t r u t h o u t | As most of the media focuses in on the most cosmetic aspects of the election race, what could be more refreshing and necessary than the work of two dogged pursuers of the truth?
Amy Goodman is a heroine of uncompromising progressive news, the tireless host of Democracy Now! and a regular correspondent from the front lines of protests and important events like the heartbreaking vigil that took place the night Troy Davis was executed.
Greg Palast is a lone, tenacious investigative reporter, "a cross between Sam Spade and Sherlock Holmes," according to Jim Hightower. Palast never lapses into DC "Villager" pablum punditry; he's too busy uncovering the sordid underside of the ruling elite from Florida to Azerbaijan - and all the seedy spots of corruption in between.
Both these independent media icons have riveting new books out now - and you can order both of them today with a donation to Truthout.
Also available this month: David Cay Johnston's explanation of how big corporations rip us off and get away with it, and a Truthout annual tradition in the form of the new Peace Calendar from Syracuse Cultural Workers.

The Silenced Majority: Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift99-gift/choose-type-donation
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan: Amy Goodman has faced near-death reporting from East Timor and been arrested while reporting from the Republican National Convention in 2008. Her goal is to get to the bottom of a story, not get the financial benefits of becoming a media celebrity. In her latest book, Goodman revisits "stories of uprisings, occupations, resistance, and hope" that have occurred in recent years, often unreported by the mainstream corporate media.
Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift98-gift/choose-type-donation
By Greg Palast
It's the hot-off-the-presses latest publication of intrepid investigative sleuth Greg Palast. With an introduction by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Palast's proof of GOP efforts to steal the vote and his on-site research into the role of the plutocrats in mugging democracy is as lively and absorbing as a Raymond Chandler novel - except that Palast is dishing up truth, not fiction. "Billionaires & Ballot Bandits" includes a "Tales From the Crypt of Democracy" cartoon feature by the irreverent illustrator and writer Ted Rall, and comes with a free "Why We Occupy" DVD compendium, including a Palast talk, comedian Lee Camp's "Moment of Clarity" riff, and footage exposing corporate and political parasites.
2013 Peace Calendar: Occupy the Future: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift100-gift/choose-type-donation
From Syracuse Cultural Workers: Welcome in the New Year with a visually striking Peace Calendar dedicated to the Occupy movement. Eighteen incredibly varied and vibrant images of Occupy poster art comprise this collaged tribute to the transforming energy of the movement. Each month is dedicated to a progressive topic, ranging from support for Bradley Manning to ending patriarchy in our society. With over 200 annotations and holidays for many faiths, the 2013 Peace Calendar is an ideal holiday gift.
The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use "Plain English" to Rob You Blind: https://members.truth-out.org/bgift101-gift/choose-type-donation
By David Cay Johnston
How can corporations bill consumers extra fees and keep money that should not be theirs - and do it legally? David Cay Johnston has answers in his new book. As he explains, "No other modern country gives corporations the unfettered power found in America to gouge customers, shortchange workers, and erect barriers to fair play."
All of these Progressive Picks come highly recommended for Truthout readers and your friends and family.
Sincerely,
The Truthout Team
