How To Overthrow The Government:

"Arianna Huffington has earned a reputation as one of America's best-known and most independent political commentators, but this book (How To Overthrown The Government) will surprise even the most ardent followers of Beltway politics. In its pages she breaks away from the party -line platitudes of critical Republican and hypocritical Democrats alike and shines a harsh light on the real crises of contemporary America. Our democratic system has broken down, she contents. the two political parities have become indistinguishable. Their policies are feeble, their motives self-serving, their campaign tactics ruthless and insulting. And, as they kneel at the altar of profit, our nations'; foundations are crumbling. Decay is everywhere. The physical decay of our cities and schools is matched by the moral decay of a drug industry that is allowed by politicians to push Prozac on children, a media industry that looks only for the next scandal, and a political industry that hypnotizes its candidates with polls, paralyzes them with smear tactics, an d seduces them with carefully camouflaged cash.

How To Overthrow The Government, then is Huffington's call to arms; a challenge to the average American to seize the government back from the special interests that now hold it hostage and restore control to the people themselves. From campaign finance reform to new voters' rights to grassroots Internet activism and civil disobedience campaigns, she calls for fresh and radical solutions to this national crises - and offers a directory of local and national activist groups to contact that can help make it happen." →
