Regime Change Handbook
The "Regime Change Handbook "("RCH") is a user-friendly guidebook that answers the questions, supplies the factoids, and provides scores of concrete activities designed to defeat George W. Bush in November 2004. Based on AlterNet's highly trafficked "A 12-Step Program to Regime Change," reprinted in the "Utne Reader," this upbeat book will build confidence and optimism, helping the reader feel part of something larger-an independent movement that will live beyond the election and work to gain Democratic majorities in Congress that will heed the voice of progressives."RCH" is for the millions of Americans desperate to get Bush out of office, but unsure of how to help. Savvy, funny, pragmatic, and inspiring, the book will include contributions from famous authors and celebrities (the list of invited includes Al Franken, Michael Moore, Russell Simmons, Ani DiFranco, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cornel West, Matt Groening, Jay-Z, Rosie O'Donnell, MoveOn.org, Dennis Rivera, Ben Affleck, Howard Dean, and Dennis Kucinich), as well as charts and cartoons, hundreds of resources-websites, books, films-and entry points for the newbie as well as the most sophisticated political activist.
A blueprint for defeating Bush, "RCH" will demonstrate how to get Democratic voters to the polls, particularly in crucial "battleground" states. The reader will learn to debate and convince swing voters, conservative relatives, and frustrated Nader voters on the vast differences between Bush and the Democratic nominee.
Progressives have been put on the defensive by thirty years and billions of dollars on behalf of conservative ideas that have distorted the public discourse. The defeat of Bush in November will startus on the road to regain our cherished history and values, and "The Regime Change Handbook "will be a valuable tool in reaching that goal.
