Americans abroad determined to have say on Election Day

[dArKeR]

By Hugh Dellios Tribune foreign correspondent

Four months before the November election, the U.S. Embassy handed out the last of its supply of voter registration applications for Americans abroad. Now it is passing out a second batch.

In San Miguel de Allende, the picturesque town that has one of the largest U.S. expatriate communities in Mexico, U.S. consular officials twice had to order more application forms because the demand has been so high.

As the presidential race between President Bush (news - web sites) and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) intensifies, so has the determination of Americans abroad to have their say in what is expected again to be a razor-close election.

I'm sure Kerry will 95% of the overseas vote. I've been overseas for many years and I've never met an American who supported Bush. I've met all types of overseas Americans from back packers to executives. All have met many people from many differenct countries and can see that all people all people are good and usually the problem has something to do with corporations and governments seeking more power and wealth. Back with Reagan it was one thing but now Americans overseas despise Bush and his butchering. To be honest, I have seen a few pathetic Mormons overseas and I'm sure they'll vote against morality and against their own souls and come to the aid of Satan.
