Democrats Abroad made this small corner of the world a warmer place!
It wasn’t just the music from the rollicking folk-rock band that lifted the spirits of
people who had trickled in. It wasn’t just the chance to chat over beer and tapas with
others from the U.S.A.
It was the chance to give a boost to a vision they shared: that America is still the
home of democracy -- where elections matter.
I was one of the volunteers who came together that night at the Democrats Abroad
event for Super Tuesday’s primary election. We made sure that, even when overseas,
Democrats have their chance to choose a nominee for U.S. President.
Maybe some of us weren’t sure why we came. Many of us had never met each other
before. But once we were there, I heard other volunteers say, over and over, the ca-
maraderie they found forged a bond that inspired them. It kindled a flicker of hope
that their work could make a difference when the big November election comes.
Let’s hold onto that hope. And let’s continue to work together to make that differ-
ence.

"The Global BIG BLUE WAVE Force: Democrats Abroad Leading the Way"
GENERAL PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES IN MADRID!
Welcome Members of Democrats Abroad Madrid!
SuperTuesday was a solid success! Our volunteers worked very diligently in order to en-
sure that the event went as “easy as pie”. However, it took a lot of efforts from so many
hands!
I have to apologize for publishing our special GPP edition late. My health was frail and
convalescing took more than I expected. I am back and running again!

PHONE BANKING:
Treasurer’s Update
Dear Members,
Hosting a house party is simple. All you need is a space, some snacks and drinks,
and a group of friends or neighbors who are American citizens (only American citi-
zens can donate to DA). We have a house party toolkit that will guide you through
the process of planning, inviting, and collecting donations for your event. You can
also attend a house party near you by checking our social media for upcoming
events.
Kerry Holleran
Treasurer, Democrats Abroad Madrid-
Have you received a call from one of our friendly phone bankers recent-
ly? They have been busy reminding our members that now is the time to re-
quest your absentee ballot.
Democrats Abroad supports the most advanced online overseas ballot re-
quest/voter registration website available to non-US based citizens. The
www.votefromabroad.org website contains the all the voting information for
the state where you vote. It also includes ballot request deadlines and the
methods for returning your ballot.
Completing the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) couldn’t be easier and
it assists in finding your local election official. It takes less than 5 minutes.
Most states now allow you to use the signature capture feature using the Jim Mercerau-GOTV-Spain-
camera on your phone. Once the digital signature is placed on the line and Chair
you’ve checked the info on your form, you simply hit send and it is automati-
cally emailed to the election official in your local town or county. Those 4-5
states still requiring the original to be returned by mail come with instruc-
tions. In all cases you get a copy of your FPCA in your email if you’ve pro-
vided an email address. You should get a confirmation email from your local
election official. If not give them a call. The info is with the email sent to you
from VFA.
Please do our GOTV team a big favor. When you fill in the party box as a
Democrat, and you answer the question in the survey, would you like to join
DA ?, please check the box ‘Already a Member’. We’ll know that you are
ready to vote and won’t need to call to remind you.
