> I  have several suggestions your winter reading. 
> I  urge you to purchase Jimmy Carter's new book,
> Palestine: Peace Not 
> Apartheid, and give a copy  to your local state or
> national representative or civic 
> leader. As of last week,  his book is #7 on the NY
> Times best seller list for 
> hardcover non-fiction. Help  make it #1!  Carter has
> been making  a large 
> number of appearances and is under attack by the
> right wing supporters  of Israel 
> and from his own Democratic  party.  Read or listen
> to his  interview with Amy 
> Goodman at

> 
> If  you can, please also logon to Amazon.com and add
> your own review of his  
> book.  Amazon.com has become a  battleground of
> opinion about Carter's book 
> and an opportunity to make our  voices heard. 
> Carter himself  mentioned the 
> criticism against him you can find on Amazon.com,
> though many  comments are 
> positive. 
> While Carter does not address all the issues or all 
> matters that supporters 
> of Palestinian rights might desire, his use of the
> word  "Apartheid" and his 
> willingness speak out despite the incredible and
> vile  criticism against him is 
> an important event.  Coupled with the Iraq Study
> Group's  report that says 
> that resolving the Israel/Palestine conflict must be
> an  important part of US 
> policy  in the Middle East, we have an important
> window  of opportunity to get 
> the word out to the American public. 
> Check out his book on Amazon.com:
