Someone should tell Barack Hussein Obama, global warming is no longer the world's biggest threat, Donald Trump is. That's what the George Soros-funded activist group "Avaaz" claims as it tries to stampede some 8 million unregistered Americans living abroad to vote as America's "13th largest state". "We are a charity in the United States, we are governed by American law, and we are not allowed to coordinate with any candidate", Meredith Alexander, the Campaigns Director for Avaaz, told Breitbart London.
"But, we are absolutely allowed to advocate for our position," she added. "And our position is that Trump is a global threat". "While claiming influence on an 8 million ex-pat American membership, only a smattering of 20 Avaaz activists rode a double decker bus chanting 'Don't vote Trump!' in downtown London today.
Smugly, Avaaz, one the world's largest and most powerful activist groups linked to globalist billionaire George Soros, already considers the 8 million American ex-pats as certified "global citizens": "For months, the world has sat on the sidelines, horrified by Trump's hate. Now, global citizens have a way to fight back", said Avaaz Deputy Director Emma Ruby-Sachs. (Breitbart London, Sept. 21, 2016)
It's not known how many of the 8 million ex-pats would have heard Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' blasting from the activists' open-top bus, or even if any of them will get out and vote now that Avaaz is making it "dead easy" for them. "The charity's website encourages people to email potential U.S. voters in other countries, giving them a template that reads: "8 million Americans abroad could defeat Trump.. if they vote! I wanted to make sure you saw this new overseas registration tool that makes voting dead-easy. It literally takes a few minutes 😊" "The official campaign makes no mention of other presidential candidates, and is framed as simply anti-Trump. Banners on the bus today insisted the campaign is "not authorised by any candidate or candidate office" and linked to Avaaz.org/VoteAbroad, an unintentionally close sound to 'Voter Fraud'--an issue which campaigners will be keen to avoid discussion of.
"While illegal for registered U.S. charities to work with or for presidential candidates, a spokeswoman for Avaaz denied any connection to the Hillary campaign when quizzed. Campaigners with Avaaz however, were recorded shouting, "Vote for Hillary!" during the demonstration. "A huge 88 per cent of Americans living abroad did not register to vote in the last presidential election, and Avaaz points out that "this massive untapped voting block" is much more likely to be "progressive" because "56 per cent of us [in the UK] have masters degrees" and overwhelmingly donated to Democratic candidates in the last three presidential primaries. "In a press release, Avaaz references a new Oxford University study that found "America's overseas voters.. could decide the US presidency in 2016". When combined, the potential 8 million voters around the world, "would make up the 13th largest state", they say. "Just 12 per cent of Americans abroad were registered to vote in 2012, and "the reason they don't vote is that it's a complicated process for them to register from abroad and many Americans miss the deadline", Alexander told Breitbart London. "Her charity, which has also campaigned for "refugee rights" and against Brexit, claims to have "enlisted over 30 million people around the world to share" a new "super easy" tool enabling left wing American expats to register to vote quickly en mass. "Avaaz launched in 2007 to agitate for various left-wing causes including animal rights and mass migration. They organised the biggest climate change march in the UK's history and the Guardian has described them as "the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network. "They claim to be "independent and accountable" and "wholly member-funded". Yet, they were formed by the merger of several establishment groups including MoveOn.org -- a group that received $1.46 million from George Soros during the 2004 election cycle--and Res Publica, which has received grants totalling $250,000 from the liberal billionaire's Open Society group. "Furthermore, Avaaz co-founder Ricken Patel has worked for--either directly or as a consultant--numerous globalist foundations and corporations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the Gates Foundation.

"According to POLITICO, Mr. Soros has committed around $25 million to assisting Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party causes at this election cycle. "Avaaz also campaigned against the UK leaving the European Union under the banner: "Choose Love, Vote Remain". "Alexander said, "Avaaz is just as strongly in support of trying to stop Brexit as we are of trying to stop Trump" and that it is "part of the same challenge" of suppressing populist, anti-globalist movements. "You have forces of division that are rising in a number of countries, whether it's here with Brexit.. the Austrian presidential election, or the American presidential election. The threats that we are facing right now tend to be threats that need global coordination," she said, mentioning the "refugee crisis" and the "climate crisis". Although Avaaz is not saying so, when it comes to getting unregistered American ex-pats to vote in presidential elections the Democratic Committee Abroad (DPCA), of which Democrats Abroad Canada (DAC), said to represent some one million America ex-pats living in Canada, was first. Back in the 2004 presidential election, DAC swore that Canada would have a huge impact on the race between Republican George Bush and Democrat John Kerry. Voter turnout looked less than brisk when DAC hosted voter registration days in the lobby of Toronto City Hall from February 13 to 16. "The organization's chief goal was "to educate Americans about the U.S. overseas political process and help them register to vote in federal elections." (Canada Free Press, June 4, 2004) The DPCA and DAC rally call back then was 'Get Rid of Bush'.
They took their 'Get Rid of Bush Campaign' to the palace of comedy, holding a Bush Bash fundraiser at Yuk Yuks, downtown Toronto's home of the stand-up comedian. "The comedians working to raise money against George W. Bush had nothing on Howell Raines who wrote in The Guardian: "Kerry's lantern jaw and `Addams Family' face somehow reinforce the message that this guy has passed from ponderous to pompous and is so accustomed to privilege that he doesn't have to worry about looking goofy."
"America's 13th largest state" had no impact on the 2004 election and faces the same fate in 2016.
