Reaction from the US to the Guardian's Clark County project | US news | The Guardian

And another thing, John Kerry is a worthless lying sack of crap so it doesn't surprise me that a socialist rag like yours would back him.
I hope your cynical ploy blows up in your cowardly faces, you bunch of mealy-mouthed morons! I used to visit the UK every year. I love the history and culture of your country.
Reward Yourself
But after I heard about your campaign to influence our elections, I've decided that neither myself, nor my family will ever visit again. I'm offended by your campaign and because of it, I'm remembering more of the negative aspects I've seen in the UK than the positive ones.
Though I still love the castles! Dear British friends, I think you have an interesting idea to encourage international grassroots efforts, but I sincerely doubt most Springfielders are going to be influenced by letters from a country they probably can't even point to on a map.
Proud to be a “Limey” – most of the time!
I wish you luck with your campaign, but I warn you that you're not likely to accomplish much. You radical leftwingers are worse than the Taliban. I suggest you stand back and take a good hard look at yourselves. I suggest that if a particular reader of the Guardian would like to vote in America - would really like to influence the American election, say - that reader should move to America, become a citizen of the United States.
Everyone is welcome here. Even the readers of the Guardian. But if you don't wish to be an American, to live in Ohio, for instance, and participate in the American political process, that is too bad. Perhaps there is something wrong with you. Perhaps it is your teeth. As an American who is afraid of the terrible ramifications if Bush is elected, I commend your efforts to try to get Britons involved.
Although many Americans would be critical of British people "meddling" with our politics and elections, all the world will share in the disaster if Bush is re-elected. Many of us are very concerned. I teach young adults, most of whom have been very uninvolved in voting and politics. Many of them are going to vote. We need all the help we can get. As a US citizen, I want to advise you that you and anyone that participates in subverting the US presidential election can be criminally charged and perhaps even charged as spies.
Thank God above for you English! Just when I was beginning to despair at the thought of Bush being re-elected, you come along with a strategy to help us! Your invitation to your readership and rationale for offering it are provocative at the least, and laudable at best. Dear wonderful, loving friends from abroad, We Ohioans are an ornery sort and don't take meddling well, even if it comes from people we admire and with their sincere goodwill.
We are a fairly closed community overall. In my town of Springfield, I feel that there are some that consider people from the nearby cities of Columbus or Dayton, as "foreigners"- let alone someone from outside our country. Springfield, Ohio Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Wading River, NY Right on! Washington DC Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions.
Texas, USA Thank you, thank you, thank you!
United States I just read a hilarious proposal to involve your readership in the upcoming US presidential election. United States I enjoy reading your paper and agree with your politics, but this is really too much. United States Your idea is superb and frankly, we need a little help over here right now. Ohio 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.
Set me straight, folks! Harlan, Kentucky We all enjoyed this at work. United States Thank you for taking such an active interest in the elections here in America. Clarke County, Georgia Keep your noses out of our business. Knoxville, Iowa 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. California Mind your own flipping business. United States 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.
United States Thanks for running this initiative.
