Activism See other Activism Articles Title: Does your taxpayer supported public library own these 3 book titles? Imo the two most important political issues facing Americans are:
a. how far off course our federal politicians are taking our nation from its constitutional foundations
b. how our federal government's knee jerk pro-Israel bias causes our nation considerable ill-will on the world's stage
I think it's incumbent on us, educated politically versed 4um members, to help our fellow Americans to become better informed on the subjects of constitution responsibilities of government and also about the travails of the Palestinians when Israel was founded and the unseemly influence of the Israel Lobby on our nation's foreign policy so these same Americans can have their eyes opened. Knowledge empowers people.
To that end, I'd recommend that all of us check with our local public libraries if the following 3 books are owned and if not you should request that these titles be ordered posthaste. As taxpayers you have the right to insist that the library spends your tax dollars on books that provide diverse points of view.
The titles are:
1."The Revolution: A Manifesto" (Hardcover) By Dr. Ron Paul c. 2008
Currently #10 on Amazon's bestseller list.
Dr. Paul is a respected Congressman and physician and Presidential candidate. If your library owns Obama's book and Hillary's book, then it should also own Dr. Paul's book for "balance."
2. "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" ( Trade Paperback) By Dr. Ilan Pappe c. 2007
The author is a prominent Israeli historian and was a senior lecturer in Political Science at Haifa University and Academic Director of the Research Insitute for Peace at Givat Haviva and Chair of the Emil Touma Institute for Palestinian Studies, Haifa. Dr. Pape is now at Professor at the University of Exeter in the UK. This book received a starred review in Publisher's Weekly and was also favorably reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement.
3. "The Israel Lobby" ( Hardcover) By Dr. John Mearsheimer (U of Chicago) and Dr. Stephen Walt ( Harvard U) c. 2007
It received a starred review in Publisher's Weekly and was widely discussed in mainstream media circles like NPR, NYT, WSJ, etc.

do americans use public libraries anymore? ;)
Our local public library, aside from books, has thousands of free divds and videos to watch. documentaries of all sorts, including one i found about vote rigging produced by G Edward Griffin, (forget the title at the moment). they also have Randy Weavers book on ruby ridge. and a lot of other good stuff. the library is often busy. so that is cool.
