The circle cant't be broken
The people who were in Plozevet last sunday for our great OBAMA PARTY heard a phone conversation about the election with our friends in North Carolina. Here's the mail then sent to us.
Bonsoir J-L and Mary,
That was sooooooooooooooooo much fun today to talk with you and we hope we answered your questions. The connection was not clear, so it was very hard to understand. Perhaps the airways were busy today. But still, what a wonderful thing to have so many friends and other French around celebrating the Obama victory. We are touched and thankful for your leadership in getting the day together. We have told many, many of our friends about your celebration and every person was thrilled to know about it and appreciated the support for Obama. As we have said, practically all of our friends and family supported Obama and they have all heard us talk of the warmth of the French in general and of the warmth of our friends there in particular. Again, thanks for being Jean-Luc and Mary and for your love and support. It means much.
C'était siiiiiiiiiiiii sympa aujourd'hui de parler avec vous, et nous espérons que nous avons répondu à vos questions. La liaison n'était pas nette, aussi c'était très difficile de se comprendre. Peut être les lignes étaient-elles encombrées aujourd'hui. Mais, en tout cas, c'est merveilleux d'avoir tant d'amis et de français autour de vous pour fêter la victoire d'Obama. Nous sommes touchés et reconnaissants pour votre initiative d'organiser cette fête. Nous avons parlé à beaucoup, beaucoup de nos amis de votre fête et chacun en était très ému et touché de votre soutien à Obama. Comme on vous l'a dit, pratiquement tous nos amis et leurs familles soutenaient Obama et ils nous ont tous entendu leur dire combien les francais étaient chaleureux, et nos amis francais en particulier. encore merci pour ce que vous êtes, pour votre amitié et votre soutien. Cela signifie beaucoup.

SUPPORT TO BARACK OBAMA
For the first time in the USA story, a camdidate campain is supported only by the momey of the people. No lobby, no industrial, no financial gift.
As non american, we can't directly help . Hopefully, our friend Panama Red, american songwriter that maybe you already know has decided to give back any cent you will spend to buy one of his cds to Obama's campain. It is the moment to do something. Help to make the American Dream come back.
