Somehow I recall that when suggestions have been made in various echoes that
people outside of the US take actions to change/participate in elective
process, a hue and cry has been raised about "interfering" with the process.

I consider it very unusual that you would promote the foreign influences upon

Do you do the same to influence elections in England, France, Germany or other
nations?
