Share your views on the US presidential election
America goes to the polls next Tuesday to elect the leader of the free world. The vote for the President of the United States will be front page news across the globe.
The Express & Star wants to hear from Americans living in our region and from Black Country and Staffordshire people living in the States.
We want to know your take on the incredibly close fought battle between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and to be in touch with you after the results come in to find out what you make of it.
Perhaps you know someone from our region who has moved to America and would like to give us their perspective from the other side of the Atlantic.
The election is currently still too close to call although President Obama has won plaudits for his handling of the relief efforts in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
A poll claims eight out of 10 people think he has done either an "excellent" or "good" job.
The storm meant that Republican challenger Mitt Romney held off from criticising Mr Obama for three days.
But yesterday the campaign was back on as both candidates had to try to set the correct tone so as not to appear to be trying to make political capital out of the disaster.
Mr Obama is currently leading in nine so-called "swing states" which are crucial to the outcome of the election because they are neither typically Republican nor Democrat.
Of the swing states Ohio is traditionally the most important one and no Republican has ever won the White House without securing support there.
Mr Romney did well in the televised debates according to the opinion polls, which gave him a surge after he took the President to task over his four years in office.
Yesterday saw the President at rallies in Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado.
Mr Romney has held some campaign funding back until the final days in order to take out television adverts.
He has concentrated particularly on Ohio claiming that American car makers General Motors and Chrysler are expanding in China while cutting jobs in the Midwestern state.
The Democrats have criticised the adverts as "dishonest", pointing out that Chrysler has created 1,100 jobs in Ohio.
More than 19 million people have already voted by post or in person but their ballots will not be counted until next Tuesday.
