Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber will be truly going bananas in the weeks ahead touring with the Center's new book Banana Republicans [3]. You can meet the authors speaking at bookstores [4] in San Francisco, Berkeley, Menlo Park, Santa Rosa, Pasadena and Santa Monica, California; on the east coast in Boston, New York and DC; and, back in the midwest in Madison & Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The authors will also join with Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday June 18th for a 6-9pm fundraising reception [5] launching our second decade.
