LordRasta Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 I received my U.S. Passport today which makes it official. Many thanks to phoband for answering LOTS of questions and thanks to everyone for the support and kind words. For those confused, I was born in the UK and have been a US citizen since my mother was naturalized in 1980 and did not know it. I will be voting for the first time in my life at the age of 41.

jkerouac Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Awesome news, LR. You do the rest of us US citizens (and I am a naturilized citizen myself) a great honor by joining our ranks. I will have a drink in your honor tonight (OK, perhaps even two or three).
Pugwash Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Congratulations! Now, make sure you vote for the smart guy that ... um, damn, no politics! Just vote, right?
Fidestro Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Remember one thing, Work hard. Millions of people on welfare are depending on your tax dollars.

lanikai Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 All the Best Mr. American LR !! what we al take for granted ....you have jus reinforced the priveleges we all have !!
stilty Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Congrats! I just got my US passport about a month ago. took about 6 months of tracking down the proper documents to prove my claim. I just sent in my absentee ballot this morning. Here is where you need to go to get your ballot. You better hurry. At this point I think you will need to send in a written ballot (in security envelope) with your application. All the details are on the site. http://votefromabroad.org/
Rxus Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 Welcome, that is a nice big step you took there but an important one none the less. Naturalized cuban since 02'
