I'm not allowed to vote for President!

Hey I just found out that because I am now a Guam resident I'm no longer allowed to vote for President!

How crazy is that???

He can vote because he is an American citizen because his dad was born here. He's not planning on being here much longer but is going to excersise his "right" to vote. I think this is silly.; October 28, 2008 at 3:44 AM

Jeni said...: Amanda- How about I tell him who to vote for then it will work out right! LOL

Mary Anne- When I was in Iceland I was still a legal resident of California. In Guam I had to give that up so I can't vote in a state I'm not a resident of.; October 28, 2008 at 9:18 AM

My friend who was military shared this: http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media/fwab.pdf You may not be able to vote for anything but president, but you CAN vote. Of course, I found this out too late to help, but for future reference...; November 6, 2008 at 2:24 AM

Thanks for thinking of me though!; November 6, 2008 at 7:28 AM
