Dear Member,

Take your pick or go to both!

At 6 PM, Cambridge's Drinking Liberally is hosting "How Would a Patriot Act?" author Glenn Greenwald (glenngreenwald.blogspot.com...) at the Middlesex Lounge near Central Square.

Greenwald's book is a fascinating description of the way George Bush and his conservative cronies are abusing the Constitution, and what we can do about it. With 50,000 sales on the first day, "How Would a Patriot Act?" became a bestseller instantly. It's a welcome antidote to the steady diet of right-wing propaganda that conservative media has been peddling for years.

At 7 PM, Move On is hosting David Sirota (http://davidsirota.com), author of "Hostile Takeover: How Big Money & Corruption Conquered Our Government - And How We Take It Back" and a featured commentator on the Al Franken show, at Porter Square Books.

Sirota's book is the first and only book in the aftermath of recent major scandals that aggressively tackles corruption -- and both parties' complicity in it. As former Vice President Al Gore said of "Hostile Takeover": "Every politically engaged citizen should read this book."

Both of these guys are great people and amazingly knowledgable and inspiring. I heartily recommend coming on out to see either of them.
