The Democratic Party recently completed
one of the most exciting primaries in its party history.
Our candidates represented the best our country has to
offer. Once again the Democratic Party reached beyond
political limits, breaking the model of politics as we
have know it until now with a woman and an African-American
in the final runoff.

We can be proud of our presumptive nominee, Barack Obama,
in his historic claim to victory. We can now turn ahead to
one of the most exciting and challenging campaigns we have
ever known. And we can applaud Hillary Clinton for her equally
historic run for the Democratic Party nomination.
We will all stand together and work to take back the White
House and increase our Senate and House majorities. What could
be more hopeful than this prospect for Democrats!
We, of course, now need your help and enthusiasm and dedication
to help us win this election. Most important, Democrats Abroad
wants to have its impact on these elections. And we now have
the possibility to do so.
More Democrats registered for the Global Primary than ever
before. But we are still far from the potential we have to
get out the vote. We would like you all to participate in
a GOTV movement with us: wherever you can, advertise our easy-to-use
registration and ballot request website: www.VoteFromAbroad.org
Democrats Abroad France will be organizing a major campaign
to GOTV. Help us if you can. We can provide you with posters
if you want to put them up where Americans congregate. We
will take out ads in the local press encouraging people to
vote, but you too can post information in your clubs, groups
or schools. VoteFromAbroad.org is a public service provided
by Democrats Abroad for the use of all voters, regardless
of party affiliation.
Contributions are also welcome at https://secure.democratsabroad.org/contribute/.
Let’s all get behind this effort, and bring our country
home again.
—Joe Smallhoover and Connie Borde
