This international petition, provocative, wants by a startling new idea "you would not deserve more to preserve the Statue of Freedom on the American ground, if you vote Bush in 2004" to make speak about the
attacks to civic freedoms in the USA
Sorry for bad english, i'm french
A French version exists on the Web site of the petition and the blog http://www.20six.fr/returnliberty
The USA are in danger... they must seize again themselves. We launch a cry to the American people so that it reacts and does not vote any more for politicians liberticides. It’s our "democratic right of ingérence", which we intend to exert,.
Clearly if the Bush administration is renewed for a legislature, France must require the USA the restitution of the Statue of Liberty.
Our French ancestors had acted in good faith. All seemed to forecast of a respectful democracy of its people and other people. But today this Nation betrayed the ideal of its Founders.
This is why France will have to require that this statue, this symbol, be restored to him as soon as possible.
This statue must find a new establishment! And, for example, France could make gift in Iraq of it, by way of moral repair of the war damagees. We, French, could not prevent this war with the still unsuspected consequences, we could make this gesture as a sign of repentance....
A blog wants to be the mirror of this international petition so that the USA return the Liberty Statue to France. In order to feed the reflexion, we in the next months will publish on
this blog all that we will be able to find on Internet concerning ATTACKS A FREEDOM made by the American Nation which incarnated by his degenerated political community... it does not matter us the sources, discussed or not... we will publish while returning to the source, with the reader to form his opinion about the reliability of this one.
We will publish only French-speaking texts (original or translated in french). We will be interested only in the attacks with freedom made by controlling US against their own people. This people who vote in one year !
This blog is http://www.20six.fr/returnliberty
We hope that this international petition requiring the restitution of the Statue of Freedom if America "votes Bush" benefits the American People which must leave to the reconquest his Nation,
whose ideals are canted today. Well about, we know it, of the Americans protest already vigorously against the drifts of their controlling and we will have the echo of it!
Freedom bless America

Thanks Adam. I understand your concerns.
France helped the US in the first American Revolution.
Maybe you can help us again with the second one.

France is a lovely country. The government is totally screwed up but the food is good and so is the scenery.
We do need advice from the French but it's in the kitchen and not in the White House.
The French should stick to what they're good at.
The last thing we need would be economic advice from France. Consider the failed attempt at a 35 hour work week. Look at the proliferation of labor unions and what a screwed up mess they've made of transportation and other sectors. Look at the taxes and Socialist programs that penalize small business and anyone who is successful. Look at the cost of gasoline which is almost all taxes. France has done a shameful job with its own economy.

HAR!
The DJIA will be headed back up over 10,000 points shortly, the highest it's been since before 9-11. The American economy is rebounding. The world should rejoice! You saviour has returned!
And don't just look at the stock market. All economic indicators are pointing to the fact that the American economy is on the rebound. Just a year ago idiots like aaron (sf-imc), Diogenes, and Sheepdog, among others were predicting the collapse of the American economy. They were claiming that it's just "fiat" currency that the stock market had in fact already crashed and was being temporarily propped up by the Treasury Dept. so all the upper tier corporate criminals could get out before it caved. The rest of us were supposed to be smothered in the aftermath.
Hey guys? What happened? I went out and stocked up on bottled watter, canned goods, ammo, and duct tape, but the apocolypse never came.
Boy was I duped!

Trade deficit fouls economy
http://www.madison.com/captimes/opinion/editorial/60257.php
An editorial
November 1, 2003
It is not our intent to alarm anyone, but we do hope that readers are aware of the latest pronouncement from Warren Buffett, the second-richest man in the world who is frequently referred to as "the most successful investor ever."
The corporate free trade agenda, says Buffett, has created a mess so serious that he is losing confidence in the stability of the U.S. dollar, and the economy it underpins. "I am crying wolf again and this time backing it with Berkshire Hathaway money," Buffett says of the assets of the investment conglomerate he created and controls. "Through the spring of 2002, I had lived nearly 72 years without purchasing a foreign currency. Since then Berkshire has made significant investments in -- and today holds -- several currencies."
Buffett says he is losing faith in the soundness of U.S. currency as an investment vehicle because the United States is running a huge trade deficit -- close to 0 billion, and rising rapidly -- that is causing income to flow out of the country at such a rapid rate that it will soon become unsustainable. In the November edition of Fortune magazine, Buffett warns that the rapidly mounting U.S. trade deficit could lead to a dramatic plunge in the value of the dollar and a host of additional economic consequences that could add up to disaster for American families.
In the post-Cold War era, U.S. leaders embraced the corporate free trade agenda embodied in pacts such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and the granting of permanent most-favored nation trading status to China. These deals and others like them encourage U.S. businesses to engage in a race-to-the-bottom, relocating on a regular basis to countries that permit them to pay the lowest possible wages, to despoil the environment and to dismiss human rights concerns. U.S. businesses have shuttered factories, laid off unionized workers and shifted millions of jobs overseas.
In Wisconsin, more than 50,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since George W. Bush assumed the presidency, as whole sectors of our economy shut down here and move overseas, mostly to China.
Now the abandonment of American communities and families has extended to the service sector. The shifting of manufacturing and service work out of the United States is great for the huge corporations that contribute mightily to the campaigns of politicians who back their free trade agenda. These corporations can lower their costs by moving production to countries where wages are low, and basic safety regulations and environmental protections have been eliminated. But it is terrible for workers here and abroad, who are pitted against each other in a battle to see who will work for the least. And it is horrific for the U.S. economy.
By allowing for policies that have transformed the United States, which used to export far more than it imported, into a nation that imports far more than it exports, President Bush and the bipartisan congressional coalition that backs the corporate free trade agenda are building up a trade deficit that could ultimately take down the U.S. economy. Unwise economic policies, Buffett says, are literally "selling the nation out from under us."
Buffett's warning needs to be taken seriously, not just by citizens who have already witnessed the devastation caused by the corporate free trade agenda, but by elected officials. When U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., and U.S. Reps. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse; Paul Ryan, R-Janesville; Tom Petri, R-Fond du Lac; Mark Green, R-Green Bay; and Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, vote for free trade legislation, they are doing serious damage to Wisconsin and to the
U.S. economy.

The French have a long history here in North America, longer in fact than this country by several decades.
I seriously dout that the above remarkes represent the
true feelings of the majority of our French Allies, but even if it is - keep this in mind; If this statue wich you speak of was a gift to this country or a purchase -
whichever; if we like it, It stays. And no amount of propagandised bullshit will take it or anything else we
charish away. Understand rubberband. Now take a hike kid , You bother me !.
