Softcover A Reason To Vote Hits Bookstores: Help Make It A Bestseller—Again!

The new, updated, softcover edition of Robert Roth's A Reason to Vote (St. Martin's Press, $14.95) is now in bookstores nationwide, and the Natural Law Party has announced a campaign to move the book onto the bestseller lists.

"We urge all of you to immediately go to your local bookstores and purchase copies of A Reason to Vote for yourselves—and for your family and friends," said Kingsley Brooks, Natural Law Party co-chair. "This is a perfect introduction to the Natural Law Party, and the book gives all the compelling reasons why people should cast their votes for John Hagelin and all our other NLP candidates. The book is priced right at only $14.95, and strong book sales will help to give the Natural Law Party considerable national media attention."

A Reason to Vote, an Amazon.com political bestseller in 1998, has drawn considerable praise from political scientists, journalists, and other bestselling authors (see comments below). The new, updated edition features the Natural Law Party's 2000 platform and a new afterword by the author.

Robert Roth will begin a nationwide book tour in November, doing media interviews, book signings, and public lectures. He will continue to travel and promote the book until the November 2000 election. If you would like to help set up book signings and/or lectures for Robert in your area, please email him from his website at www.a-reason-to-vote.com or call Jay Coplin at 641-469-5081. You can also order the book here on the Natural Law Party website. Get your copies today—and please urge your family and friends to do the same!

Praise for A Reason to Vote

"A brilliant and provocative book which argues impressively that the America envisioned by our nation's founders can be realized through the Natural Law Party. This is must reading for our democracy to thrive."

—Harold H. Bloomfield, M.D., author of Healing Anxiety Naturally

"In this startling and well-researched book, Robert Roth documents the creeping decline of American democracy into the last half-century."

—Harvey Brooks, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"An engaging book ... I enthusiastically recommend A Reason to Vote for courses in American politics, legislative studies, and party politics."

—Carol M. Swain, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University

"I've searched for years to find a political party or movement based soundly on life-affirming principles. To put it bluntly, I needed a reason a vote. I could not find much of what I was looking for in our traditional political parties. Then I read a paradigm-shifting book by Robert Roth. If you are in a place where I have been—a place of searching and of losing hope—I promise you that this book will show you an exciting way to turn your spiritual truth into practical political action. Mr. Roth's book is titled, A Reason to Vote. It is a must-read, even if you are not 'interested in politics.' Especially if you are not interested in politics. The reason you haven't been is probably that you haven't resonated with what politicians are doing. Politics have not provided you with any real way to express who you are. You have not had a reason to vote. Now you will."

—Neale Donald Walsch, excerpted from Friendship with God
