Dear American Voter Project
“Dear American Voter” is inviting you to be a part of a global dialogue featuring responses from around the world to the question, “What should Americans think about as they cast their ballot? ” (Uumm…if you vote for McCain…goodbye USA, hello Russia and China).
You can participate by sending in your videos, photos and text responses or just jumping in on the conversation. For more details, click here.
Interesting link.
American voters are largely apathetic to the rest of the world. It will be interesting to see what impact, if any, this conversation will have.
i guess the time for U.S.A has come up sooner than most empires,well better to vote MCain coz we would not like the fall of U.S.A to be blamed on Obama!
Very, very bad idea. The Guardian newspaper tried this in 2004 at the last election and were inundated with letters and emails from US citizens, very annoyed at being patronised and told what to do by “outsiders.” If anything, it actually increased Bush’s proportion of the vote.
I didn’t think they’d do something like this again. Guess I was wrong.
Gah! Turbopixie beat me to it. Anyway, here’s a link to the Guardian’s‘s Operation Clark County; and check out the American voters’ reactions here.
Thanks for the post! I curious as to why you think if Mc Cain is elected it’s goodbye USA? Surely America’s global standing is not that much on the decline?
Turbopixie, I wonder why you think this is such a bad idea? Sure there are Americans who think that people should stay out of their internal affairs, but only if the US can stay out of theirs. More Americans need to see how their actions affect people all over the world.
Plus I really doubt that increased Bush’s proportion of the vote. =)
We have over 70 videos-local and global about this. See here :

Hope you’ll consider putting across your point of view as well
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
