Excerpts from the book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (Penguin 2003) by Greg Palast

This series is part of the WorkingForChange campaign, in cooperation with Martin Luther King III of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, to prevent the theft of the presidential election of 2004. With each excerpt we are including links to sign onto the WorkingForChange/King petition

[In the opening excerpts from Palast's book we learned that five months before the November 2000 election, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida and his Secretary of State, Katherine Harris, moved to purge 57,7000 people from the voter rolls, supposedly criminals not allowed to vote. Almost every one was innocent of crimes -- though the majority were guilty of being African American. Palast's discovery of the ethnic cleansing of the voter rolls, which gave George Bush the White, was front page news in Britain, where Palast reports for the Guardian papers. But the report remained hidden from Americans.]
