"Pay close attention to that man behind the curtain!"

Never again!

If you are an American currently living outside of the United States, you can vote in the November election. You simply must! (This from an anarchist!)

In order to do this, you'll have to obtain an absentee ballot. Here's how:
1) Go to the Tell an American to Vote web site.

2) Enter any name and e-mail address, choose your real state and any country, then click "Go."

3) Download the Federal Post Card Application [FPCA] (PDF file) under "Step #1."

4) Download the specific instructions for your state (PDF file) under "Step #2."

5) Fill out the FPCA carefully and mail it to your Registrar of Voters. (The address should be in the file containing instructions for your state.)

6) Your ballot should arrive several weeks before Election Day, November 2. If you request a ballot and do not receive it, you can vote using an emergency write-in ballot. Contact your U.S. Consulate if required.

7) Don't forget to vote! Tell others that they can vote, too! Do it today!
Here are the instructions for an alternate site:
1) Go to the OverseasVote.com web site.

2) Choose your state from the dropdown menu.

3) Download the Federal Post Card Application [FPCA] (PDF file) under "Step 2."

4) Download the specific instructions for your state (PDF file) under "Step 3."

5) Fill out the FPCA carefully and mail it to your Registrar of Voters. (The address should be in the file containing instructions for your state.)

6) Your ballot should arrive several weeks before Election Day, November 2. If you request a ballot and do not receive it, you can vote using an emergency write-in ballot. Contact your U.S. Consulate if required.

7) Don't forget to vote! Tell others that they can vote, too! Do it today!
By the way, with Diebold being "committed" to delivering the election to Bush, it'd be a good idea for anybody to vote by absentee ballot, if at all possible. A PDF file of the state-by-state instructions for obtaining an absentee ballot can be downloaded here.

Use it, or lose it.
