Product Description As the practice of democracy becomes a lost art, Americans are increasingly desperate for a restored nation. Many have a general sense that the "system" is in disorder -- if not on the road to functional collapse. But though it is easy to identify our political problems, the solutions are not always as clear. In Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries, bestselling author Naomi Wolf illustrates the breathtaking changes that can take place when ordinary citizens engage in the democratic system the way the founders intended and tells how to use that system, right now, to change your life, your community, and ultimately, the nation.

False Assumptions & Poor AnaysisOctober 18, 2008 6 out of 84 found this review helpful
On p. 160, one of the most foolish and ignorant statements Naomi makes is "The great American innovation was religious privacy." A study of American history clearly shows that our founders intended to include religion into the fabric of government, without creating an official State church. I know how much Naomi and her like would love for all us religious nuts to keep our religious beliefs "private."
It is Time to WAKE UP!October 15, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
After reading this book it has become very clear that we are truly entering a crisis in American Democracy. It is our patriotic duty to educate our friends and neighbors about Democracy and what it means to "fight for our freedoms". If we, the people who are aware of what is happening, don't spread the word to others we may wake up one day and the last tipping point will have been reached and it will be too late. This important book should be read, as the subtitle reads, as "A handbook for American revolutionaries". Now is the time to stand up and strongly defend the Rule of law and the Constitution of the United States. This book will give you everything you need to know, as well as the confidence, to boldly be a true American Patriot. Naoimi Wolf is the modern day Paul Revere.
Must have for any one who wants to get invovled beyond "just voting"October 12, 2008 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I'm gonna go out on a line and say that this book isn't quite as journalistic as the last one, though it is very thought provoking and informative.
What this book is more like is a call to action followed by some really useful information on how to take action.
It's a call to get involved with your nation's politics beyond just voting, and their are sections of the book which really show you specifics. Like the "how to stage a protest" section.
