Kerry's sister rallies US expats in Europe
2004-09-01
Diana Kerry is attending meetings in Germany and the Netherlands this week to help rally support for her older brother, US presidential candidate John Kerry. She will also officially launch a website in Europe she claims will "revolutionise" the system of registration and absentee ballot requests for US citizens living abroad.
Well, as long as you plan to vote for Kerry
Diana Kerry is chair of the group Americans Overseas for Kerry-Edwards (AOK) and is visiting Munich and Amsterdam as part of the AOK's 100 cities World Tour, a global effort to find US citizens living abroad and register them to vote in the presidential election on 2 November 2004.
They must be really desperate to go to all this work
Expats who support the Democratic Party are invited to a reception in Munich to meet Diana Kerry on 3 September. The following day she will officially launch OverseasVote2004.com in Europe. The deadline for US expats to register to vote is 15 September. The voter registration website was first launched in the US on the eve of the Democratic Party convention in Boston at the end of July.
It's a Democratic party funded website, but you have to dig deep to find that info.

#3  It would be interesting to compare the absentee voter rolls for all the states against each other to see whehter some of these ex-pats are prolific voters.

#2  Diana Kerry has spent most of her live overseas. As a child she attended schools in Berlin and Oslo before going to boarding schools in Switzerland and the US.

Yes, and today Jawwwn's windsurfing off of Nantucket while vacationing at wifey dearest's 9 million dollar house.
Remember working people, they're looking out for YOU!
