We already know Obama’s excuse, it’s because his middle name is “Hussein.”

(JPost) — Uncle Sam wants you to vote in the November 6 American election. Or at least a group of well-funded American immigrants to Israel do.

They started the iVoteIsrael Campaign, which its organizers describe as “an issue-based campaign, expressing their desire to see a Congress and administration who will support and stand by Israel in absolute commitment to its safety, security and right to self-defense, without endorsing any specific candidate or party.”

A campaign spokesman said the project is funded by charitable contributions raised in the United States, mainly in small increments from individuals and foundations within the Jewish community and the Christian communities.

The organizers were inspired to take action by the 2000 presidential race, which was decided by 537 absentee ballots cast in Florida, of which only 64 came from Israel even though there are thousands of Floridians in this country.

Bearing in mind how close the current presidential race could be, they hope a record number of the estimated 150,000 eligible voters in Israel register to vote by absentee ballot and get in their votes on time.
