U.S. Citizens! Register & Vote!

Deadline by early October

The AGBC has a Voting Assistance Officer with a VAGuide, listing every voting register in each county in each state. Either go to the website "www.fvag.org" or else contact Dennis Phillips at "communications@agbc.de" for further details.

Most states require potential voters to register via a Federal Post Card Application no later than one month prior to the Nov. 4, 2008, election. Every U.S. citizen who will be 18 yrs. old by Election Day has a right to register. Some also view this as our responsibility, since every vote counts! Register now, and if you are not sure, then re-register to let your voting registrar know you are alive and well and living in Germany!

Dear AGBC Members, Friends and Guests,

In 2008, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US on Sunday, March 9th, and in Europe on Sunday, March 30th. During those three weeks, time zone differences between most of the US and Europe are one hour less than usual.
