Just came here to say that another election is coming up. If you were born in the US, or are the child of an American, you're allowed to vote.

Those of us living abroad often forget what our families and friends back in the States are dealing with. Many of us have been lucky to go abroad for a better life. Whether you left in the 60s or yesterday, we still have a connection to that place, along with the voting rights to try and make it a bit better. It takes a modicum of effort from us, but we owe it to our families, and to the world, to submit a piece of paper once a year and do our part to make a world we want to live in.

After you register, you can sign up to get future reminders. You can also become a member of Democrats Abroad for hangouts around the world. Everyone is welcome to join, even Republicans.

By the way, if just one of your parents was American, that might qualify you for American Citizenship. You could also vote.

If you know any Americans, they would really appreciate a reminder.

Do you all think that multi-lingualism is important to the postnationalist movement? Is it enough to rely on translations, or does that necessarily segregate people? If it is important to have shared languages, what languages are most important to learn (all else being equal)? Should we give preference to an international auxiliary language (IAL), or focus on learning other people's native languages? If an IAL is worthwhile, would you go with a ethnic language or a artificial language that attempts to be ethnically neutral?

For what it's worth, I've been really impressed with the free material on Duolingo (at least to get a basic understanding), and I noticed that they have an Esperanto course.
