Americans Voting Overseas
My fellow American expats,
As I’m sure you are all aware, we have a very important presidential election coming up this November; one that, among other things, will influence how Americans are received abroad. Therefore, I want you to have your say. I don’t care which way you vote, I just want you to vote!
Please take 10-15 minutes, go to this website, and fill in the necessary info to ensure you will vote in November 2008. Don’t wait until October to do it either! because you need to mail the form back to the US. You will also need:
- your social security number
- the address of the place you lived when last voting in the US,
- your current overseas address, and
- possibly your US driver’s license number.
Here is the website: https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/overseas/home.htm Please sign up to vote!
Undoubtedly there are many more Americans out there who could benefit from this info, so please pass it along.
P.S. if you know an easier way (not that this isn’t easy enough), let me know because anything that helps people vote is great!
You’re so right. There is such a different perspective when you’re overseas, and yet, it’s so easy to be apathetic about voting. The overseas vote and perspective are critical!!!
[...] Last week, I received the following email from Marina at the Overseas Vote Foundation, joining me in encouraging all expats to vote in this upcoming election. Hi Toffler, I saw your link to Overseas Vote Foundation on your blog and wanted to thank you for providing it for your readers! This is an interesting site: What an enterprising person you are! Incidentally OVF has some news for you: FedEx Express will be shipping the ballots back to US in Asia free of cost; for more information about this, see our web site again –www.overseasvotefoundation.org — also notice that we have 4 choices now on our entry page including Youth Vote Overseas. Maybe you or someone you know would like to enter the video contest! Have a nice summer! Marina Mecl Director, Voter Outreach Overseas Vote Foundation [...]
