Republicans Abroad is the International Arm of the GOP and was formed to enlist the personal energy and leadership of Republicans living overseas. In fact, more than six million Americans live abroad - a number larger than the populations of 24 states in the Union. Republicans Abroad helps the Republican Party develop policy and campaign strategy at the highest levels.

At the same time, membership in Republicans Abroad provides a unique opportunity for Americans living overseas to communicate their concerns to Republican leaders in Washington. Republicans Abroad has fought for issues of concern to Americans abroad like repatriation issues, strong support of Section 911 foreign earned income exemption,

anti-terrorism legislation, fair trade policies, and the inclusion of the expatriate population in the United States Census. 
   

Republicans Abroad members are vital to the ability of the Republican Party to represent the concerns of Americans abroad to our nation's leaders while helping the Party to win close elections with the absentee ballots.
