I live in Stockholm, Sweden. Before moving here I was a United States Senate Judiciary Committee Counsel, where I provided legal and legislative advice on a wide range of subjects. I have an insider's understanding of the workings of Capitol Hill and I'm an experienced campaign operative. Today, I work as a government relations consultant and I'm a regular lecturer at the Stockholm University Law Faculty on the subject of the U.S. Legislative Process.

    Peter,
    France is now in the process of electing 11 representatives (députés) of French citizens established abroad. Do you know of any US legislation advocating the creation of similar elected representatives of US citizens abroad? The problems of taxation without representation of US expats are becoming critical and cry out for a solution.

    For more on the French process see http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr and http://www.facebook.com/pages/Richard-Onses-Candidat-L%C3%A9gislatives-2012/258589457520114?sk=info

    I’m not aware of any such legislation, David. It’s certainly on the Americans abroad wish list. American Citizens Abroad has a proposal for representation for Americans abroad on their website: http://www.aca.ch/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=43&Itemid=50

    We need advocates in DC to push it forward.
    Best,
