Translation help needed!
I am working on the campaign of Bryan Kennedy, who is running against Sensenbrenner. Need I say more?!

I thought it would be fun to translate "Dump Kennedy/Support Sensenbrenner" into as many immigrant languages as possible.

I am saying "support" instead of "vote" for Kennedy because most people who see this will not be in his district.

This is what I have so far- please comment and add!


Spanish: Deshazte de Sensenbrenner / Apoya a Kennedy!

French: renvoyez Sensenbrenner, soutenez Kennedy

German: Sensenbrenner raus, Kennedy los!

Estonian: Maha Sensenbrenneriga / Toetust Kennedyle

Danish: Væk med Sensenbrenner / Støt Kennedy

Dutch: Geen Sensenbrenner / Steun Kennedy

2. "Kennedy los" means "Away with Kennedy"
Someone has misled you.

3. Spanish:
Abajo Sensenbrenner / Arriba Kennedy!

(Down with Sensenbrenner / Up with Kennedy!)

More colloquial and folksy.
