Submit form to external action file and redirect page on one submit button

I have an email signup form for an external service (constant contact) on a splash page.

The code is below. I wanted to have the submit button both submit the form and redirect the page from the splash to main page, however I can't get the multiple actions to work.

I am limited in the sense that I have to have constant contact's form action, it pops up in a new window.

Any suggestions?
