Senator Robert Menendez:
“I express my sincere condolences to the families of those innocent people who lost their lives in today’s terrorist attack at the office of the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo. This horrific attack on an independent media outlet is an attack against our values and our freedoms. France and the United States have stood shoulder to shoulder throughout history to defend these shared ideals, and today, we stand again in solidarity with the French people and its government as they seek to bring to justice the perpetrators of this attack.”

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy:
“I condemn today’s horrific terrorist attack in Paris. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the French people. This terrorist attack, like so many before it, is an assault on fundamental democratic principles that are essential to a free society. It is also a reminder that the war on terrorism is not over, that radical Islamic terrorist organizations have not been defeated, and that they continue to pose a threat at home and abroad. Whether it is ISIL in Iraq and Syria, the Taliban, Haqqani network, and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Ansar al Sharia and other terrorists in Libya, Boko Haram in Nigeria, or al Qaeda affiliated groups in Yemen, Somalia, and Mali, free and moderate societies face a growing and determined terrorist enemy. We ignore this gathering danger at our peril. We must recommit to our common efforts against these violent enemies and stand with our friends around the world. For their sake and for our own, we must prevail in this fight against violent extremism.”

Representative Ed Royce:
“I join in strongly condemning today’s disturbing terrorist attack in Paris – one of the great cites of the world. I want to express my condolences to the families of the newspaper staff and police officers who were killed. For years, the U.S. and France have had close cooperation in combating terrorism. In Europe, France is at the front lines of a dangerous and growing jihadist ideology that again demonstrated today that it knows no bounds. Sadly, this is not the first time terrorists have attacked this satirical newspaper for exercising free speech – a pillar of the civilized world. Today’s brutality is another crude reminder of the terrorist threat to all those living in free societies.”

Please accept my and our deepest condolences. No country, no people, no family should have to experience the tragedy that you have gone through. The French people have always stood strong in the face of adversity. Without your help throughout our shared history, I would not have the blessed life I lead here in the United States.
The criminals that have conducted this attack, those that have aided in any way with it, will be found and will be brought to ultimate justice. Until then, you won’t be forced into the shadow of fear, you will not sacrifice the freedoms you have fought hard for repeatedly over the history of your country, you will stand in defiance of these cowardly men, because that is who you are as a nation and what you stand for.
All of us in the United States stand with you, as you have stood with us over our shared history.
Today,
Je Suis Charlie and Je Suis Française

Utiliser sa liberté d’expression, dans le respect de la dignité d’autrui et de la loi républicaine, est un acte de courage et d’héroïsme. Cette attaque insensée n’aura pour seul effet que d’amplifier l’attachement des Français à la liberté d’expression et d’encourager les héros prêts à la défendre. Nos prières sont avec les familles des victimes : leur mort n’est pas en vain.

La mort tragique de journalistes ce matin à Paris nous rappelle avec une violence inouïe que la liberté est très fragile et chère. Nous ne devons pas rester silencieux et nous devons agir contre la tyrannie du terrorisme et du fascisme. Cette tyrannie germe dans l’ignorance, le manque d’éducation et la pauvreté. Unissons nous pour chasser l’intolérance ! Comme le disait Voltaire "écrasons l’infâme !"

Ma tristesse en meme temps que mon indignation sont double en tant que Francais et en tant que journaliste. Dix de nos confreres ont ete sauvagement assassines parce qu’ils defendaient l’une des valeurs les plus sacrees de la democratie: celle de la liberte d’expression. Deux courageux policiers ont subi le meme sort en voulant les proteger. J’adresse a leurs familles et amis, mes condoleances emues. Qu’ils sachent que des millions de personnes a travers le monde partagent leur peine. Je remercie nos amis Americains pour le soutien qu’ils nous apportent dans cette penible epreuve. _ Il ne faut pas que les victimes de cet ignoble acte de barbarie soient mortes en vain. Les auteurs de l’attentat n’ont fait que renforcer la determination de tous ceux qui sont epris de democratie de continuer de defendre le droit de chacun de s’ exprimer librement. Si les responsables de cette atrocite pensaient les baillonner, ils n’auront reussi qu’a rendre leur voix encore plus puissante.

Dear Ambassador Araud,
On behalf of The Turkic American Federation of Southeast (TAFS), I send our deepest regards and condolences to the people of France during this time of grief. Our organization that strives to promote cultural, educational, academic, business and social relations condemns the monstrous acts carried out by the terrorists who attacked the staff of Charlie Hebdo. We at TAFS bring people together by hosting public programs and private events featuring leaders and experts with diverse views on a wide range of global and regional topics through task forces, executive forums, luncheons, conferences, studies and leadership dialogue.
We stand with our French friends in solidarity against the unjust and, as President Hollande states, “cowardly assassination” of innocent people. These attacks, in no way, represent Islam or any other religion and we hope that France and the rest of the world may come together in peace instead of hatred.

On behalf of The Turkic American Federation of Southeast (TAFS), I send our deepest regards and condolences to the people of France during this time of grief. Our organization that strives to promote cultural, educational, academic, business and social relations condemns the monstrous acts carried out by the terrorists who attacked the staff of Charlie Hebdo. We at TAFS bring people together by hosting public programs and private events featuring leaders and experts with diverse views on a wide range of global and regional topics through task forces, executive forums, luncheons, conferences, studies and leadership dialogue.
We stand with our French friends in solidarity against the unjust and, as President Hollande states, “cowardly assassination” of innocent people. These attacks, in no way, represent Islam or any other religion and we hope that France and the rest of the world may come together in peace instead of hatred.
The victims’ families, friends and the people of France are in our thoughts and prayers.
In Peace & Blessings,
C.T. (President, TAFS)
Hello Embassy Staff:
As an American citizen, I would like to send the French Embassy staff and the Country of France my sincere condolences. The terrorist attack today in Paris is another example of innocent people being slaughtered by Islamic extremists. The attack on your people enrages peace-loving people all over the world.

Dear Mr. Ambassador:
As US citizens and members of Alliance Francais of Washington, my daughter Ayse and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to France for its loss and condemn this senseless act of barbarism directed against freedom of speech, the most cherished value of Enlightenment in which France has always had a leading role. We believe the French Republic with the rest of the free world will soon bring these savages to justice. Justice will be served as the unrelenting defense of universal freedoms against fanatical barbarism.
Sincerely,
Dr. S. N.E. and A.E. (Gaithersburg, MD)

Dear Ambassador Araud,
I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to you, President Holland, and all citizens of France. Such a cowardly attack in the name of religion is barbaric and shows the real intentions of those who perpetrate such violence. Their desire is to strike fear and seize control, not in the name of Allah, but in their own perverted and self-serving sense of power. While I mourn the loss of all those killed in this attack and those who were wounded, I would especially like to extend my sympathies to the family of slain gendarme.
Please accept on behalf of my family our condolences and our support for France. Today we all stand together and mourn as brothers.
With deepest respect,
Mr. & Mrs. B. S. E.

Please accept my deepest condolences for the outrageous attacks you suffered today. This despicable event was not merely an attack on a person or a news agency, but an attack on France itself and the French way of life. Because of the strength of your spirit and character, no terrorist attack will prevail against you.
My prayers go with the families of the fallen, the authorities who are searching for the terrorists, and for the nation as a whole during this dark hour.

To the Free People of France and to the families of the victims,
It is with deepest sympathy and profound sadness that I learned today of the heinous and cowardly act of terrorism that took place in Paris earlier today that took the lives of so many. The plaque of fundamentalism continues throughout the world, spreading their message of terror and extremism throughout the free countries of the world. Their goals of hatred and domination would continue, seemingly without check, were it not for the actions of the people of France and other free nations that have stood together to destroy this version of extremism in the world. France has been our oldest ally since the days before we were a country. Our freedom, our liberty would be moot concepts were it not for the brave interdiction France did on our behalf two centuries ago. We, in the United States, have not forgotten the blood you shed on our behalf and now, stand united with you in your stand against terrorism. The individuals responsible for this dastardly attack are without soul or conscience and their continued existence must be met with the overwhelming rage of nations opposed to such tyranny and terror.
It has been more than a dozen years since the twin towers in New York fell to terrorism and no country or people anywhere in the world should have to continue to face such atrocities. France has endured the icy cold wave of fanaticism before. In 1944, when the allies took Berlin, that wave came to a stop and the people of France and the world were once more free from tyranny. I am certain when I state that the free nations and people of the world stand with you this day and will continue to stand until such time that this current tyranny becomes a thing of the past just as that of the last century did.
Please accept our deepest condolences. No family should have to endure this kind of loss. We are all fortunate that we live in countries that value freedom and liberty above all else. We in this country will continue to stand beside our oldest allies. May the families of the victims find peace and comfort during this terrible time and may the people of France rise up like a vengeful wraith and strike a fatal blow to those that would rob her of her liberty. Vive la France!
Sincerely,
R.M. (Indiana, America)

Dear Ambasador:
I wish to send my sincerest condolences to the French people and to the families and friends of the murdered journalists in Paris. Each terrorist attack hurls me back into the Dark Ages and I am in shock. It is horrible and senselessly tragic.
The French people, like us Americans, stand for freedom and civilization. I hope that the French police capture these murderers and bring them to swift justice.
I know that my fellow citizens stand with you and your citizens.
Thank you.

Au revoir donc, Charb, Cabu, Wolinski …

I want to extend my condolences to all the family and friends of the cowardly attack on the Charlie Hebdo organization & to the French people as a whole.
Being born and raised in Holland & now living in the US for the last 30 years, I know there is one thing our 3 nations share. The liberty to share our opinions and express those opinions without fear of reprisal. That is in my opinion our greatest good.
Being that "A picture is worth a 1000 words" I feel that Cartoonists are important in pointing out the "imperfections" of our societies. I want to keep it that way. That I/we are offended sometimes in the process is par for the course. That is part of living in a democratic society. When I was young I travelled extensively throughout France and spent a lot of joyous time there & have come to appreciate France.
I wish you strength in this trying time.
I hope that the US, France & all other nations that value our Democratic Ideals will stand shoulder to shoulder to defend those ideals.
Vive La France Libre,

Dear Mr. Ambassador:
I just wanted to send a quick note of condolence to the French people regarding the terrible attack at Charlie Hebdo in Paris Wednesday. As a former journalist, the idea that people are targeted and killed because of the words they write or the images they create is foreign to me.
I hope those who committed this crime are brought to justice. I also hope that the French people, and the American people as well, can find common understanding to live peaceably with people of all faiths and backgrounds.
I have visited France several times and realized that I ate at Bofinger’s brasserie not far away from where this happened and it made it really hit home for me.

Dear French brothers and sisters in humanity,
It is with deepest regrets that I offer my condolences to the people of France in the face of this horrific shedding of blood. As a Muslim, I fully support the prosecution of the perpetrators of this heinous crime to the fullest extent of the law. I would also like to state that if the criminals who carried out this act claim to have acted in the name of Islam, they most certainly have not! They have betrayed Islam, 1.6 billion Muslims and in fact all of humanity.
Sincerely,

It is with profound sadness and grief for the families of those who were killed in Paris yesterday that I leave this condolence message. As one of this world’s true rays of liberty, life, culture, and civilization, France will hold together and rise above the cruelty and the savageness of these attacks, and it will do so with the support and solidarity of its many friends and allies.
The United States and France are long-time friends and allies. You helped give this country the gift of liberty in the 18th century and you were among the first to stand shoulder to shoulder with us after the terrible attacks of September 11th, 2011. Know that your American allies are with you 100%.
With great admiration and even a bit of pride, I’m watching France hold together in unity at a time of great challenge and grief. I admire France so much for knowing and understanding what it stands for and being willing to defend it. Voici la grandeur de la France!

Dear Ambassador and all representatives of France: I am in great grief over the horrid attack in Paris. I would like to make a small donation in support of free press in France, in support of C. Hebdo. Can you tell me where I can donate? I will also share with friends so the word can be spread.
Thank you,

I want to let the people of France know that America is behind them 100% in the fight against terrorism. We must keep our ideals of freedom of speech and religion in the face of any kind of terror that befalls us because our ancestors in both countries died for these ideals. We keep your country in our thoughts and prayers. We are all French today. Je Suis Charlie.

My ancestors left France many generations ago to move to North America, but even so I still feel kinship with the modern Republic and its people. You are my brothers and sisters. Respond to this barbarous act against our societies’ freedom of expression with love, not hate. Set an example for the world to show how truly great a nation France is. We are united with you every step of the way.
I wish for peace and prosperity for the nation of France.

I write as one who is both American and Canadian, born in New England and resident for many years in Montréal, Québec, and also as an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Française. Qu’est-ce qu’on peut dire des nouvelles si horribles du massacre à Charlie Hebdo à Paris? Je sais que tout le monde civilisé est révolté et horrifié par ce carnage monstrueux. Acceptez mes condoléances profonds en ce moment de tragédie nationale. As has been said by others, I am very aware as an American of both the crucial role of France in the realization of the American revolution and of the profound and abiding alliance between our countries over the centuries. As international family we have, of course, had our individual quarrels but on the fundamental issues of democratic values, the freedom of the press, freedom of religion (and non-religion), the right to peaceably assemble and to petition our governments, we are one. Moreover this crisis speaks to our fundamental, shared humanistic values. Please know that for both Americans and Canadians NOUS SOMMES CHARLIE.

To The French People, and the families and friends, and acquaintance of the victims of this barbaric slaughter:
This is the sad price paid by France, and its citizens, as the leader of the Free World’s human rights’s, free press, and tolerance, in the face of inhuman terrorism. Your proud past, presence, and future strengths transcend the non-human materialism that infects the free world.
As did The Little Prince, there is a price to be paid for that purity, honesty and integrity.
My deepest condolences.

France gave birth to the United States just as much as Britain did. Our democracy is based on French ideas. Our two nations have stood together to face great evil before and triumphed and we will again. We have never left each other’s sides. When you feel pain and loss we feel it here too. Prayers and love to your people from us here in the United States! You are never far from our hearts!

Long live France, long live freedom and long live the freedoms and liberties that France has contributed to the world. If the terrorists thought that they would silence liberty by executing journalists, they don’t know the people of France. France will continue to persevere and create even a better society with more freedoms and not less. Yes to freedom and may God bless the good people of France.

I write to express my support for the families of the assassinated journalists and for all of the citizens of France. I’m so sorry to see that the calamitous effects of terrorism have taken away your good citizens who were engaged in their peaceful, daily pursuits. France and the United States have been allies for many years, and I expect my government—the United States government—to provide its full support for the people of France. Your are our friends.

Deepest and most sincere condolences to the families of those at Charlie Hebdo whose lives have so cruelly been taken, and to the whole brave staff of Charlie Hebdo, and to the French nation. The French have shown great strength and courage to the world in the past in the face of tyranny and barbarism, and will continue to do so, protecting all our liberties. We stand together with you.
Vive la France. Je suis Charlie.

I send my condolences to the families of those who were killed in this senseless and violent act. I am a citizen of the United States but am unashamedly a Francophile. France has always been a place where I and others have experienced “liberté.” My prayers for all affected by these tragic events.
