Wrap-up of U.S. Presidential Election


Thursday, November 20, 2008


Former candidate for the US Presidency - Andy Sundberg Wrap-up of US Presidential Election, Citizenship Issues and other topics of interest to Americans living abroad.



Andy Sundberg was born in New Jersey, finished grammar school in Japan, and high school in Germany. He is a 1962 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and 1963 Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in England where he earned a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. He served as a naval officer during the Cuban Quarantine and the Vietnam War. Since moving to Geneva in 1968, he has been a consultant helping major corporations, governments and international organizations evaluate investments opportunities and make other important decisions in many countries of the world. He was a founder of the American Children's Citizens Rights League in Geneva in 1977, and American Citizens Abroad in 1978, spearheading a fight for the rights of the American community abroad. He helped set up the local branches of both the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties in Switzerland. In the early 1980s, while still living in Geneva, he served on the staff of the Chief Deputy Majority Whip in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In fact, his involvement with the Democratic Party served as a springboard for Sundberg to run for President of the United States in 1988, in the election that opposed George H.W. Bush against Michael Dukakis. Sundberg didn't make it to the White House, but, he says, "in the worldwide primaries, which at that time existed for the U.S. expat communities, but no longer do today, I won several countries and a few thousand votes."
