Democrats Abroad Bordeaux
The new and growing Bordeaux chapter was founded in 2007
to help make sure that the 2008 presidential election
is a landslide victory for the Democratic party. We will
be registering new voters and encouraging previous ones
to vote – as well as get out the vote. Informal
get-togethers will be ongoing at various venues—cafés
and private homes of members. We welcome American citizens
of all ages. If you are old enough to vote in the 2008
elections, you can join us. vents are open to like-minded
French nationals interested in American politics.
