Greg Palast on tour with schedule

[MelissaB]

The ARMED MADHOUSE TOUR BEGINS NEXT MONDAY, June 5th. I will be traveling to
twenty cities across the US.

For a list of locations, check out the end of this email or go to:
http://www.gregpalast.com/armedmadhouse/tourcities.html

We have a lot to talk about: The fix of the 2004 election; the Bush
Administration's confidential, and surprising, plans for Iraq's oil; the untold
story of the destruction of New Orleans; the dark, misunderstood economics of
the rise of the India-China colossus, Ken Lay's un-indicted co-conspirators; and
many more tales of the current regime you won't get on your nightly news.

YOU CAN SPONSOR THE TOUR. Join Working Assets, Operation Rainbow PUSH, Voter
Action, Pacifica Radio, Democracy Now!, Democracy for America affiliates,
numerous Labor Unions, and twenty other groups in sponsoring these events. Not
much to it: post a banner ad and info about the book on your site, send an
announcement about it to your list and let us know so we can send you posters
and other info.

NEXT WEEK, ANNE COULTER AND I LAUNCH OUR BOOKS on the same day, 6-6-06 - hers to
promote the latest flavor of hate and ignorance; mine, to expose the hard and
hidden facts of class conflict in the global war of the movers and shakers
against the moved and shaken.

Order ARMED MADHOUSE at your local bookstore or get it from Amazon at
http://www.gregpalast.com/armedmadhouse/preorder.html

Get the book RIGHT NOW. Why order now? Answer: The Coulter crew buys and
dumps massive amounts of books, buying her way onto the bestseller list -
thereby allowing her and other hate-salesmen to control the media and the
national discussion.

1. Thanks For This!

I'm going to check this out tomorrow, but Tampa is close and it looks VERY interesting to me.

I just saw him with Amy Goodman last week, the 2nd time he's been on the show in as many weeks. I also recorded his documentary about The Idiot and his COHORTS, but a friend of mine borrowed it and I never got it back.

This guy just keeps on plugging and I have so much respect for him and his work. I can only imagine how much anger he must generate from "the corrupt ones!"

2. The library I work for already has 8 holds on the book. We've ordered

a dozen!

I, of course, am one of those holds.
