TELL THE OBAMA CAMP TO USE THE BOOK BANNING CONTROVERSY AGAINST PALINE/MCCAIN.
We need to end this Palin honeymoon ! She's NUTS. Can ANYONE out there get in touch with the Obama campaign, even if it's a local effort, and tell them to use ALL of Palin's INSANE social positions again them but ESPECIALLY her efforts to ban books at her local library. SHE'S A NUTCASE !!

1. The list of books she had supposedly banned was a fake. We don't know
what books she wanted banned. So how can we turn that into a fully fledged story. It is one of many that make up Palin's history of bullying.

2. You can tell the Obama Camp yourself, although I don't think they are doing much camping.
Call: (866) 675-2008 (Just don't shout.) Your call will be answered in the order it is received.

3. Banned Books Week September 27–October 4, 2008
Banned Books Week
Celebrating the Freedom to Read
September 27–October 4, 2008



Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read is observed during the last week of September each year. Observed since 1982, this annual ALA event reminds Americans not to take this precious democratic freedom for granted. This year, 2008, marks BBW's 27th anniversary (September 27 through October 4).

BBW celebrates the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints to all who wish to read them. After all, intellectual freedom can exist only where these two essential conditions are met.

BBW is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, American Library Association, American Society of Journalists and Authors, Association of American Publishers, National Association of College Stores, and is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.
