Emailing the Guardian is fun, but why not also play their game in reverse - snag as many Clark County addresses as you can from their website. Then contact the individuals whose addresses you've gotten. Tell them how you got them. Who the Guardian is (Leftist). That they want John Kerry to win. They think that they world should have a say if not a vote in the US election. This are just snippets which ned to be fleshed out but I believe you get the point. Foreigners are invading your privacy and trying to affect the results of a US election. I've already snagged 90 addresses - I hope each address is only given out once.

I'm all for this Gaurdian thing. What could a Guardian reader possibly write that would help Kerry?

Yep, I got my Clark voter, and I'm going to ask the voter to vote for President Bush.

I wonder how the Doppleganger will be celebrating?

I encourage you to peruse the thoughts of the 3 charmers on this page.

Richard Dawkins has got to be the most repellent of the three. Forget his incoherent ramblings on genetic predisposition, which simultaneously derides religion and fills the gaps of his silly theories with guesswork that is, basically, to be taken on faith. Instead, take a look at what must be the finest line of the piece:

"9/11 gave America a free gift of goodwill, and it poured in from all around the world."

That's right, Dick. Your goodwill was a gift from the heavens, provided by the events of 9/11, which were surprisingly inconsequential in scope.

That this man has any sort of celebrity, respect, or even regard is astounding.

Dick Dawkins is the worst kind of human. Self righteous, self absorbed, sanctimonious, hypocritical blowhard.

OT: Ace, please tell us that Allah is planning the mother of all OCTOBER SURPRISES and will return. He's even closed comments on his site again.

Allah is a most distant and melancholy deity; feared for his Photoshopping judgements and loved for his wisdom. Tell him he's missed.

"No, we aren't American citizens, and we won't need to live under the domestic policies of the dope we ferverently support, but since it affects us SO much, we feel like we need to launch emotionally charged personal appeals to hapless 'marginal' American voters"

You know, Germany and Japan were greatly affected by American foreign policy during the 40s, but we didn't give them a vote. Frankly, I am not sure that the British want to get into the whole sovereignity issue with us again.

So, I sent a email to all the addys listed at The Guardian by Tim Blair. I also added a ten-meg animated jpeg of the American Flag to each email. Does that make me even more juvie and immature?

An interesting premise the Guardian has. US policy, economic and foreign, has a tremendous impact on the UK.

So they are urging writers to try and affect voters here. One lady in the Ohio county got a letter from Lady Antonia Frasier. Pity she didn't write me so I could reply saying her politics were a joke but her books were OK.

This is really not news. Mexico urges it's many millions of dual citizenship/dual loyalty Mexican Americans to be active in both Mexican and American politics pushing NAFTA, amnesty, and open borders for unrestricted immigration.

Israel has done this effectively for years by using Jewish Americans with strong ties to Israel to lobby and give large amounts of money to American politicians in both Parties. They also have a major effort to write and influence the Religious Right to support Zionist Settlement activities and keep the foreign aid to Israel going. It's worked spectacularly for the Israelis - they get the ability to have a big say in shaping US ME policy via their paid politicians, created the Christian Zionist movement, and get 5 billion a year in aid for only about 120 million in Jewish-American political largess.

China is using wealthy investor greed (those Americans controlling import companies or distribution channels)to deindustrialize the USA, then pumping their 150 billion in trade profits into buying North American mineral resource companies, timber lands, companies managing the Panama Canal, and US debt instruments.

The UK's Guardian effort is touching. It can't affect US economic and foreign policy like the Mexican, Israeli, and Chinese efforts do....but it's a start for the Brits having a say here.

Ace,

I sent the following e-mail to all writers/editors at the Guardian. Thought you might enjoy seeing it.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your efforts to turn out the vote in the State of Ohio! Your attempt to involve your paper and your readership in our election has gone a long way towards inspiring the Republican base and ensuring that President Bush will receive another 4 year term in which he and Prime Minister Blair can continue their work to protect the citizens of our respective countries from the existential threat that is embodied in wahhabist Islam.

Speaking as a strong Bush supporter, your efforts are much appreciated. Unlike many Europeans, most Americans are not content to allow foreign opinion to unduly sway our national interests. But then, one only needs to look at the events of 1776-1789 to have learned this lesson. Perhaps, as British interests continue to be eclipsed by those of Brussels, you will realize the wisdom in our historic approach.

I would write more, but you have inspired me to cut a check to the Ohio GOP and to volunteer for the Bush campaign's final 72 hour "get out the vote" program, and time is short. After all, I have people to register and donations to solicit! I will give you proper credit, however, by ensuring that all future GOP contributors and volunteers list "The Guardian" on their check memo lines or on their sign-up forms.

Thanks for the help! Also, please express my thanks to Prime Minister Blair and to the brave men and women of the British military for their support in the ongoing military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I regret that, as an American, I am unable to vote for Mr. Blair in the upcoming British elections, but I have confidence that the British people are capable of drawing their own conclusions as to whether he deserves re-election. After all, would it not be presumptuous to assume otherwise?

Best wishes,
