Where On Earth Will You Vote?

There are over six MILLION Americans living overseas . . . if we were a state, we'd be the 13th largest. However, we get routinely screwed when it comes to voting because the system is not set up to accommodate overseas voters - I'll never forget getting my Colorado absentee ballott for the 2004 election . . . on Christmas!

Democrats abroad is trying to make it easier for overseas voters to vote and for their votes to count - through this organization, I was actually able to vote in the Democratic primary in Jakarta at the Kristal Hotel, just a few blocks from my house. Check out the movie below and the website votefromabroad.org.

Sorry, there's no equivalent for democrats!
