Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
Ever since the Declaration of Independence, the United States of America have been a beacon of hope for generations of immigrants, for the oppressed, for those who yearn to be free, for millions in quest of a better life...
Last night, America has turned its back on a regime that has managed to corrupt the very essence of America - the very values that are the foundations of a country that has inspired the world...with its boundless optimism, its energy, its creativity.
The outcome of this election has the potential to fix a lot of the damage that has been done throughout the last eight years, but above all, this historical vote has the potential to be an impetus for the rest of the world - diversity, integration, multilateralism - just to name a few...
Once again, America can be a beacon of hope for a world that has been severely damaged by 9/11 and its aftermath...a world that is struggling to overcome years of adversity and hostility - with a global financial market on the brink of desaster.
Once again, America can be the beacon of hope for this tempest-tossed planet.

Wow Stone!
I had no words and I still can't come up with any. My eyes can tear up quite fine...but I cannot gather my thoughts.
Trés bonne article stone comme toujours j'ai rien à ajouter tout est dit.
Je suis heureuse de vivre un jour aussi memorable.
My faith in America and in our human potential has been renewed!
I took the quote from the "Statue of Liberty" as it perfectly symbolizes the HOPE that America epitomizes for so many people.
Oui, en effet, quelle journée memorable!!!
