Barack…ok, since we’re on a first name basis, BARRY is making his rounds in Europe and will be in Paris this afternoon to meet Nicolas Sarkozy. Everyone I know in France wants him to win this November. Yesterday in Berlin, he was greeted by over 200,000 people. I just find this overwhelming support amazing and very cool. Not ONE European I know supports McCain. Anyway, if you want to try to catch a glimpse of Obama, he’ll be à l’Elysée around 5-ish. Please tell him “Hi!” from me.

Actually, his visit reminds me that I’m glad I’ve filed my “Absentee Voting” application, and my ballot should arrive well before the elections. If you haven’t already done so, I’d like to encourage all U.S. citizens overseas to act now so that your vote is counted in the November 2008 presidential elections.

You can download the application here: FCPA Application (pdf)

Fill it out, then mail (or email) it to the local election officials in the last state where you lived and where you were registered.
