Dear Friends, I hope you've had a chance to view the HOT web video based on our new book. It was directed by Matt Thompson, a brilliant web journalist and activist from Canada. If you haven't watch this little 4 minute gem, click here now! www.TheBestWarEver.com When it debuted last week it instantly became one of the hottest and most viewed web videos. Tens of thousands of people have already viewed it. Our book The Best War Ever went on sale 48 hours ago and has received many mentions by bloggers and by peace and progressive groups. This has it selling very well already. I want to thank everyone who has contributed donations that allowed us to write this book, create this video and fund our education campaign in the days, weeks and months ahead. In the next two weeks I'll be speaking publicly and for free in bookstores, talking with the media and being interviewed on talk shows in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Capitola, Petaluma, San Francisco and Berkeley. Below are the times and dates of my book store talks. Please send me the names of any reporters and radio and TV show hosts who you know of in these cities who we should contact about The Best War Ever. We'll make sure they've been sent the book and offered an interview, and if we haven't already reached them we will in the days ahead. As you can imagine, my travel and interview schedule is a bit crazy, but if you want to try to catch a coffee please take a look at this schedule and let me know what might work for you, when and where. I'd love to talk personally with everyone on this email list. Finally, I am proud and happy to report that we have so far raised $65,000 toward our ambitious goal of $100,000 for this educational campaign. We hope some more donations will arrive, but this is a very substantial budget that has enabled us to produce our video and will allow Sheldon and me to spend most of our time in the months ahead speaking, writing and addressing the most serious crisis facing our nation. Thanks to all of you, and I hope to see you on the road! best, John ------------------ TUES, 9/19 7:30 PM PST ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY 101 S Main St SEATTLE, WA 98104 WED, 9/20 7:30 PM PST POWELL'S CITY OF BOOKS Hawthorne Location: 3723 South East Hawthorne Blvd PORTLAND, OR 97214 THUR, 9/21 7:00 PM PST BORDERS BOOKS AND MUSIC #056 1360 Westwood Blvd. LOS ANGELES, CA 90024 MON, 9/25 7:30 PM PST CAPITOLA BOOK CAFE 1475 41st Ave. CAPITOLA, CA 95010 TUES, 9/26 7:00 PM PST COPPERFIELD'S BOOKS & MUSIC 140 Kentucky Street, PETALUMA, CA 94952 WED, 9/27 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM PST Lunchtime Event /Signing STACEY'S BOOKSTORE 581 Market St SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94105 WED, 9/27 7:00 PM PST CODY'S 1730 Fourth Street BERKELEY, CA THUR, 9/28 7:00 PM PST BOOKSMITH 1644 Haight Street SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94117 ------------------------------------------------------ View our video, get our NEW book at: www.TheBestWarEver.com John Stauber, Executive Director, Center for Media and Democracy 520 University Avenue #227, Madison, WI 53703 Phone (608)260-9713 Fax-260-9714 http://www.prwatch.org Books by John Stauber: The Best War Ever http://www.thebestwarever.com Banana Republicans http://www.bananarepublicans.org Weapons of Mass Deception http://www.prwatch.org/books/wmd.html Trust Us, We're Experts http://www.prwatch.org/books/experts.html Mad Cow USA http://www.prwatch.org/books/madcow.html Toxic Sludge Is Good For You http://www.prwatch.org/books/tsigfy.html *Subscribe to our free weekly list serve: http://www.prwatch.org/cmd/subscribe_sotd.html *Collaborate with our public interest investigations at http:// www.sourcewatch.org *Support our non-profit work: https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?id=1118 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
