There are many of us outside the US who are
subject to the crazed policies of that demented
freak in the oval office who have no vot and no
represenation.

Because of amerika's reach and abuse of it's
power I have for some years been saying that
there should be 'no approbation without
representaion.'

What about it loud-mouthed amerikans; can we
vote in your presidential elections; can we have
senatorial and congressional representation?
