As promised, we have put together a Get Out the Vote party to register people for the Global Democratic Primary, which takes place from February 5-12th.
This event is being sponsored by Americans Abroad for Obama but we encourage all Democrats, Independents and waivering Republicans to come along and join us for free pizza and beer at Kro's Nest (inside the north gate of Worker's Stadium) on January 29th between 7 and 10pm.
Please take a look at the attached flyer for more details and feel free to pass out and spread the word freely. We will also have limited-edition Americans in China for Obama tee-shirts for sale.
If you cannot attend or would like to register ahead of the party, please do so now at http://www.democratsabroad.org/user/register. The deadline to register is January 30th.
Also, I have included below some answers to frequently asked questions about the global primary that our fellow Obama supporters in Shanghai have put together.
Please do email me with any other questions you may have. We hope to see you there!
Best, Erin
This year expats will be allocated 22 delegates in a Global Primary (that's almost the same number as Nevada, which just held its caucuses!). Below are some questions you may have, together with answers (see http://www.democratsabroad.org/article/2008/01/11/delegate-selection-plan-summary-pdf-document for more information about Democrats Abroad and the Global Primary)
What is the Democrats Abroad Global Primary? The Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary will take place from February 5-12, 2008 with voting by Internet, mail, fax, and in person at Voting Centers in more than 30 countries around the world. If you're registered to vote back in your home state, can you vote in the Democrats Abroad Global Primary?
This primary takes place alongside state primaries being held throughout the United States. As an American citizen living abroad you have the option of voting in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary or in a state presidential primary. Why not vote back home?
Overseas voters are encouraged to participate in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary because: What is the impact on my state registration? *If you participate in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary, you may not vote for President in your voting-state primary or caucus. (Your "voting state" is the last place you resided before departing the US. If you never resided in the US, most states will accept the last place your parent(s) resided. Contact Democrats Abroad or your local voting registrar for details if required.) How do I register to vote in the general election? You should register to vote in the general elections, you can do that now by completing your online ballot request at www.VoteFromAbroad.org .
January 26 Saturday's Activities1) Hong Kong may have the world's freest economy, but its oppressed citizens cannot spit in restaurants, cut in line or buy a beer for a quarter. That's why a few brave residents of the Fragrant Harbor are venturing to Beijing this weekend, to celebrate the liberties that we in the capital enjoy--and celebrate Sarabeth's birthday. January 24 My ARTCan I please share my latest source of excitement? I was talking yesterday about this piece that I bid on at the Dartmouth Event on Monday. I love it, do you want to take a look? http://www.flickr.com/photos/numbers/378158495/
It’s from a series called “Numbers” by Oak Taylor Smith where he photographs walls around Beijing where the special government office of wall painting has painted over numbers for illegal services. He writes about it and shows the other items in the collection in a full document posted online.

Our very best mobile wishes for the New Year! With the Olympics just a few months away, we expect many changes to happen in 2008.
For this 17th session to be held on January 14 at OrangeLabs' Innovation Gardens, we invited Tomi Ahonen, best-selling author and strategy consultant for digital convergence and advanced mobile telecoms to tell us about how mobile is not just the evil little brother of Internet, but a full-fledged 7th Media. We are flying Tomi from his newfound home in Hong Kong to share his insights in this keynote session.
Tomi is the closest you can get to an encyclopedia of best practices in mobile services and can deliver more strategic insights in an hour than if you spend a month on Baidu Zhidao. Without further ado, let us introduce our first speaker for the New Year: Tomi T.

His client list includes Ericsson, Orange, Motorola, Nokia, DoCoMo, Siemens, TeliaSonera and Vodafone. Mr. Ahonen consults for telecoms, industry analysts, the venture capital community and other parties involved in understanding the profit potential of wireless. A new services evangelist, Tomi has discussed over 1000 existing mobile concepts in his presentations and his books detail over 500 examples.
