Either way, you can still aim to do this on November 5th. I hope this helps you make a smooth transition to a new bank or credit union.  Plan on choosing your new financial institution this week so you can be on schedule.

Senator Barack Obama is already an inspiration to people throughout Europe. Black students at the University where I teach, soccer fans on a message board I visit, strangers on the street wearing Obama buttons and baseball caps - I have never felt an American election impinge on our consciousness in the way that this one has. The whole world is looking to the New World tomorrow, looking for leadership in the current crisis, looking for a moral centre that puts ordinary people and their needs at the heart of the hard decisions that we will face over the coming years. Because the movement that you have created and the leadership that Senator Obama has shown has put the US at the centre of the radical movement again.  We need your community activism, we need your energy. Most of all we need your hope. rss@dailykos.com (curiousinlondon) Election Europe Goodwishes Nov5th _651524 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 01:14:10 +0000 Nov. 5th: Pre-emptive Retort to Republicans https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/31/647460/-Nov-5th-Pre-emptive-Retort-to-Republicans If Barack Obama wins the election, one foregone response from some McCain supporters will be that Obama only won because of a tidal wave of black support.  Their argument will be that elections are supposed to be based on the collective will of the people, but that this year one subset of the population had undue influence and distorted what would have been a collective will with an otherwise distinctly conservative bent.  They will say that this is unjust and undemocratic, and there will be great gnashing of teeth.  No one can doubt that such teeth will be gnashed; the only question is to what extent they will be gnashed by the "mainstream" of Hannity, Limbaugh, Fox, and the like.   rss@dailykos.com (Clerestory) 2008 Election 2008Election blacksupport Fox internals megaphone Nov. 5th Nov5th Obama Polls Republicans _647460 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 01:02:25 +0000
