Vote from Anywhere

As I am currently abroad, and my politics swing far to the left (had you not noticed?) this apparently means that I am getting updates from Democrats Abroad, a non-profit organization trying to get out the important but too ignored expat vote for these elections.

I'm not really a Democrat (if interested email me and ask why...too tedious to indulge myself here) but definitely not a Republican, so I submit to you Democrats Abroad's latest ad.

Remember when Gwyneth Paltrow raised a stink by touting her ex-pat status and criticizing the U.S.? Well all you flag wavers can bash her again as she is reinstating her expat (albeit responsible voter) status with this ad:

The ad's not all that but the message is sound. No matter where you are, vote. No matter if you are like me -- suspicious of voting protocol and fairness -- just VOTE.
