OFFER: Free George Lakoff DVD and/or book!
Hi all,
So I'm trying to declutter and I have a few extra copies of George Lakoff's DVD "How Democrats and Progressives Can Win" and book "Don't Think of An Elephant." I would rather have these out there where some good Dem activist or candidate can be reading, enjoying, and putting them to work, rather than doing nothing in my closet.

SO. Anyone who wants one, PM me your address and I will mail you either the DVD or book, for as long as supplies last!

Info on the DVD is here:
http://www.amazon.com/How-Democrats-Progressives-Can-Win/dp/B0002YXYY8

Info on the book is here:
http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Think-Elephant-Debate-Progressives/dp/1931498717/ref=pd_bxgy_d_img_b/002-1592481-0156807

If you want more than one for a club or something and possibly would be willing to help out on the postage, I'd be happy to do that too! :)

Oh, and if you're a fan of Lakoff, please give it a kickety kickety please! :)

3. Isn't he married to someone who is also a linguist?
I think I took a linguistics course from her and scored my only A+. I don't want anything to happen to anyone in that whole family. :hi:

6. I just tried to verify and can't. Hmm, maybe I'm wrong but here is
Robin's page. You have to see what she did with "women's" speech if you are into language:

8. He's amazing. I've watched several of his seminars on CSPAN
and wished like hell I could have been in the room with him. :)
