Gwyneth Paltrow has urged fellow Americans living abroad to vote for Barack Obama in a new advertisement.
Telegraph UK
The American actress, who lives in London with her husband, Chris Martin, the singer in the rock group Coldplay, leads a video encouraging ex-pats to register to vote from overseas in the presidential election in November.
Speaking alongside several other Americans living abroad, Miss Paltrow says: "Start now - right now. I'll be voting from London, but you can vote from anywhere. If you live abroad, you've got to do it. Every single vote will count."
She asks American ex-pats: "Where on earth will you vote?" The video concludes: "Vote Democrat. Vote Obama. Vote From Abroad."
The video, which will be distributed on the internet, was produced by Democrats Abroad, a division of the party devoted to persuading the millions of Americans living outside the country and eligible to vote to keep participating in domestic politics.
The organisation estimates that while more than six million registered Democrats live abroad, only one million ballots were requested by all US citizens overseas for the 2006 mid-term Congressional elections.........
