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.
