Help an Expat get involved!

[ExpatinArgentina]

Hey all,
I'm a U.S. citizen living and working in Argentina, but still maintain a U.S. address. I have been donating to the campaign, digging, comenting, etc, but want to do more.
There are many Americans down here working for the Embassy, U.S. multinationals, studying abroad, etc. I thought it would be good to get people together, but need ideas on how to do this. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers from Argentina!!!
Tom

Have you been to meetup.com?

I've been to Meetup.com, but there are only a couple of people down here involved in that, so I don't know if spending the money to use it makes sense.

I do have a myspace page, but most of my myspace friends are Argentine. I am trying to get them on board as well, but that's a tougher sell, seeing how apathetic this culture is.

More suggestions?

Are you prepared to vote?

I vote absentee ballet and have already submitted that. Unfortunetly, I'm down as a democrat. I don't know if I can change that or how to do it from here. Any ideas?

At the least, find out by contacting your state department, e.g. google "voter registration (your state)"

Tell your friends, in the US and abroad.

Search for the state of the US address you have, and look if it has an open primary or closed. If closed, then google your state and voting.

Thanks for the video Me3. Very insperational indeed. I did some canvasing for Obama on my last visit to the U.S. and now plan to do the same in January, but this time for RP.

And thanks to the rest for the voter information. I have sent an email requesting the needed information to change party affiliation. Looks like I still have a open window there.

Now, do you think getting RP into the local Argentine media makes any sense? Obviously forming a group of expats able to vote makes sense, but what about including those not able too? Would they be a positive force to the campaign?
