Today, our foundation releases my investigation/comic book, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps.
We need to put this book up on #1 on Amazon and B&N and the Times list as we did with The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.
If we slam the the NY Times Bestseller list again, they'll have to talk about it; the peacock, the eyeball and at the fox will have to take notice.
Let’s make sure the media can’t ignore our book.
When they see a hit, that allows me and Ted Rall (who wrote the killer comic book inside) and Bobby Kennedy (who wrote the intro and key chapter), to get on the air to blow the whistle.
The book, say 50 reviewers, is funny. But vote theft is no joke, and as Kennedy says, "IT'S A CRIME."
Stealing elections is an ugly business–and for the Kochs, the Ice Man, the Vulture, the Snake and the other billionaires, vote theft is a profit center.
So when I say, This is it!" I mean it. This is OUR moment. If you've ever donated to the
Palast Investigative Fund, shared my work on
Facebook,
tweeted a link - yelled at your friends about voter caging, oil spills, vultures - then you're part of my team - and I thank you.
People are already calling Billionaires & Ballot Bandits the sequel to The Best Democracy Money Can Buy ("Palast's best"- Pacifica) - but I don't want to make it a trilogy.
Let's put the vote-rustling trickster out of business right now. We helped put the voter ID horror show, illegal "felon" and "alien" purges and the whole issue of ballot banditry into the mainstream media conversation. Now, let's get the rest of the story out there of the other 6 ways they steal the vote (purging, prestidigitizing, blocking, caging...well, read it yourself.)
Billionaires & Ballot Bandits is an experiment - I receive no money from it - all my proceeds go to the a 501c3 not-for-profit Palast investigative Fund.
If you already bought it THANK YOU. Really, we can't thank you enough.
But we're going to ask one more thing, spread the word. Get your printer warmed up and
print out this leaflet, it's from Billionaires & Ballot Bandits and it's your front line defense document. Make 20 copies and hand it out at your college, your nursing home or wherever people congregate these days in real life.
If you read my columns, watch my BBC or Democracy Now! reports, you’re just getting the news appetizers. The whole enchilada, the whole book, is tastier than you can imagine.
Go to
Amazon.com and
Barnes & Noble right now, order the book, then
write a review - then get it out to your mailing lists, your Yoga studios, your sleeper cells and on your facebook page.
We don’t have the budget to advertise like the 1% do.
But we have YOU - we the army of non-billionaires - to go to Facebook, Twitter, google+, whatever, to spread the word about
Billionaires & Ballot Bandits - send your friends the excerpts
here,
here and
here .
Thanks for everything - and remember you're the reason why we can do what we do - you're our Peoples' Mic - now move your fingers and spread the word.
Karl Rove, the Kochs and their buck-buddies have a plan to swipe 5.9 million votes. Now you that know it, now you need it. Today makes the difference, so please
order.
And note: Whether you get the book on line, from a bookstore or from
BallotBandits.org, the proceeds support our not-for-profit fund, investigating the billionaires and the ballot bandits that are threatening our democracy.
See you in our funny papers,
Greg Palast
