To the readers of the Isaac Brock Society blog. I recognize that many of you are no longer U.S. citizens. As a result, the November 6 Presidential Election may have no direct effect on your lives. Nevertheless, as citizens of other countries you have a clear interest in stopping the U.S. plunder of other nations through citizenship-based taxation. Therefore, I suspect that citizens of all free nations have an interest in putting an end to citizenship-based taxation,  FBAR, OVDI and FATCA to harm other sovereign countries. Although, Barack Obama is not the architect of citizenship-based taxation, his administration has used it in new ways to harm other sovereign nations.

Last night the Economist Magazine ran an online debate, on the issue of whether Barack Obama should be re-elected president. The debate allowed live comments. There were a total of 92 “registered” comments. Of the 92, approximately 7 were attempts to comment that never became comments (unless the absence of a comment was intended to be the comment). In any case, of the 85 substantive comments approximately 7 were from U.S. citizens abroad. The agony of U.S. citizens abroad is real. Their pain can be heard. The simple fact is that the Obama administration has made life for U.S. citizens abroad a life of agony. In order to spread the word, I created a number of tweets which link to the cries of anguish. Here they are:

Barack Obama began his road to the presidency by being a community organizer in Chicago. We must end his presidency by being community organizers in the Expat community. The Obama administration has destroyed the health, wealth and life of U.S. citizens abroad.  Michelle Obama credits the Obama presidency with allowing her to feel proud of America.  I credit the Obama presidency with creating conditions that make me ashamed to be a U.S. citizen. Renunciations of U.S. citizenship are soaring under Obama. People are desperate to renounce U.S. citizenship – and renounce  they will!

The only way to end the Obama presidency is for people to vote for Mitt Romney. In October I wrote a post which I titled “An open letter to Mitt Romney“. My letter included the following:

Governor Romney, I am writing to you for two reasons:

First, I believe that you are the most likely candidate to be the Republican nominee for President, and that you will likely be the next President of the United States of America.

Second, I strongly urge you to make FATCA an election issue. President Obama has been bad for America. I agree that “Obama means not working”. But, if FATCA is the legacy of the Obama Presidency, FATCA is the seed that will destroy the United States.

Governor Romney: I don’t want you to ever be in a position where you must “apologize for America!”

I am an expat American Patriot. But, America is no longer the country that you and I grew up in. I am not leaving the United States of America – The United States of America has left me!

I am of the opinion that Mr. Romney would be a good president and would be much better for U.S. citizens abroad. My reasons are captured in this comment to the post:

At the risk of oversimplification, you will find that in life there are three kinds of people:

1. Those who make things happen

2. Those who watch things happen

3. Those who ask – What happened?

Because we live outside the United States, we are able to observe the world and the United States in a much more objective way than those who live inside the United States. The common “Homelanders” and the “Homelander Elite Core” are captive to U.S. National Narcissism. They are in the third category – at the end of the day – as we watch the daily erosion of the United States – they will just ask “What happened?”

There are many U.S. citizens who read and comment on blogs and wish things were different. They are in great pain, but they are really just watching this happen.

It’s time to make things happen! If you don’t take steps to “make things happen” then who will? If you are an American Patriot, then I suggest you have a duty to get involved in the upcoming election. Find a way to help spread the word. Do everything you can to keep Barack Obama from enjoying a second term.

Now, I want to point out that the “Obama Central Command”, has created a sham organization, called “Americans Abroad For Obama” – americansabroadforobama.org.  This is their attempt to manufacture the  “illusion of support” for Barack Obama. This has also meant that Obama has inadvertently opened a dialogue with U.S. citizens abroad – an opportunity that we must take advantage of.

Conclusion: Democracy assumes that citizens (and that’s what we apparently are – or maybe not) assume a level of responsibility.  Assuming a level of responsibility means participation in the upcoming election. There are many U.S. citizens abroad who believe (a belief that I share) that through OVDI, and the FBAR Fundraiser, that the Obama administration has launched a vicious unprovoked attack on U.S. citizens abroad and on other countries. FATCA – the U.S. Berlin Wall – is simply icing on the cake. It is commonly said that U.S. citizens have two choices:

1. Renounce U.S. citizenship (the renunciation of U.S. citizenship might be the most patriotic thing you can do); or

2. Comply

This is true, but there is another possibility. That is to work as hard as possible to get Mitt Romney elected president. We cannot know for sure whether Romney would reverse any of the destructive policies of the Obama administration. But, we do know that nothing could be worse than four more years of Barack Obama. Our ability to survive as U.S. citizens living outside the United States is dependent on getting rid of Barack Obama!

This requires that you become a community organizer. As U.S. citizens abroad it means that we must become a larger community of smaller communities. Once we become that larger community of communities, then we make that telephone call to Mitt Romney. Community organization made Barack Obama president. Community organization is what is required to end it. Are the organizer for your community?

Can we as U.S. citizens living outside the United States make a difference in the November 6 election?

“Yes we can!” – Let’s effect some “change we can believe in!”
