Campaign for Liberty - Book Bombs Away (http://www.campaignforliberty.com/store/bookbomb.php)


July 24, 2010


Campaign for Liberty's first book, American Empire: Before the Fall, is an intense and riveting examination of America's foreign policy and the essential issues that will determine the future of a nation.

Bruce Fein -- constitutional lawyer, scholar, and former Reagan administration official -- shows how nation-building, policing the world, and casting off the Constitution's restraints solidifies tyranny at home, devastates the economy, and increases the threats to our national security.

In this struggle for liberty, reining in our foreign policy is key to returning to a constitutional government at home. American Empire: Before the Fall's vital and powerfully articulated arguments will arm C4L members with the knowledge needed to successfully promote and defend a constitutional, noninterventionist foreign policy.

But we need your help to promote this important new work.

Please fill out the short form below and pledge to purchase American Empire at Amazon.com on August 2nd. Help us push the book into Amazon's Top One Hundred and demonstrate the strength of support for a constitutional, common sense foreign policy!

So I started reading this book (pg 30 or so) and damn if it just seems to be running in the red the whole time. It doesn't slow down, just a high-octane fueled read so far. It seems to be one of those books I'll have to read a few times to get the majority of what it said.

Bump.

The book bomb is tomorrow. If you think there's a good chance you'll end up buying the book some time anyway, why not just make a point to do it tomorrow?

You'll help shoot it up on the Amazon best seller list. Hopefully that will garner some press. It will play into the chatter about the growing rift in the GOP about the wars. It will cost you a lot less than the typical political donation on a money bomb. And you'll get a book out of it that's probably worth more than $10.80 you'll spend on it.

Spread the word about it.

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Commissioned by Campaign for Liberty and written by former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein, American Empire: Before the Fall chronicles how far our foreign policy has come from the Founders' intentions, details the threat to America's security and prosperity posed by mortgaging our future to support the rest of the world, and lays out a plan to strengthen our nation by restoring a foreign policy that adheres to the Constitution.

Thanks to your incredible participation in our Book Bomb today, C4L's American Empire: Before the Fall now occupies position #46 in Amazon's Top One Hundred, and we've reached #5 on their "Movers & Shakers" list!!

Now that we've surpassed our goal of making the Top One Hundred and climbed into the Top Fifty, let's see how far this can go!

If you haven't yet purchased a copy, please click here to do so (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1452829535?ie=UTF8&tag=campaforliber-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=1452829535). Or, pick up another for family and friends!

It would be a terrific demonstration of the support for our noninterventionist, constitutional, common sense foreign policy for this book to keep skyrocketing on Amazon!

Right now it says it's 46 in All Books and 37 in Literature & Fiction.

http://www.amazon.com/American-Empire-Before-Fall-Bruce/dp/1452829535/

That's right. The category they have it in is Literature & Fiction. That doesn't make any sense. If it were categorized under Politics in Nonfiction, then even now, when it's well past its peak, it would still be the #2 book in Politics and the #9 book in all Nonfiction.

We should email Amazon to get them to fix the category so that it shows how well it's really doing compared with other political books. Also, if you haven't bought it yet, don't think that it's too late just because the book bomb was yesterday. Your purchase now will still help it stay up there in the Amazon rankings.

So I got the book today. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the poorest packaging job for a book that I have ever received. That is saying a lot because I'm including used books from Ebay and B&N. Somebody just chucked American Empire in a huge box with no shrink wrap or padding or anything. Obviously the book bounced around while in transit because the covers were mildly mangled.

Does Amazon store and ship books? Or did CFL ship these out? If it was CFL, and you guys are reading this, put the book in a smaller package, shrink wrap the book, or put bubble wrap and newspaper around the book.
