2nd Presidential Debate at the Roadhouse -- October 8 -- 6 to 8 p.m.

The next Presidential debate is just around the corner -- and DAT will be screening it on Wednesday, October 8, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Roadhouse Barbecue (www.roadhousebarbecue.com, map on the website). We suggest that you get there by 6:00 if you want to have dinner before the debate replay starts.

Word in the US media is the McCain camp is desperate, and will be coming out mean and dirty, trying to trash Barack Obama on a personal and policy level -- and so our candidate needs your support! Come out and cheer on Barack Obama with a group of progressive Americans -- and let everyone know how you feel about this election! And come out to meet old friends and make new ones, and of course, enjoy the delicious cuisine and cold beers always on offer at the Roadhouse -- the DAT's unofficial Bangkok club house! There are more TVs and a great sound system (both which were used to great effect during last Friday's showing of the V-P debate) and plenty of room for all. Another batch of DAT's cool Thai/English Obama t-shirts will be available, along with bumper stickers and other Obama paraphernalia!

Worried about where is that absentee ballot you requested? Or not even sure that you're registered? Changing your address in Thailand and worried your absentee ballot might not catch up with you? Something else? The "vote doctors" from Americans Abroad for Obama and DAT will also be in the house -- and ready to take your questions and find solutions for problems with absentee ballots -- bring your questions, voting materials and anything else -- and they will find an answer for you!

Please RSVP if you're coming to democratsabroadthailand "at" gmail.com!

Come on down and join us on October 8th, for another evening with the best Party in town -- the Democratic Party!

With best wishes, and onwards to victory in November,

Phil Robertson
Chair, Democrats Abroad Thailand
