A blueprint for how we as progressives can expose the false "truths" about the economy

Friend--

President Obama just gave us yet another huge economic win: Earlier this week, he issued an executive order requiring all federal contractors to offer paid sick leave -- something I and more than 75,000 Democracy for America members like you asked him to do last year.

This isn't the first time I've teamed up successfully with DFA to make progress happen. Together, along with progressive activist and billionaire Nick Hanauer, we mounted a successful campaign to get the president to expand the number of people eligible to earn overtime pay. And through the more than 700 "Inequality for All" house parties we hosted in 2014, we helped make income inequality a key political issue -- one that is shaping the 2016 presidential race in profound ways.

Working with DFA members like you, we've secured some critical economic victories -- but we aren't going to end income inequality through executive orders alone. We need to change the culture of corruption more broadly. And because DFA members have always been on the front lines when it comes to speaking truth to power, I want to extend a very special offer to you -- one that will only be available for a limited time.

My new book, "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few," is coming out later this month. In it, I explain in detail how the American economy is failing us and what we can do to fix it. Sure, you could wait for it to show up at a local big box store. But if you contribute $39 or more to DFA right now, you'll get your very own copy, as a thank you from DFA -- and you'll be supporting progressive campaigns and candidates in the process.

Will you make a contribution of $39 (or more) to DFA now to reserve your copy of my new book -- "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few" -- before DFA's September 20 pre-order deadline?

I want my book to serve as a blueprint for how we as progressives can expose the false "truths" about the economy being peddled to the public by Wall Street and corrupt politicians who are invested in the status quo. Every day, we are being told that workers in America are being paid exactly what they are "worth," that raising the minimum wage will destroy jobs, and that corporations must serve their shareholders alone -- but none of these things are true!

The fact is that the wealthiest Americans have created a culture in which the "free market" -- an economy that primarily benefits them at everyone else's expense -- cannot be questioned. It's up to us to change that.

Until we start loudly pushing back on the myths they've built to protect themselves, we're never going to see the kinds of fundamental change we need to get our economy back on track and working for everyone.

DFA has a long history of working to level the economic playing field. Not only have they championed many issues that matter greatly to working families, but DFA has committed to recruiting and supporting the kinds of progressive candidates we need to see more of in Washington -- people who are there to serve the people, not just to take a spin through the revolving door.

That's why I think that the best possible way for you to get your hands on a copy of my book is to contribute $39 or more to DFA right now. Not only will you be getting some great reading material, you'll be sustaining important progressive organizing in 2016 and beyond.

Don't miss your opportunity to read my new book and support Democracy for America at the same time: Contribute $39 (or more) right now and DFA will send you a copy of "Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few" as a thank you. (Note: This is only available for a limited time -- DFA's pre-order deadline isSeptember 20).

Thank you for supporting our work together. I hope you love the book!
