1. Now you know why
Bu$hCo wants to destroy public education.

If you keep the sheeple ignorant they won't be able to read those books. Makes it much easier to control the masses.

3. Karl Rove said it best
As people do better, they start voting like Republicans -- unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.

-- Karl Rove, The New Yorker, 02/16/2001

4. OMG - I never read that Rove quote before.
It could be the only honest thing he's ever said!

5. Could used books be collected, and distributed during the campaign?
Just a thought I had. Could also buy remainders of these excellent, well-received books and distribute, if funds were available.
