I am living, for now, in exile from my land of birth.  In a new article at iexpats.com, George Prior explains my situation, “FATCA Critic Fears Arrest by US Authorities“. When George Prior contacted me, I had no idea he would write an article about me nor that he would focus on my fear of returning to the United States.   This article appears on Election Day=Revenge Day.

While campaigning, Obama said to a crowd booing Romney, “Get revenge. Vote.”  Well, US expats who have suffered the indignities of being treated like criminals without probable clause through the requirement of revealing private information, threats of imprisonment and excessive fines, can get revenge.  Some expats who joined the OVDI program have received extortionate penalties designed for homelanders who put money in Swiss bank accounts to hide it from the IRS and avoid paying taxes.  I have Canadian accounts to be sure.  But I live here in Canada and I pay more taxes than the majority of homelanders—Homelanders have never even heard of GST/HST.  I pay my fair share.

I can’t vote as I was forced to give up my US citizenship and my right ever to return and to live again in my country of Birth.  I and many others here have suffered at the hands of President Barack Hussein Obama.  He has allowed the IRS to hound expats, one could even say that he has sicked his dog on expats. Who is to blame:  Republican George ‘Dubya’ Bush for signing 2008 HEROES Act which instituted an exit tax for those who would relinquish their citizenship.  A democratically controlled Congress pass the legislation and Barack Obama voted for it.  The same democrats in Congress passed the 2010 HIRE act, and President Obama signed it; HIRE included the FATCA legislation which tries to force our banks to rat on US expats, even when we are dual citizens of our countries of residence.  Yes, Democrats are to blame.  But then the lamentable Reed Amendment, which bans those who expatriate for tax purposes, was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Democrat President Bill Clinton.  We are hounded by dogs of both breeds.

Thus, I urge people to vote against Obama–while not endorsing Romney.  I can’t vote.  I’ve already lost my citizenship and fear returning to the United States.  This is Obama’s America:  persecuting and torturing United States citizens living abroad.   Yes, I consider forcing an expat to give up the right to return to his or her native land a form of torture:

Exile is torture, and torture is universally condemned around the world.  The Ex-Patriot Act would permanently separate persons from their heritage and their families — children from parents, brothers from sisters, nieces and nephews from beloved aunts and uncles.  It tears people away from communities and friends.  Exile would destroy their lives.  It is psychological warfare, condemning people to years of regret, bitterness, and rage.

The above words, I wrote about the torture of being banned as a result of the Ex-Patriot Act. But my fear of arrest at the border for spurning the FBAR filing requirement also results in exile and torture.

Please, there is a way to avenge me and thousands of other expats in my situation.  Vote for Obama, NOT.

PS: I will likely e-mail this to members of my family.
