Next week we will draw three winners who will receive all 11 books. They might not all suit your political bent, but perhaps reading them might change your mind or broaden your perspective.
At the very least, you’ll have something to throw at the TV as this endless campaign draws to a close!
If you’d like to win (U.S. addresses only), please leave a comment here saying which of these books you’d dig into first.
The winners of last week’s contests:
Hannah’s Dream: #32 Karen B., #133 Erma Hurtt, #82 Kimberly V.
Wow, Wow, Wubbzy prize pack: #98 Jill, #18 DJ, #21 Courtney
I would Also read the preacher and the presidents first!
Oh wow! I’d love to read ‘The Revolution’ by Ron Paul … I can’t find it at our local libraries.
I would read The Revolution, by Ron Paul first. Though I can’t say that I would have voted for Paul if I were a republican (personally I am a progressive), he always makes an interesting argument regardless of the topic. I am especially fond of Ron Paul’s take on foreign Policy, and in this time of economic crisis it would be interesting to better understand a libertarians take on the whole mess.
I’d start off with “Goodnight Bush” because that’s one of the things that’s making me most happy about this election season. This is an excellent giveaway; I’d love the chance to make my way through all these books.
Ron Paul’s Book and What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t simultaneously. it is bvery close to election time. not that either one would change my vote…. but might give me some good questions to focus on!
great giveaway! I really would read all of them.
What a perfect contest for election time! All great reads-but, would love to have The American Journey of Barack Obama By The Editors of Life Magazine since I believe he will be our next president!
The Revolution by Ron Paul.
preacher and the presidents seems interesting
I would read “What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t” first and then start reading the rest of the books.
Goodnight Bush for me.
I’d read the Michael Moore book first. I don’t agree with him on most issues, but his film “Sicko” was brilliant, so I’d like to see what else he has to say.

What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t, although I consider myself fairly politically saavy, I would like to read this to see what I don’t know…which I am certain is a great deal. 🙂
Thank you.
I would read Michael Moore’s book first because he is so controversial.

I would probably read “What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t” by Jessamyn Conrad first. This is the first presidential election that I’m old enough to vote in and I want to know as much as possible about politics.

Mike’s Election Guide by Michael Moore!!
The Revolution by Ron Paul …and then I would give it to some of my friends so they wake up before its too late.
