. On the insistence of senior officers, in lemon juice was issued on board the Suffolk on a week, non-stop voyage to India.
The daily ration of two-thirds of an ounce mixed in grog contained just about the minimum daily intake of 10 mg vitamin C. There was no serious outbreak of scurvy.

This astonishing event resulted in a widespread demand within the Navy for lemon juice, which became mandatory in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the main cause of Lyme disease in parts of North America, whereas its cousins Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii cause most European cases. Untreated, Lyme disease can have severe consequences. Fortunately, in most cases strong antibiotics can cure the problem. You are commenting using your WordPress.
