England for Obama

(Notice I omitted the word ‘werewolf’).

If you’re one of our American friends, and you live in the Big Smoke, then your country needs you! Yes, it may be 3,500 miles away (that’s about the closest point, isn’t it?), but it does need you.

Or rather: the Obama London meet-up group needs you.

These guys are doing sterling work trying to get out the vote over here in London – calling registered Democrats, canvassing areas where Americans go (clue: the Whole Foods store is one of them) and generally trying to make sure that no American in London goes uncovered. Or at least unregistered to vote.

The group meets every Monday in central London, so you can get down there tonight if you read this in time.  Go to the group’s meet-up page here to find out more – including how to help out, even if you can’t make a Monday meeting.

Oh, and if you’re just a Brit who happens to know any Americans – please tell them that they need to register their vote, like, erm, now. Send ‘em to this link.

(NB. Brits are also welcome to join the meet-up group, but there’s a limit to what we can do. Phone banking goes down better when it’s not done by someone who talks like Hugh Grant, for example.)
