Join the Guardian's electoral college!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

For US citizens (ie most of you!)

To the 96% of the world's population who are not US citizens the presidential election can be pretty confusing. What is a chad? Why do the Republicans do so well in the south? And who is Rush Limbaugh? These are the questions that vex us.

That is why Guardian Unlimited is setting up its own electoral college - to go to the source and seek enlightenment from the American people themselves. We are looking for US citizens - at least one from each state - who we can call upon to tell us what is going on in their area.

We want to know what the candidates and their campaigns are up to. What your family, friends and neighbours think about the election. What you think of the key issues, from tax and gun control to the occupation of Iraq. From time to time during the campaign we will email you to ask your views on a range of issues. Your answers will help us compile a snapshot of US opinion on the election, which we will publish on Guardian Unlimited.

2. I like the idea, but I don't want to be asked for my street address, etc.

Is this a commercial promotion?
