Guys, this is it. Your last chance to
pre-order the special limited edition of Crashing the Gate. After today, you'll still be able to pre-order the book on places like Amazon, B&N, and Powell's, but it'll be the regular edition of the book, the same edition you'll be able to pick up at bookstores in late March.
The Progressive Partners special limited edition will come out nearly a month before the regular edition, it has a slightly different cover and thank you letter, you help fund the book's promotional efforts, and every dime you pay goes to progressive organizations. And it'll help the book debut on the best seller list.
Now I know that I promised a pony earlier on, but then I realized that distributing 5,000 ponies would be, well, a logistical nightmare. And the finances weren't working out so well either... Um, please don't sue me.
But I'm serious about this -- you buy this edition, you're doing the most to help make this book a success. And I can't help but appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. So this I'm serious about -- you buy this edition of the book, and the beer's on me. As we barnstorm through the country this spring promoting the book, you better believe we'll be hitting every Drinking Liberally chapter we can find. (Tour dates still being worked out.)

And speaking of blurbs, here's another one:
In a political culture dominated by corporate money and conservative ideology, the revival of progressive citizen politics is American democracy's best hope. From the beginning, Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga have been in the vanguard of the "netroots" movement--and now, in their tough, insightful and forthright book, these pioneering activists explain how progressive patriots can win.
