| The American Overseas
Network (AON) is a non-profit non-partisan public
interest organization created on-line to provide a forum for
American citizens who reside abroad.
Membership is free of charge and open to any voting age American
citizen resident overseas. Members will be encouraged to take
short periodic on-line surveys regarding the major issues
facing American society. As 2004 is an election year AON
will encourage Americans overseas to register and vote.
Members will have access to on-line information about the
2004 election from sites linked to the Democratic and Republican
parties as well as independent sources. The on-line Federal
PostCard Application for voter registration (OFPCA) can be
downloaded at www.fvap.gov. |
Membership in the
American Overseas Network (AON) is free and open to
any American citizen of voting age resident abroad.
AON will facilitate the networking of members
and enable them to express the concerns and interests of the
American community abroad.
In a later phase AON will have a representational
function for its members and will develop other services that
will be free of charge.
An immediate objective of AON in this 2004
election year is the need to encourage American citizens around
the globe to register and vote. In pursuit of this goal detailed
information on voting and registration procedures will be accessible.
Moreover, surveys of member opinion regarding the key issues
in the campaign as well as the flow of preference towards the
presidential candidates of the two major parties, Republican
and Democratic, will be conducted. In this way the pulse of
American political opinion abroad will be sampled on a regular
basis and released to the media.
Links to available information on-line, provided by the Republican
and Democratic parties as well as other sources, can be accessed
through AON. |
