Issues for Overseas Americans

There is considerable interest in developing this PAN in order to discuss and make proposals regarding those issues that specifically affect US citizens living abroad. 

These issues often have prominence in the Democrats Abroad Platform recommendations. 

There is a group now initiating work on issues related to Taxation of US citizens abroad.  To link up and work on these issues, please contact the pancoordinator@daukpan.org.uk. 

To discuss these and other issues, go to the Forum.
